I remember crying when I read the headline on the left in 2010 - seeing it splayed out in black and white in my own school paper made it seem so real. Once again, the headline on the right this week made everything seem so real, and I ~may~ have cried again, albeit for very different reasons.

On the upside, if you prefer not to live this timeline is great because there are so many ways to die and they are becoming much more accessible (whether you want that or not)

The accelerationist belief that if things get bad enough, then things will start to get better is quite something to see in the wild. It’s wrong though. Historically, misery creates more misery and is visited on the most marginalized in ever intensifying cycles of horror.

NEW - The IRS is expecting a "purge" today of probationary employees, agency sources tell me. In a video posted last night, a National Treasury Employees Union (NTEU) chapter president warned staff to download all their documents ASAP because other agencies only gave workers one hour to leave.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

What a change from the game in 2023 where Canadian fans stepped in to sing the Star Spangled Banner when there was a problem with the sound. So infuriating to see a once very friendly relationship soured by the actions of a handful of people with too much power.
