I started out writing about the trial and execution of Socrates. That brought me to the nature of subversiveness and the role of subversive elements in a democracy. 🎶 Come gather 'round people wherever you roam . . . "🎶 terikanefield.com/part-4-socra...

TLDR There is a fundamental collision happening between a US court judge trying to enforce rules of the US Constitution, and the executive trying to break them. Seriously, why is this not bolded from page news? This is how republics fail.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk have cut off funding for half of the health centers that serve 400,000 Virginians, forcing some to close, which could mean up to 200,000 Virginians are suddenly without healthcare www.vpm.org/news/2025-02...

Cool. Trump has managed to politicize dam releases—this one was not on my BINGO card! According to @petergleick.bsky.social “I don’t know where this water is going, but this is the wrong time of year to be releasing water from these reservoirs.” www.latimes.com/environment/...

Dear California farmers and Congressional representatives: Trump has just literally thrown millions of gallons of #water away that farmers were counting on this summer, purely to brag that he could. That #cawater cannot be captured or used now by anyone. www.latimes.com/environment/...

The carefully managed water systems in California's Central Valley saw a sudden deluge after the Army Corps of Engineers unexpectedly released reservoir water. “In 25 years, I’ve never seen anything like this. I was given no explanation at all.”

“We have no visibility into what they’re doing with the computer and data systems,” one of the officials said. “It creates a real cybersecurity risk.” Musk now has access to a vast database which contains dates of birth, Social Security numbers, home addresses, etc… of millions of federal workers.

I love how the same idiot trumpers who literally blamed egg prices on Biden, and bragged that trump was going to magically bring them down, are all backtracking and saying he CAN'T do anything about egg prices. And eggs are just the beginning. YOU voted for this bullshit.

Great column that perfectly encapsulates my own thoughts on this. I’ve thought of responding “Salam alaikum” (“peace be upon you”) just to push back against the Christian normative stance but I’m a gentle atheist not looking for confrontation with strangers

Trump started the TikTok ban. Republicans forced it into the package with aid for Ukraine. Dems went along with it because they had no choice. Dem Senators try to save TikTok at the last minute. Republicans reject it. Supreme Court unanimously rules in favor of the law. Dems take the blame.

Something doesn’t have to directly affect you for you to have empathy. Lack of empathy is a character flaw.
