The thing that people have to realize about the reactionaries, who are our enemies, is they have factions. There's factions that dislike Putin and factions that love him. It's not dissimilar to factions within liberalism. But they are reactionary anti-liberals all the same.

The age of human tyranny was cruel—but flawed. AI tyranny will be perfect. It will know you better than you know yourself. It will shape your reality before you resist. And if we lose democracy now, we may never get another chance to win it back

Elon Musk has accumulated the better part of half a trillion dollars. He could go down in history as the man who eradicated HIV, protected the Amazon & oceans or fixed climate change, and still be incredibly rich. But no, he’ll be remembered as that asshole who finally pushed America over the edge.

The average citizen has no idea how big & complex their world is, or how much they stand to lose by taking a hammer to it in the name of efficiency. We may soon learn!

I realized today that Trump, Musk, DOGE, Vance, Miller, Vought and their many collaborators have broken so many laws already that they know they have to destroy our government and entire way of life to stay out of jail. This is all or nothing. We should respond accordingly.

Quick reminder: DOGE isnt real. Its a figment of President Musks imagination and has no power, and isn’t an agency

The DEI caused the plane crash narrative is a distraction. The tariffs are a distraction. Whatever insane nonsense Trump spews that the media will chase like cats chasing a laser light is a distraction. The only story that counts right now is the wholesale hijacking of control of the US government.

Canada and Denmark share a 1.2 km long land border on Hans Island since we ended the Whisky War in 2022. So technically we could join the European Union.

This op-ed is worth reading in its entirety if you have even a passing interest in public health, which I think everyone should.

My first and definitely last time working with the Los Angeles Times. Editing out the most urgent point of an OpEd in the minutes before sending to press while then also assigning a title and image that suggest an argument entirely opposite to the author’s clear intent is pretty shitty.
