"the president defied a Supreme Court ruling to return a man mistakenly sent to a gulag... and spoke of sending Americans to foreign concentration camps. This is the beginning of an American policy of state terror, and it has to be identified as such to be stopped" snyder.substack.com/p/state-terror

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

There's a lot going on, God knows, but don't miss that the President of the United States is using the full force of the Federal government, as well as tax dollars, to punish a state because its Governor... refused to do as he instructed. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/02/u...

ATTN FEDERAL WORKERS: It has come to my attention that several agencies are now offering WiFi for you to use with your PERSONAL devices. If I were you, I would NOT use that WiFi. I suspect it's a way for DOGE to monitor your personal communications.

No single scandal is a distraction from another scandal. The totality of the scandals is a distraction from all of them. That made sense in my head.

A sunny Saturday stroll through the snowy hood, some of it a literal drag. As a spoiled rotten Chihuahua, she protested against the cold and frosty white stuff, so at times passing cars would have seen some crazy lady shouting, "JUST WALK" at some mysterious thing at her feet.

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

When social media exposes traditional media’s deceit, it’s time for independent journalists to investigate why the press is backing a president who undermines free press—and is it coordinated?

Now that the miscreants and minions of mayhem are in power, I'm wondering if perhaps this whole #DeepState {said in a baritone} maga been obsessed with might just be... the U.S. Constitution!? Anywho, they all don't seem to honour nor abide by it, are above it, and just totally ignore it. 😏

Of Superpower, Wealthy White Boys, Botox’d Stepford Poodles and Hope I think each of us has our own superpower. A thing we do with uncommon skill. It often, I've discovered, takes a good while to find, or accept, or understand, or feel. It's different in everyone, how it manifests, and when.…

Don’t worry, the reality tv show star Secretary of Hotubsexportation is handing the FAA’s aviation systems over to the exploding penis rocket/car imploding ketamine king and his merry band of unripened incels. This is fine. Everything is fine.

It is profoundly heartbreaking to see America, a country I still feel a connection to, becoming increasingly a place I hardly recognize. The crisis after crisis, after crisis, day after day... is exhausting.

A teen DOGE staffer recently given access to government systems worked at a startup known for hiring convicted hackers. Someone using a Telegram handle associated with him also solicited a cyberattack-for-hire service in 2022. All raising questions about his vetting. www.wired.com/story/edward...

FOTUS signs EOs that get reversed, alienates allies around the world, fantasizes of kicking Palestinians out and building gaza-a-lago, Musk rapes & pillages gov agencies he has a grudge with, while the GOP sign-off on the circus of incompetence like the spineless twits they are. This is winning? 🫤

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

In plain English: Republicans in Congress plot more severe budget cuts to health care, nursing homes, and school lunches to pay for tax breaks for billionaires like Elon Musk. It sounds absurd, but it’s true.

Observing the chaos unfolding in down yonder has been quite the spectacle. I've wandered around in a daze, fluctuating between sorrow and baffled by how so many people got hypnotized by the right-wing evil borg-mind.
