That's a new experience. I ordered a gift off the internet and was greeted by an email from DHL informing me I have to pay >$100 in import duties to receive it. But hey, at least tariffs aren't taxes, right?

To repeat myself, any reckoning about "what happened" to the Republican Party needs to grapple with the fact that the two most consistently and enthusiastically authoritarian justices on the Supreme Court were not nominated by Trump

Federal law empowers the GAO to sue the President when he unconstitutionally steals Congress's power of the purse. So of course DOGE is going after GAO just as Trump 2.0 is gearing up to unconstitutionally steal Congress's power of the purse.

Huge opportunity for a political party that believes government can do good things. Public opinion is finally shifting after 50 years of right wing anti-government propaganda. This isn't the time for cowering and throat clearing www.cnn.com/2025/06/01/p...

Ukraine just carried out what may prove to be the most strategically devastating insurgent attack on military assets in the 21st century, an eighteen month cross border drone infiltration / raid potentially destroying a third or so of Russia's best long range bombers

The House GOP just voted against an amendment that would stop ICE from detaining or deporting U.S. citizens. Let that sink in. They had the chance to protect you—and chose not to. This isn’t hypothetical. It’s already happened. @democrats.org @housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.senate.gov

“the republican senator recorded a social media video belittling and insulting her constituents’ concerns while walking through a graveyard and telling constituents sarcastically to embrace jesus” is a very 2025 sentence

something that stands out about this is just how cheap it is for us to have world-leading scientific capacity we spent ~6.75 trillion last year, and the combined budgets for NIH, NSF and NASA are barely more than 1% of that what an incredible waste to lose it all for a drop in the bucket

This is not about saving money, this is about weakening a class of people who have been trained to think independently, are used to speaking out, and whose voices are respected and listened to. This isn’t an economic move, it’s a political one. The aim is to hamstring dissenters.

Deporting a gay man to Russia is beyond horrific, and yet this admin is happy to do it. And the verbal abuse he describes is abhorrent; and not new. Guards at detention centers, jails, and prisons get away with crap like this all the time. It’s appalling, it’s not new under Trump, just worse now.

Reading this interview with Maksim Borisov, a gay Russian dissident who sought asylum in the US last year only for ICE to arrest and detain him in February. He's currently held in Eloy Detention Center in Arizona where he says "trans people… just disappear."

A Palantir database on all Americans is a frightening step towards fascism. Musk gets a lot of attention—rightfully so—but Peter Thiel is the techno-fascist billionaire hiding behind the scenes pulling the strings to end democracy. Thiel and his techno-fascist followers are threats to the world.

Who wants to bet those wild swings in Palantir stock were related to news of DOGE acquiring data on US citizens as it moved from department to department?

This is why I unsubscribed from NYT: because social media is less reliable, but more honest. They had a clear duty to cover this wayyyy before the election.

I’ve never had a security clearance but I know quite a few of you have. Question: If you admitted to regular use of ketamine, ecstasy, and shrooms, and carried a little box of mystery pills around your SCIF every day, would you have gotten or kept your clearance?

Once Palantir gets NSA's data, it's game over for America. They'll have enough dirt to go after absolutely anybody. This leads to the worst-case scenario: secret police going after the President's current or former critics.
