Shoutout to the pundits who insisted Trump wouldn’t actually jail his political opponents, when less than six months in he’s now arrested a sitting judge, the mayor of New Jersey’s largest city, and a member of Congress.

Holy ****

The free speech app!

Trump for Pope, a third term, re-opening Alcatraz. These stories all serve a critical purpose. To distract from the story of our age: that the President of the United States is enriching his family with billions by running a corruption racket right out of the Oval Office.

Automobile dependence erodes public health in many ways: blunt force trauma (#1 cause for children and young adults), air pollution (CVD, asthma), noise pollution (QoL, dementia) but perhaps the most pernicious is that it has almost completely displaced walking. www.sciencedaily.com/releases/201...

Clay Jackson's story is picking up momentum. Jackson is the Texas attorney who was visited by two law enforcement officers at his home after giving some legal advices to an undocumented family. He was fired from his job with FNF after talking to me about the incident. Here's Judd Legum:

"Human rights are not only violated by terrorism, repression or assassination, but also by unfair economic structures that create huge inequalities." - Pope Francis

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

“The government is not a car company.”

I’ve been deliberately buying US-made products for years, paying more to avoid poor labor practices & because shipping is bad for the environment. If people wanted & could afford US-made, we’d have more US-made options. The demand isn’t there. Tariffs won’t change that.

Shame is normal and healthy in appropriate doses, it’s the lubricant that allows a non-delusional assessment of your actually-existing actions and character grind against believing in noble things and having a moral code worth anything.

Why does America hate the poor? Mostly because of propaganda.

Inaction is a weapon of mass destruction

Something to think about

Been reading a little mythology and it seems like one of the main cross-cultural themes is, “do not, under any circumstances, get on a boat.”

External locus of control mindset: there’s nothing I can do, it’s up to the politicians to figure it out. Internal locus of control mindset: *dons suicide vest*
