I am getting eggs at much better prices through a small farm share right now because they aren’t part of the price fixing. Yes bird flu, but the egg prices are largely opportunistic chaos.

Replacing the military brass and attorneys with three-star generals you pluck from retirement is exactly what a dictator looking to use an army to do some violence does.

Oh fuck, what a grift. J6 terrorists sue a DOJ controlled by Trump; Trump orders DOJ lawyers to settle for an undisclosed amount, both sides agree to an NDA. This can happen dozens, hundreds of times. Just an ingenious way to funnel tax dollars to far-right terrorist groups.

Ok, I'm doing a version of this thread for 🧪 who are new to political conditions where info security is a safety issue: 1. Don't make public lists of people who are engaging in acts of resistance 2. Be weary of calls to advertise acts of subversion 3. Don't live post resistance meetings

I know it seems like making comments is futile when presumably they will do what they want anyway, but it DOES matter for creating a public record and a public history - and comments, esp the # of fors v againsts, do come up occasionally in court cases. Speaking up is not futile. It's critical.

Trump admin says 75k employees (out of 2MM eligible) accepted the “Fork” resignation offer. If true - a big if - that’s 3.75% of the workforce. But in 2023, 6% of federal employees left anyway, due to normal attrition — and without a generous 6-months DOGE payoff. www.nbcnews.com/politics/whi...

This is one of the big things I am thinking about at this moment: how the place where we were is because when it came to equality, white America always went just far enough to feel good about themselves, but never far enough to feel good about other people.

You’re not safe because you voluntarily comply by saying “The Mississippi River flows into the Gulf of America” because next month or next week the required loyalty language will be “the American River flows into the Gulf of America” and your present compliance will become evidence of “disloyalty.”

This is the now third deportation “detention” site outside the U.S. that the administration has disclosed. These are more than concentration camps; they’re what’s called “zones of lawlessness.” People being held in isolated facilities. Some if not all are de facto stateless.

Calling yourself a king doesn’t make you a king. Drowning your brother in a butt of malmsey, waiting for your other brother to die, locking your nephews in a tower and questioning their legitimacy as heirs, then executing the Lord Chamberlain before you start becoming increasingly paranoid does.

He wants to be able to torture & murder higher primates in barbaric experiments, without oversight. He’s already done it. His own scientists blew the whistle. Imagine your dog being tortured like this. Now imagine an animal that reasons. This is sociopathic behavior on the Mengele level.
