Important to stop phrasing & headlining things as "Trump does XXX" (e.g. "Trump fires all USPS heads and integrates it under Commerce"); we can simply say he is purporting to do XXX, or claiming the power to do XXX. Mere fact of a president saying he did something doesn't will it into existence.

one of those reporters who so privilege their access to Oval Office photo-ops that they can't be bothered to stand up for the exclusion of their AP colleagues could simply ask Trump why he's firing all the people who rake the forests

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

I have not seen people talking about this so far w/ 47's cuts to roles. "Members of the Aviation Security Advisory Committee received a memo Tuesday" eliminating their role. This is a mandated committee by law dating back to PanAm 103. @jonostrower.com @wandrme.paxex.aero apnews.com/article/coas...

We say that people don't notice constitutional regime collapse because it comes on too slowly but I'm not sure how much faster it could be happening; we are literally at concentration camps on day 9.

I do think there's something about the Chinese company knowing exactly how to operate in the environment that really brings home where we have arrived.

Trump hated TikTok (because China) until it helped him win an election (as even he acknowledges) and now he’s going to save it and take a victory lap. So he’ll have X, TikTok, Insta, and Facebook all working on his behalf. That’s a big difference between now and 2017.

New Marist poll: Trump starts with a net-negative favorability rating, 44% favorable, 49% unfavorable. This destroys the idea Trump has a mandate. Wish Democratic leaders would see these polls and realize Trump is not popular. Stop talking common ground and start fighting!

Sure, Doom in a PDF is impressive, but I want to see somebody do it in a .MOV. It's almost certainly possible (but very likely unplayable on anything current) – at one point, QuickTime rivaled Adobe's products in terms of the bewildering, unnecessary, and seldom-used functions that it supported.

Debating riding this morning? Grip is great, weather is warm and Bryant Ave bikeway in Minneapolis is busy! Saw 10 riders in ten blocks, and the farmstead ice rink is getting a new frozen surface.

Being a “conservative intellectual” must rule so much. There’s this giant mass of babies that are scared of cities, mad at cartoons, and intimidated by women, and your job is to convince them having those feelings makes them brave warriors for western civilization

I want to remind everyone that your local library is both physical AND digital. You hate streaming everything because the price is ridiculous? Library. You hate ads because they're every 3 mins or less? Library. You want to reduce your digital footprint? Library. You want sourced info? Library.
