I'm going to be honest. My mental health is in a very bad place right now. It could just be the sum of my own personal and societal problems, but whatever the cause, it's bad.

It’s easier to make a political issue of anti-immigrant positions if you are not also taking anti-immigrant positions.

I'm starting to get uncomfortable with "flood the zone" framing. The implication seems to always be that the savvy move is to ignore some/all of it. But the thing is, he's flooding the zone WITH POLICYMAKING. Some of it will fail, but none of it is just completely dismissible.

🚨 JD Vance reposted a Harvard legal scholar known for arguments in support of extensive executive powers and unilateral executive action. He appears to be telegraphing that the administration is going to ignore judicial orders seeking to stop its radical efforts to reshape the federal government.

"But maybe the biggest reason for Trump’s desire to kill the congestion charge is a phenomenon I identified the last time I wrote about this: the rage some Americans obviously feel at any suggestion that people should change their behavior for the common good." Via @pkrugman.bsky.social

This is completely true. It's also true that all doctors in the USA first have a BS or a BA degree from a university and it's generally considered important that physicians be capable of empathy and dealing with uncertainty. These skills are taught in the Humanities (which NIH, NSF etc do not fund).

Pushing back on the premise here: There has been a 40 YEAR push for “government efficiency” now. It gutted the social safety net, left agencies understaffed & overworked & left it incredibly fragile. That fragility is HELPING make this coup possible. Gov’t is too lean, it needs MORE redundancy.

It's also not true. White maternal death rates are also not great when compared to other countries. The downside of using the people you systematically opress as your benchmark is you fail to recognize how your own policies are killing you.

The Trump régime's fetishizing and favor for Afrikaner "refugees" is good reason to recall that the Mississippi Delta and other places already crawl with white South African farm workers, displacing local Black workers in violation of H-2A visa rules mississippitoday.org/2023/01/06/b...

I watched Tropic Thunder when it first came out with conservative family members who thought it was the funniest thing they'd ever seen. To this day, I wonder what exact message they took away from the movie, and I suspect it's that "black face is fun and we should be able to do it."
