So I don't have the energy to redo the entire thread about the papal conclave but I will redo the part about the Latin nerdery: the announcement of a new pope is always in Latin, and uses a very traditional form.

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

Wow who could’ve guessed that this would happen It’s almost as if USAID was a pillar of American soft power and influence in the world It’s almost as if it was entirely predictable that America’s adversaries would work to fill the void left by USAID’s destruction

This segment from @maryannefranks.bsky.social is an incredibly tight argument that captures the breadth of the Trump assault on free speech perfectly and in less than a minute. Spread it far and wide.

This sums up the problem with understanding fascism, amongst the so-called ‘resistance’. This was right wing propaganda radio promoting US right wing political views. Not surprisingly, the fascists turn this on its head, saying the opposite. To ‘fight back’ you have to know what things are! [1]

Fucker thinks he invented “due process is only good if it produces results that people who look like me approve of” and dresses it up in some pretentious nonsense. Rocky Road is against the common good because I do not like Rocky Road. I am a deep thinker at Harvard.

If you supported a 10 year old American child with brain cancer, on her way to medical treatment, being deported because her parents are undocumented (but have no criminal records), then you’re a horrific person and I’m not sure how you sleep at night.

I think Americans, blessed with relatively stable government for a long time, assume there is someone, some adult, who will step in and make things right before the President does anything REALLY bad. There’s not.

President Trump issued an executive order to find out what education funds he can legally rescind based on curriculum he doesn’t like. Existing law already answers that question —nothing.

Extremist bullying freaks don’t want to be called extremist bullying freaks. Claremont is a reactionary sewer. Fuck them if they don’t like being told so.
