There are a multitude of reasons for 4,000 dollar gold, but chief among them has to be the leader of the country with the current reserve currency doing things like:
Friday: fuck you China, a million percent tariffs you little shits
Sunday: look, China, I didn't mean it, I love you man

federal agents stealing children and sending them south. where have i heard about that before?

This is amazing.

If pundits would like to talk about violence, a terrorist recently shot up the CDC and another assassinated Democratic officials in Minnesota but they sort of let both stories disappear

Not as threatening as motorbikes in DC I know but maybe we could circle back?

The wide shots of the Oval Office are so much worse than the usual background shots. An assault on the eyes from every direction. Tacky, weird, and relentless.

This explains the MAGA crowd.

Fucking HELL yall.

If you want a repro clinic in LA dm me. This is devastating. Mississippi closed its only physical location. Birmingham AL will be the only physical clinic in the LA/MS/AL region.

Do we think old people with bad eyesight and the volume cranked to 50 so they can watch tv across the room will see that watermark?

What the fuck are we doing here? ai fabricated videos of congress on the news? This is not the Paul Verhoeven movie I want to be in, I want a do-over.

Trump's administration

This is aan accurate description

Who is Speaking About the Geonosians? Andor is a human story: it’s about love and loss and rage and resistance and the price we pay to make a better world, one that we ourselves may never get to inhabit. It’s also a human story. There …

I’ve officially made my writing debut over on @clashingsabers.bsky.social!

Andor’s characters are (almost all) humans. Ghorman was a massacre of humans. So what is #Andor saying about whose suffering we empathize with…and whose we don’t?

All reporting suggests that she is not a refugee by any definition of the term, yet she is being flown here at taxpayer expense and handed a path to citizenship while the real refugee program remains dead.

I’ve got nothing against her, but I do have something against the president doing this.

NEWS: U.S. and China agree to a 90-day pause on new tariffs after shipping to U.S. ports plummeted.

Tariffs on Chinese imports will be cut from 145% to 30%. Tariffs on U.S. imports will be cut from 125% to 10%.

If tariffs should result in massive job growth and make the U.S. rich, why lower them?

Last week, three federal judges blasted the Alabama state legislature for “a deliberate decision to double down on the dilution of Black Alabamians’ votes.” Do the math. 60 years after the voting rights act. 160 years after the 13 and 14 amendments. Why? How much longer? #VRA @lwvus.bsky.social

Headline from 1930s: Hitler Fund Gets ‘Voluntary Gifts’

Any time we see another CEO pony up a million for Trump’s inauguration, remember this headline.

Great series. Demons at Rainbow Bridge as well.

We'll Have Herd Immunity by April Covid cases have dropped 77% in six weeks. Experts should level with the public about the good news. By Marty Makary Feb. 18, 2021 at 12:35 pm ET

Trump FDA pick Marty Makary wrongly predicted the pandemic would be over by April 2021.

Later in 2021, hundreds of thousands of people would die in the US from the Omicron wave, one of the worst of the pandemic.

Well, isn’t that convenient? Musk gets named to the fake department of DOGE, and suddenly NASA’s future is up for debate—just as SpaceX is poised to cash in. Funny how “efficiency” seems to mean redirecting public funds straight into private pockets.

Dissociation, Misogyny, and Saturday Night Live in Authoritarian Times - Women’s Media Center Saturday Night Live, a cultural mainstay that has offered healing and hope at pivotal moments of national crisis, chose instead to rub salt in the wound in its first post-election episode.

Before SNL tonight, let's talk about their first post-election ep. Would love to hear your thoughts on my essay about Lorne Michaels' capitulation in advance.

SNL's gutter misogyny was more than a bomb, it was betrayal by an institution that previously met the moment in times of national crisis.

UPDATED: Trump's confirmed picks to lead US health agencies:

HHS - Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
NIH - Jay Bhattacharya
CMS - Mehmet Oz
CDC - Dave Weldon
FDA - Marty Makary
Surgeon General - Janette Nesheiwat

All have spread disinformation on vaccines and public health measures.

This is how they cover up what abortion bans do — fire anyone who helps tell the stories of harm. Everyone who is or can be pregnant will pay the price.
