Last of my 3 discussions of conspiracies at Alexander the Great's court, this time the Page's Conspiracy: a horse of a different color compared to the prior 2. This time, we deal with matters of timé (τιμή) or public standing/honor.

Indigenous communities raise concerns over heightened ICE actions across the country As immigration enforcement expands nationwide, Native families say increased ICE activity is creating fear in their communities, even among U.S. citizens and tribal members.

Indigenous communities nationwide are increasingly reporting encounters with immigration agents, including detention — despite them being U.S. citizens and members of sovereign tribal nations.

LOLOL

In 1854, after watching the federal government deploy 2000 federal troops and spend $40,000 sending Anthony Burns back into slavery, Boston's Amos Adams Lawrence said “we went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.”

Ilia Malinin's crash-out reminds me of Nadia Comaneci's in 1980. He might be older than she was (22 to just 18), but the pressure was still absurdly high.

Alexander & Hephaistion: Historical Besties for V-Day

I wrote this 7 years ago, but its worth a share here for Valentine's. What initially interested me about #Hephaistion was the fact his friendship with/love for #AlexandertheGreat (and Alexander's for him) seems to have been the Real Deal.

I feel that. Hard.

Just remember, anything Trump says is an exaggeration, a lie, or total gaslighting bullshit.

Don't believe him whenever his mouth is open.

Part 2 of conspiracies: the Philotas Affair (on which I've published). Only half an hour, so not an in-depth look, but covers the main bits, including the actual conspiracy vs. Philotas getting caught up in it via "crisis thinking."

Conspiracies tell us a lot about how a court runs by highlighting the cracks: both what caused them & when they occurred. Alexander faced 3 major conspiracies. This video concerns the 1st. (Parts 2 [Philotas] and 3 [Pages] to come)

They are warehousing human beings. Stephen Miller's vision for America is vast warehouses of people in concrete concentration camps, labor camps, death camps. And then CoreCivic and GeoGroup can bill the taxpayer billions for disappearing us into these warehouse gulags.

Malinin is flippin' insane. Even with a double-hand-down fall and less-than-his-best, his score blows my mind.

Trump Education Department cracks down on college student voting programs College students, who tend to vote more Democratic, represent one of the fastest-growing voting blocs.

NEW: The Trump administration’s Department of Education has launched an investigation that could severely restrict college student voter registration and turnout programs nationwide.

I understand folks are scared but I want you to think about the mechanics of this.

There are more polling places (>100k) than ICE and CBP agents combined, so they can only pick a few districts to try to intimidate.

Now what happens when cell phone footage of that goes online in the early morning?

LOL! Yes. Or books.

Protestant work ethic on speed as justification.

Siamese cat with light blue eyes on a lap atop a light blue blanket.

Not Caturday, but Kleo looks very pleased with herself and her eyes match the blanket.

Thanks. That makes more sense.

WTF?!

And what are they going to do with all these people? The new (legal) slavery.

Friends in Oxford, MS are a week into having no power, water, heating, sewer and there’s no news about when any of it will be restored. No FEMA, no national guard. Not much news coverage

Note this change! Weasels.

People are pissed,
