The Firehose Effect Don’t let Trump’s deluge daunt you

Trump's firehose of executive orders is meant to inundate you and make you stop trying to keep up. I encourage you to keep up. Keep reading. Keep watching.

Convicted US Capitol rioter Pam Hemphill turns down Trump pardon Former "Maga granny" Pamela Hemphill tells the BBC the Trump government is trying to "rewrite history".

Pamela Hemphill has refused a pardon from Trump for her role in January 6. "Accepting a pardon would only insult the Capitol police officers, rule of law and, of course, our nation.”

Truth.

Me, waking up today:

Have you read this yet? What are you waiting for?

Bye, bitch.

They’re always guilty of that which they accuse others of doing.

During the attack on the Capitol on #January6, 140 police officers were injured & 5 were killed. 
Officer Brian Sicknick died of a stroke from injuries he sustained. 4 police officers died by suicide in the following days & months.

Trump called it a “day of love”.

I've shared this before. Seems like a good time to share it again.

Journalists flock to Bluesky as X becomes increasingly 'toxic' Journalists are finding more readers and less hate on Bluesky than on the platform they used to know as Twitter.

NBC: Mississippi Free Press "Bluesky is getting 20 times the engagement or more than Twitter,” Pittman said. “Seeing a social media platform that doesn’t throttle links really makes it clear how badly we were being limited.”

Must ban all political donations.

Me: I will simply write a series of three blogposts explaining the implications of Project 2025 for emergency management. This will take a week or so but won't be too big of a deal.

Also me: Two weeks later and 10,000 words into just the first blogpost.

Sigh.

History repeats.

In late February 1921, 2 weeks before taking office as POTUS, Warren Harding writes a letter to the richest man in America, William Randolph Hearst, thanking him for helping him win the presidency with favorable coverage in major newspapers he owned & begging for his advice.
