The Next Terrorist Attack And What Comes After (Updated)

Six months ago I wrote this post about “the next terrorist attack.” I republish it now (lightly updated) because my fear of this scenario has recently grown much greater.

The Republican Plan to Reform the Census Could Put Everyone’s Privacy at Risk A little-known algorithmic process called “differential privacy” helps keep census data anonymous. Conservatives want it gone.

US census data is carefully anonymized for good reason. Now Republicans want to change that -- and their plan could put the data of every person living in the US at risk.

Trump was able to find $40 billion to bail out Argentina and $300 million for his new ballroom.

Yet he can't find funds to prevent millions of Americans from losing access to healthcare or stop kids from going hungry.

Cruelty is the point.

We’re sharing this because everyone claimed Project 2025 wasn’t real, yet here we are. Trump has also been talking more openly about a third term, and Steve Bannon said there’s a group actively working on it turns out, there might be one.

Come hear Charlie and others speak on Nov 27th www.westendphoenix.com/events/findi...

There's money available to feed poor people. The Trump regime has deleted that fact from a government website, but it's still a fact.

All but 2 Universities Decline a Trump Offer of Preferential Funding One of the two, Vanderbilt University, signaled it had reservations.

Seven of the nine universities that the White House initially approached about a plan to steer more federal money toward schools aligned with President Trump’s priorities have refused to endorse the proposal.

They had told Newsom to keep I-5 open during this stunt.

Any American medium that fails to cover the largest protests in American history is failing in the basic mission of informing the public about the facts.

Trump urged Zelenskyy to accept Putin’s terms or be ‘destroyed’ by Russia US president tossed aside maps of Ukraine frontline in volatile White House meeting

"The US president tossed aside maps of the frontline in Ukraine, insisted Zelenskyy surrender the entire Donbas region to Putin, and repeatedly echoed talking points the Russian leader had made in their call a day earlier"

Amazing!

Reporters walked out of the Pentagon on Wednesday after news outlets refused to sign new press rules laid out by Pete Hegseth, the secretary of defense. The new rules raise the prospect of punishment for simply requesting information on matters of public interest. Read more: nyti.ms/48sfl6q

On October 18th, millions of brave Americans will stand up and peacefully protest against the authoritarian disease metastasizing under Donald Trump.

No Thrones. No Crowns. No Kings. @gtconway.bsky.social

It's time again as a notable Italian-American to note Christopher Columbus was an absolute piece of shit human who didn't land anywhere near this actual country so why the fuck should he stop the mail for the whole day

Anyway, Happy Indigenous People's Day, y'all

I think we're all pretty clear on what Turning Point USA means when they say "all-American."

The Commander in Chief Is Not Okay Trump put on a disturbing show for America’s generals and admirals.

I haven't posted much lately, but this needs to be shared.

No one.

This year, the 4th of July is a funeral, the Star Spangled Banner a requiem, the Declaration of Independence a eulogy.

Did everyone else think the coverage of the NHL Entry Draft was an unmitigated disaster?

I love this so much ❤️

I know this probably shouldn't make me laugh uncontrollably but.. this will forever be how I remember felon 47's birthday parade.

If Trump can claim a "national emergency" to disappear legal residents without due process, what’s to stop him from doing the same to U.S. citizens who oppose him?

No one is safe — not even people legally in the country, possibly not even American citizens.

Fascism is here.

If he wants to arrest people for being "incompetent," then I'm pretty sure that should start in D.C.

I am in downtown Los Angeles right now and it is completely surreal to hear that Trump is sending Marines here. We are listening to mariachi music. People have dogs. There are teenagers here. It is utterly and completely peaceful. Please tell your friends.

In the midst of deploying the military against their own citizens, felon 47's cronyism is still taking its toll in other areas. What a fucking shit show.
