A social media post from Donald J. Trump on Truth Social, posted 9 minutes ago. The text reads: "Iran tried to interfere in 2020, 2024 elections to stop Trump, and now faces renewed war with United States:" followed by a link to justthenews.com. Below is a link preview showing the article headline "Iran tried to interfere in 2020, 2024 elections to stop Trump, and now faces possible war with U.S." accompanied by a photo from what appears to be an Iranian protest or rally, showing demonstrators holding anti-Trump signs and posters with Persian text.

I am going to need every single person who said that misinformation was a moral panic to feel enough shame and regret that they leave public intellectual life.

I even called to make a colonoscopy appointment after weeks of avoidance only to learn they have not opened the schedule. SHUCKS!

It's remarkable how much energy I have to get through my backlog of admin/medical things when I'm not trying to keep another person out of crisis also. There is a frog in boiling water sort of dynamic when you avoid confronting the reality of caretaking for everyone involved.

Would love to hear and see what Dan Ryan's reaction to this is given his management of said bureau and seeming buddy buddy relationship to this particular organization

IMHO, it is important that Woke 2 be deemed "excessive" by historians, "sweeping too broadly" with "punishments too severe." It cannot be merely a course correction, it must be an overcorrection. Nothing less will serve as an adequate deterrent against the fascists and their collaborators.

Fascists don’t need us to agree with them. They just need us to believe they can’t be stopped.

Never forget that cynicism can quickly be contorted into complicity.

Re #1, also the "org" names, to some extent. Saves a lot of wasted energy and risk sometimes.

I imagine the high vaccination and treatment use rate by such figures is a decent proxy indicator

I suppose it would not be the US government if they did not constantly insert their narratives about how to run a government into every international issue
