Maybe everyone should ensure that their federal tax withholding = $0 now. The USA government is not doing anything that the vast majority of Americans support, agree with or accept..

And when we they do startup again in the future (???), I have zero interest in funding this fascist regime anyhow.

One person moving in a multi-ton metal box gets $9,000, and one person moving on an efficient micromobility device gets $225. Electric cars do not solve for congestion, storage, sedentary lifestyle, injury/death due to crashes. The battery in ONE gaint electric SUV could power hundreds of e-bikes.

fascism /făsh'iz"am/
noun
1. A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, a capitalist economy subject to stringent governmental controls, violent suppression of the opposition, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism.
2. A political philosophy or movement based on or advocating such a system of government.
3. Oppressive, dictatorial control.
4. A political theory advocating an authoritarian hierarchical government; -- opposed to democracy and liberalism.
5. An authoritarian system of government under absolute control of a single dictator, allowing no political opposition, forcibly suppressing dissent, and rigidly controlling most industrial and economic activities. Such regimes usually try to achieve popularity by a strongly nationalistic appeal, often mixed with racism.
6. Specifically, the Fascist movement led by Benito Mussolini in Italy from 1922 to 1943.
7. Broadly, a tendency toward or support of a strongly authoritarian or dictatorial control of government or other organizations; -- often used pejoratively in this sense.
8. A political regime, having totalitarian aspirations, ideologically based on a relationship between business and the centralized government, business-and-government control of the market place, repression of criticism or opposition, a leader cult and exalting the state and/or religion above individual rights. Originally only applied (usually capitalized) to Benito Mussolini's Italy.

I believe in the not too distant future of an Accountability & Consequences commission that holds all of the fascists & traitors to American democracy to fair trials and judgements for the crimes they commit.

And yes, including the fascist & traitorous billionaires who believe they’re untouchable.

Every leader in America who has not, and is not, taking concrete action - not just saying words - to reduce gun violence is contributing to all gun violence & deaths.

Of course it's generations of failed leadership that have gotten us to this point.

But current leaders MUST LEAD NOW!

"Harvard can't use race as a factor in admissions, but ICE can use race as a factor in detentions" is a retrenchment essentially to a pre-Civil War understanding of the Constitution. It's vanishingly few steps removed from "Latinos have no rights which the white man is bound to respect."

Florida Decided There Were Too Many Children The state’s elimination of vaccine mandates is a courageous first step toward decluttering itself of any excess kids.

Well, in the short term W’bal is fairly useful…but something like 3 hours of sustained high tempo (but below FTP) , or 2 hours with repeated 30s AC efforts & 3 min VO2 efforts with full W’ recovery would not describe the decrements in power output that would occur after those preloads.

The intensity of the pre-load, and the density of that work performed relative to time until subsequent efforts, matters the most to later work capacity.

β€œKennedy would be less hazardous if he decided to do cardiac surgery. Then he would kill people only one at a time rather than his current ability to kill by the thousands. Why is it that killing a single person is seen as murder but killing masses is excused if you are a politician?”

If I cared to listen to anything that a convicted criminal and known perjurer said then I would also care to listen to whatever the convicted felon in the White House says.

But I’m not stupid like the American media wants me to be.

And I’m not in a cult like a hundred million Americans are.

I left Twitter a year+ ago because I couldn’t tolerate supporting its owner’s desire to let it become a cesspool of racism, fascism and lies.

I do miss the flow of realtime news & information, relevant sports info, and connection with the sports science community that I had there.

When a Dem state lawmaker and spouse were murdered, it didn’t require a federal occupation to find the guy and charge him.
