I have a Phd in Celtic studies from the University of Glasgow, Scotland. Live and work in Iceland. A massive nerd. Love reading, baking-cooking, and watching films. I am absolutely hooked on Korean dramas and Hindi language films.
The craziest part about No Kings Day being the largest single day protest is that every prior mass protest in recent history happened during Trump except two, and those ones happened during Nixon and Reagan 😃😃
Don't erase History...
I suspect this slogan would not have been tremendously popular:
"Trump 2024: Your kids are going to get fewer toys and the ones they do get will cost more"
Bard in the Botanics includes 'Sherlock Holmes: A Scandal in Bohemia' in its popular programme of plays this summer.

"They want obedient workers. People who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork and just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly shittier jobs with the lower pay the longer hours the reduced benefits the end of overtime and the vanishing pension" ~George Carlin
Absolutely brutal.
The federal government plans to eliminate services for LGBTQ youth who call 988, the national suicide and crisis hotline, according to a Health and Human Services budget draft leaked last week.
this is just horrifying
"If you're healthy" it's almost impossible to die of an infectious disease? I suppose that's technically correct, however if you contract an infectious disease then you automatically stop being healthy and then you may die.
This is what those in the trade refer to as an "illness"
Harvard University: “We have informed the [Trump Administration] through our legal counsel that we will not accept their proposed agreement. The University will not surrender its independence or relinquish its constitutional rights.”

Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.
From the producers of “Honey, I shrunk the economy” and “Throw Medicaid from the train”…
Brace yourself for their next horror reboot…
“Black Monday: The Fuckening”
Releases tomorrow nationwide.
He could suspend all his tariffs tonight and the markets would still puke tomorrow.
Economists think he’s certifiably crazy. Investors are freaked out.
The markets have decided they’re dealing with a madman…they’re less likely to react positively to his bullshit deal-making.
you, a rube: “i want my kid to grow up to be a doctor or an engineer or a teacher”
lutnick, a genius: “to make america great again your child will make iphones that they will not be able to afford”
If you think this can’t happen, remember that of the 125,000 Japanese Americans who were interned during WWII for years without charge or trial, two-thirds were U.S. citizens. Including me.
The man who thought transgenic mice were transgender and that injecting bleach was a good idea ‘does’ economics.
What could possibly go wrong?
“There is no such thing as an ‘illegal immigrant’”
My myth-busting piece for The Guardian today arguing that it is factually inaccurate & totally, utterly wrong to say that undocumented people are ‘illegal’ & are automatically ‘criminals’.
I bring receipts:
Americans will destroy themselves with an unnecessary trade war and a potential depression because they can't stand seeing people of color and women moving up a bit and getting a small piece of the pie.
Same as it ever was.
Remembering Val Kilmer in Real Genius (1985). Somehow laser science got an astonishingly accurate pop culture movie. It didn’t have to accurately depict building and troubleshooting excimer lasers and yet somehow it did.
Cory Booker. 👇👇👇
Senator Cory Booker has now broken the record for the longest Senate Floor speech, previously held by Strom Thurmond (24 hours 18 minutes).
If I was a judge and a DOJ lawyer filed a brief saying "yes, we mistakenly shipped someone with a right to be here to a foreign gulag but you have no power to order us to bring him back" I'd put that lawyer in jail until that person was brought back.

This is what happens in dictatorships. Lawyers, judges, and the rest of us have to stand up. We know universities won't.

“The Food and Drug Administration’s top vaccine official, Dr. Peter Marks, abruptly resigned Friday, saying in a searing letter that Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s aggressive stance on vaccines was irresponsible and posed a danger to the public.”
NEW: @motherjones.com reports that one of the men renditioned to El Salvador is Neri Alvarado, who was working in Dallas as a baker. An ICE agent told him they were questioning all men with tattoos.
Neri has an AUTISM AWARENESS TATTOO in honor of his 15-year-old brother with autism.
