As a member of the choir, while I know he's lying, it's helpful to know exactly what he's lying about. It does grow very tiring figuring out exactly why I shouldn't believe him

Conspiracists are about to get a dose of reality Antivaxers, cranks and fantasists thrive in safe, stable societies but the days of consequence-free idiocy may be ending

@hcrichardson.bsky.social mentioned this column recently. Basically, people are too young to remember true fascism and diseases largely eliminated by immunizations. www.thetimes.com/comment/colu...

CBS News poll — Trump has positive approval amid "energetic" opening weeks; seen as doing what he promised Trump's deportation plans are popular, but Americans say there's not enough focus on lowering prices.

I don't approve of virtually everything the new American regime has done and I can't tell if the other side likes or even understands what's happening.

Any good suggestions for learning what they're thinking or feeling? My silos are of little help

Excellent editorial summing it all up. Meanwhile, the Times is actively fanning the flames by reporting lots on every little thing Trump does and not bothering to separate the deeply illegal from the nearly crazy
