“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book has been rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, every date has been altered…Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”

Hey folks,

Below is a place to submit your photos of Park signs.

Supposedly they’ll be whitewashed by September 17.

So now is a good time to start taking photos.

A deadly shooting at the CDC shook its scientists. Now they want answers from RFK Jr. CDC Director Susan Monarez convened an online all-hands meeting of the agency division that focuses on vaccines, and employees called out Kennedy’s rhetoric specifically.

Exclusive: CDC Director Susan Monarez met with its vaccine-focused center to talk about yesterday’s shooting. I listened to a recording. Scientists and officials are shaken & pointing fingers at RFK Jr. Many said his vilification and misinfo turned them into targets. www.msnbc.com/opinion/anal...

When Michael Jordan felt boxed in by his success in basketball he tried baseball. When Gary Brooks became synonymous with country he created Chris Gaines. And when JK Rowling created the most successful kids books of all time she reinvented herself as a petty, weirdo transphobia influencer.

I'm sure this full moon means something to the people who know such things. It's lovely though

That's it. That's the post.

Trump escapes reality in pursuit of a no-bad-news presidency In Trump's reality, good poll numbers are real (even when he invents them), bad ones are fake.

President Trump is accelerating efforts to banish facts and figures that challenge his narrative of a spotless presidency.

In Trump’s reality, good poll numbers are real, bad ones are fake.

Good job numbers are trumpeted — bad ones are malicious attempts to discredit him.

I agree, and if you start to take care of yourself in your 30s and 40s you can, with limits, debauch into your 50s and 60s

Marine Carbon Dioxide Removal: A Primer

History that lives rent free in my head: In 1942, former presidential candidate Wendell Willkie went on a goodwill mission for FDR; visiting China he and Madame Chiang Kai-shek 'allegedly' had a wild and torrid affair. Historians poo-poo it, but as for me, I prefer to live in hope.

The Confederacy literally left the US. Renounced their citizenship, and went to WAR for the right to own human beings as if they were livestock. Over 600,000 US soldiers died. Weird hill for a VP to die on, until you remember that these people are White Nationalists, so it tracks, I suppose.

It's so very ironic that the party that supposedly holds the Constitution up as 'sacred' and 'unalterable' does so many things orthogonal to it.

A Census isn't something a party in power does willy-nilly to gerimander districts in order to rig elections because your policies are unpopular.

As the ACLU said in a post: The census isn’t only a head count. It's a Constitutional mandate meant to reflect the US as it is – not as some would prefer it to be — it also determines how critical resources are allocated.

Veterans’ Care at Risk Under Trump as Hundreds of Doctors and Nurses Reject Working at VA Hospitals Amid concerns about the stability of the agency, records show nearly 40% of the doctors offered jobs at the VA from January through March of this year turned them down — quadruple the rate of rejectio...

After six years of adding medical staff, the VA this year is down more than 600 doctors and about 1,900 nurses. The number of doctors has declined each month since Pres. Trump took office. The agency lost twice as many nurses as it hired between January and June.

Adolf Hitler used the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin to promote fascism.

I hope the world deprives Donald Trump of that same opportunity 92 years later.

Mamdani on Cuomo "conspiring" with Trump: "It is time for us to make clear that what this city deserves is a mayor who when he sees Donald Trump attacking the people of this city will stand up and fight back against that vision, who will not get on the phone with the architect of that vision."
