Human experimentation and a likely war crime rolled into one.

This isn't the only election Meta is screwing with. They've interfered with Brazil's election, too.

Leave all Meta products. Stop feeding the fascist machine.

Leave all Meta products. No Threads, no Facebook, no Instagram, no Whatsapp.

Meta is a fascist tool all the way through.

Not crazy about how he handled this and yet none of us want to hear any more of corrupt Collins' "deeply concerned" bullshit.

Unsurprising that this happened in west Michigan. Too many Christian fundie white supremacist types though parts are slowly beginning to shift blue.

I continue to be disappointed by obituaries each day. This one is a bit late.

Yes. I've used LibreOffice for years now and I'll keep using it going forward.

2/2 Governance is how a group of people administer shared resources to meet their needs. The absence of government is the absence of cooperation, and/or collaboration, and/or administration. The lack of governance is every person for themselves; there is no state.

I do not subscribe to anarchism. It does not construct an alternative to a toxic system of governance; it advocates against any governance because governance is the state. 1/2

Anybody else thinking Hegseth is worried about a mutiny?

Ugh. I should be used to this having blogged since 2002.

But I just published my first post on Medium. I hate that I felt compelled to respond to a [insert expletives] because of my anger at their ignorance.

Because they were campaign donations, these quid pro quos are NOT part of Trump's official duties as POTUS and are not immune from prosecution.

Add this to Trump's insanely long list of corrupt acts.

Okay, color me shocked because NYT and WaPo have been such kiss-asses wrt Trump.

Now if they stopped publishing ANY photos of POTUS/White House events until CNN+MSNOW+Politico have their access to the White House restored, I will be impressed. But I still think they will cave.

This is another classic NYT headline.

Should have read, "Trump Looks Like a Fucking Moron on Interest Rates."

The lead story broadcast tonight on CBS Evening news?

Not the doubling of heating oil prices.
Not Rep. Massie's Hegseth impeachment bill.
Not follow up on a host of Trump corruption stories, efforts to suppress the vote, or abuses of public edifices like the Kennedy Center.

Nope. They're talking about the mistrial of a woman who had a psychotic break and killed her kids.

This is Missing White Girl, 2026 edition—the means by which the Ellison-owned CBS avoids covering the failed Trump regime.
