Here's a controversial take:

When you imply that random well-known Jewish people are baby murderers because they haven't proven to your satisfaction they are against it, you're an anti-semite spreading old-spun propaganda that Jews are baby murderers, whether that's what you mean to do or not. And there's no difference between harassing Jewish people to make them pledge they aren't baby murderers, and harassing Muslim people and making them pledge that they aren't terrorists. Get a grip.

Night before last, the military conducted "training" in Long Beach in the middle of the night, and only sent out a text to warn residents at 10pm. They set off explosions and played with gunfire sounds and invaded a mall.

In September, Trump said he would do this. He said he would do it to prepare for going to war with Blue cities.

And now he has done it. Now he has indicated that war with blue cities is imminent. It's the only conclusion to be drawn, because that's what he said, and (2)

“The salient fact of American politics is that there are fifty to seventy million voters each of whom will volunteer to live, with his family, in a cardboard box under an overpass, and cook sparrows on an old curtain rod, if someone would only guarantee that the black, gay, Hispanic, liberal, whatever, in the next box over doesn’t even have a curtain rod, or a sparrow to put on it.” - Davis X Machina

Don't forget that the 25th Amendment can be executed by Congress too, not only the cabinet. Those in Congress pointing fingers at the cabinet are only abdicating their own duty as always. It's true they need Vance in addition to Congress to invoke the 25th, but all these people are rank cowards who are becoming more afraid of the people than Trump.

If you have Republican senators, you should be calling them.

The fact that he's still in office is all the proof you need that the US's political structures are irreparably broken. Clearly not a single person in Congress has a functioning moral compass.

@qurlyjoe @pluralistic A lot of what happened at Bletchley Park will never be told, because the predominantly-female staff just went back to ordinary jobs or being housewives and took the command of the Official Secrets Act seriously, even 50 years after the event - some have died. Let's not forget that the majority of the early computer pioneers, programmers and mathematicians were women.

They arrested four Black journalists, not two. I was mistaken earlier.

Georgia Fort, Don Lemon, Jamael Lundy, and Trahern Crews.

All Black. All doing their jobs.

Remember, the Holocaust didn’t start with gas chambers in Auschwitz.

It started with politicians dividing the people with “us vs. them”.

It started with intolerance and hate speech.

It started when people stopped caring, became desensitized, and turned a blind eye.

Remember.

Omg any day now computers will be able to add

Lessons, living with parents with dementia: when an app on their phone spontaneously changes it's icon, it's a fucking disaster.

Some Google engineer launched a feature that got them a promotion and now my mom can't use her phone anymore. Silicon Valley is incapable of imagining a user who isn't a 27 year old white man.
