A red device the size of an old wired phone handset.  It has light-up round buttons with red lights inside, a speaker angled forward on the top with a logo "MERLIN" and four button console at the bottom with control functions written on silver membranes.

This was one of my most treasured possessions circa 1981. And I wasn't alone, the Merlin handheld electronic game was the top-selling Parker Brothers' toy 1978-1982 (supplanted by "Frogger").

In total, 5 million units were sold.

Why did it take me until this second to realize that the ICE/DHS hiring was also to keep the violent chuds from feeling the effects of this economy and turning against the fascists?

"Once more, let me remind you what fascism is. I need not wear a brown shirt or a green shirt.

Fascism begins the moment a ruling class, fearing the people may use their political democracy to gain economic democracy, begins to destroy political democracy in order to retain its power of exploitation and special privilege."

~ Tommy Douglas

Incredible thread. I thought I remembered this from school but either they skipped a lot or my memory is terrible. Either way, I needed to read about Hugh Thompson. Just stunning.

I liked my Saalt cup, but as my anatomy started to change in perimenopause it became difficult to use—I switched to a disc. I found the Put A Cup In It articles and video reviews VERY helpful.

The most divorced men in history The resentment of women that undergirds so much recklessness.

Taking a break today from posting about concentration-camp matters for the newsletter, I wrote instead about a sociological study that might shed light on the Trump administration's reckless violence and the loyalty of his most diehard supporters.

Communities are being forced to set up local non profits and Go Fund Me accounts to help people meet their basic needs while our country uses tax dollars to go into another stupid war.

War With Iran Would Be Illegal and Stupid. Democrats Should Care. Now is the time for Democratic leaders to stand firm against the risk of a catastrophic conflict.

An unpopular president is about to drag the country into an unpopular war. Democratic leader should be out front in opposition, not politely asking for a briefing.

When I say our leaders aren’t helping us, this is what I mean. ICE is showing no signs of leaving but our senator, who is currently running for governor, doesn’t even know that. And she’s doing the administration‘s work for them.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.
