Today is June 9th, and I'm busy swapping out 2024 file folders with 2025 replacements.
Right on time.

"obliterated"
This man is a jackass, & if you believe what he says you're a jackass, too.
I'm in LA & things are peaceful here. There have been understandable protests against illegal operations by immigration enforcement that take up all of about 2 blocks of city space.

Cosmos Were Flowing (and So Were the Easter Eggs) at the And Just Like That Season 3 Bash A chorus line of Hot Fellas and a Vivienne Westwood dress SJP had been saving—last night’s party was one big wink to the show’s superfans.s

Ok, I didn't make the cover, but I did get my picture in VOGUE!

Some coverage of our swanky party celebrating Season 3 of "And Just Like That," coming your way May 29th.

It was, shall we say, Fashion Forward.

It really is all going great, as long as you lie and pretend about everything.

That's the bargain, I guess.

“I think we have a deal with Russia,” Trump told reporters at the White House

The “deal” is that Putin gets to murder, kidnap, and steal whoever & whatever he wants.

Who wouldn’t agree?

Details Hegseth Shared on Signal Came From a Secure Site Information about U.S. strikes in Yemen that the defense secretary put in two group chats came from Central Command, according to two people familiar with the chats.

Remarkable, yet predictable, trajectory.

1 Awful human appointed to post for which he's completely inappropriate
2 MAGA says he's great
3 Every misdeed declared a lie
4 "You'll never drive him out"
5 He'll resign/be fired
6 It was all a lefty witch hunt

Just watch it happen in comments on Twitter

A li'l somethin' that's comin' up soon...

Weird way to say I caved under pressure

I'm not sure making outrageous threats, then backing off them in the last minute (over and over again), is really the show of strength some people continue to think it is.

But it sure can make people who know what's coming a lot of money really fast...while 100s of millions of others can't.

How to Think (and Act) Like a Dissident Movement AOC, solidarity, and people power.

This is the best guidance I've seen so far.

"The goal should be a day when 2 million people show up in either New York or Washington and demonstrate that there is an unprecedented mass movement opposing the authoritarians running the federal government."

Chief Justice John Roberts pauses order for Trump admin to pay $2 billion in foreign aid by midnight | CNN Politics Chief Justice John Roberts on Wednesday paused a court-imposed midnight deadline that would have required the Trump administration to release $2 billion in frozen foreign aid, a goal that the governme...

Let this b a lesson 2 all those asinine enuf to publish pieces abt the inevitable "showdown" between Trump & Roberts.
Conservatives on SCOTUS have NO moral bearings & feel NO obligation 2 the constitution they swore 2 uphold.
They r theocratic/corporatist authoritarians.

They don't want a perm. govt shutdown.
They want a complete govt takeover...by corporate titans.
When massive profits aren't enough, they go to space.
When launching spaceships/traveling to space isn't enough, they want to rule the world.
The entire nation will be enslaved to Musk/Bezos, et al.

Gee, I wonder where he learned all this from?

Nice!

Welcome to the new USA.

Less services, less assistance, less everything other than anger and bigotry.

And you let me know if/when you have lower taxes to show for it.

WHAT CAN WE DO??

Well, this is what I did along w/about 350 others today in North Hollywood, CA.

If you join, next time there might be 3500.
And then 35,000.
And then...

Yeah, this is pretty obvious but worth stressing.

Also, the idea that techbro coders with no experience in government are best able to identify and root out “fraud” is laughable

Interview w/Anthony Romero, A.C.L.U.’s executive director, in The New Yorker.

Yes, BUT...the courts are influenced (quite a bit) by 200,000 people in the town square.

Bob Dylan being talked about a lot, with the big film being out, and I find myself wondering if he ever misses shopping for his own prescription medications at places like CVS.

Fame can be so isolating.

CDC 'disease detectors' among hundreds fired as Trump administration ramps up agency cuts Administration officials last week informed CDC leaders of plans to cut up to 10% of its workforce as it targeted federal probationary employees.

New: Last night, hundreds of CDC post-doc fellows were fired, including all in the group who call themselves the "disease detectors," and are the future of public health lab leaders. One senior official told me, "It is going to cripple public health for decades."

How about you make a point, instead of just critiquing mine?
Are you in favor of what's happening in the US?
If so, fuck all the way off.
If not, what are you advocating?
Just go along, cuz there's no hope?

And, to answer your question, Tiananmen Sq showed the world clearly what was happening.

This is sad.

The answer to this concern is, "Let them do it."

You think the solution is to just hide instead?
As if then everything will eventually somehow be okay?

Accelerate the process.
Let's get on with it.

What can I do???

Hey LA, here are two things you can do TOMORROW!

(I went to a protest when Bannon was appointed in 2016. It felt sad a futile, w/less than 200 present.
But, eventually, he went to prison. So...)

See a pattern?
So do they! No one turned out!
The only thing that will make them stop, is people making them stop.
Like the guy in the picture.
Are you up for it?

Things that might not have happened if masses had gathered to make it known they wouldn't accept it:
George W. Bush being awarded the presidency by SCOTUS
Barack Obama being denied a SCOTUS nomination
Roe v. Wade overturned
SCOTUS declaring presidents immune from prosecution for criminal acts
