Epstein Is Only the Tip of the Iceberg: The Trump Protection Machine and the Epidemic of Violence Against Women On July 2, the jury delivered a guilty verdict on some of the charges against music mogul Sean Combs for his decades of horrific sexual abuse of women with the help of his extensive staff and deep poc...

"One of the reasons the epidemic of violence against women is so unacknowledged is because cases like these are talked about individually, and often treated as though they are shocking aberrations rather than part of a pervasive pattern that operates at all levels of society."

Makes me wonder if Johnson is on the list.

Lies, damn lies, and propaganda.

I always saw Newsom as an opportunist, but I never expected him to be a collaborator. (So far our governor Tina Kotek seems to be a wimp. I’m not sure whether that’s better or worse than collaborator.)

Mammonite. One devoted to the service of Mammon, or the acquisition of wealth. First attested from 1855. I think we need to bring it back into use.

It won’t be long until the not-as-obscenely rich who have lost everything start jumping out of the Overton Window.

I ran across an interesting document. These parts seem especially relevant:

Millions Stood Up: April 5 Hands Off Day of Action I was the closing speaker at the ebullient San Francisco Hands Off rally, and when I got home later I scoured the news for  reports on the more than one thousand other rallies. Of course people would ...

If one of us stands up, they can pick that person off. If ten or a hundred or a thousand, they can pick those people off. And they're picking off people--immigrants, dissidents--to make an example of them. But if ten million people stand up, they cannot stop us all.

“Race does not provide an accurate representation of human biological variation,” the statement reads. “Humans are not divided biologically into distinct continental types or racial genetic clusters. Instead, the Western concept of race must be understood as a classification system that emerged from, and in support of, European colonialism, oppression, and discrimination.” “It thus does not have its roots in biological reality, but in policies of discrimination,” the statement says. “Because of that, over the last five centuries, race has become a social reality that structures societies and how we experience the world. In this regard, race is real, as is racism, and both have real biological consequences.”

Trump's 3/27 executive order targets the Smithsonian for advancing "the view that race is not a biological reality but a social construct."

Trump argues that the exhibit's statement, below, is unscientific. He's wrong. As a biology professor and population geneticist, I agree with every word of it.

The US military base that JD Vance visited in Greenland uses fuel that can only be delivered with the help of Canadian ice breakers.

I noticed he didn't say thank you.

I and the mother of my barn assistant have re-covered a high tunnel greenhouse left by the previous owner, and one of the things she’ll be growing is tomatoes. 🧵

Interesting! It had never occurred to me to graft tomatoes. Are the stocks overwintered or are they this year’s? How big do the scions have to be before they show 2° growth? What constitutes a wild-type? (Charlie Rick was still working at UC Davis when I was a grad student, and I think 🧵

Grafted tomatoes?
