February 19: A Reminder That None of This Is New

Some of America's most dreadful chapters unfolded on this day, and that trend continues in 2026 I intended to publish this on February 19, but the first day of Ramadan took that slot. Every time injustice rears its head in this country, a familiar refrain from well-meaning Americans emerges: "I

The Pentagon just failed its 8th consecutive audit and still got approved for a $1 TRILLION budget without blinking so I'm gonna need every corrupt hypocritical politician complaining about made up food stamp fraud and forcing drug tests and work requirements on poor people to shut up forever. Thx.

We live in an autocratic oligarchic hellhole. The Pentagon is basically saying that if Anthropic doesn't drop its demands over restricting the use of AI in autonomous drone targeting and surveillance of Americans, it will essentially destroy the company.

Are we great yet? Our children are running terrorized because armed deadly agents of the state are chasing them and terrorizing them. This is modern day slave catcher mentality. This is not freedom.
