sjvn“Historians have a word for Germans who joined the Nazi party, not because they hated Jews, but out of a hope for restored patriotism, or a sense of economic anxiety, or a hope to preserve their religious values, or dislike of their opponents, or raw political opportunism, or convenience, or ignorance, or greed.
That word is 'Nazi.' Nobody cares about their motives anymore."
― A.R. Moxon
Plague PoemsI asked my aunt, the doctor,
about a biologist’s comment
that the recent cancellation
of research-grant reviews
at the NIH
will be “devastating
for the scientific community,”
and my aunt replied
that the biologist
could have just said
this will be devasting
for humanity.

CrimethInc. Ex-WorkersI shall die, but that is all that I shall do for Death;
I am not on his payroll.
I will not tell him the whereabouts of my friends
nor of my enemies either.
Though he promise me much,
I will not map him the route to any man’s door.
Am I a spy in the land of the living,
that I should deliver men to Death?
Brother, the password and the plans of our city
are safe with me; never through me
Shall you be overcome.

Laffy💦This firehose of atrocities from #Trump?
It's intended to instill fear, cowering, compliance, and of course, to desensitize you to all the horrific actions he takes, one after the other.
People tend to forget the onslaught from yesterday after the new firehose blast today.
NEVER allow that. Don't get desensitized. Don't ever normalize this.
Follow the advice of Tim Snyder, Marc Elias, Indivisible, others, to cope and do what YOU can (do a search).
Big hugs to every one of you.
Via Maddow:
do you enjoy knowing that when you deposit money in a US bank, you won't lose that money? nice, right?
it's because bank deposits are insured by FDIC.
i don't know what FDIC ever did to these people, but apparently it too is now on their blow-it-up list: https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2025/01/27/fdic-bank-examiners-job-offers-rescinded/

Charlotte Clymer"In just under two-and-a-half minutes, Bishop Mariann Budde, fully comfortable in her own skin and righteously firm in Christ’s teachings, did more to challenge Trump than the whole of American political media in the past ten weeks."
