My four kitties have cat trees and beds, but they prefer to sleep on boxes. 🙄

When I hear about the coup attempt in Germany & the desire of these violent extremists to insert Prince Heinrich XIII of Reuss as the leader after a planned execution of the German chancellor, it sounds ludicrous, laughable. But that's the thing: These people are deadly serious.

Because the plots of these anti-democratic extremists often seem so ludicrous, they can succeed because the public--& too many leaders--don't take them seriously enough. This tendency is how Trump got as far as he did.

Today is Pearl Harbor Day in the U.S., a “day that will live in infamy” for the unprovoked attack by the Empire of Japan upon U.S. forces stationed in Hawaii. But it also marked a dark turning point for Japanese Americans, who overnight became the “enemy.” (1/4)
NEW: Florida State Representative Joseph Harding, the Republican who introduced the 'Don't Say Gay' bill, has been criminally indicted by the Justice Department for wire fraud, money laundering, and making false statements.

Reminder to anyone who supports the NYT staff's labor action: unless a miracle happens and we get a contract deal by midnight, we will be walking out for one day tomorrow, Dec. 8.

We'll be asking supportive readers to abstain from visiting/using NYT offerings for the day, midnight to midnight. That means articles. That means multimedia. That means... Wordle.

I know. That one pains me too. But maybe the word will be like LYMPH and we'll all be lucky to miss it.

Ginni Thomas was involved in efforts to overturn the 2020 election using the independent state legislature theory—central to a SCOTUS case that could let extremist state legislatures pick the president.

Clarence Thomas heard the case today and—you guessed it—endorsed the theory.

NY Times newsroom workers will stage a 24-hr walkout on Thursday, Dec 8th.

Please stand in solidarity by participating in a one-day "no NYT" digital walkout Dec 8th.

This means not engaging w/any NYT platforms on Dec 8th, not logging in, and not purchasing, clicking, or reading content.

Including but not limited to:

-Website + any links from it
-All sections of the NYT
-Wordle, Crossword, Spelling Bee & any NYT online games
-Wirecutter, The Athletic

Just one day. Support NYT workers.

Misogyny is a supremacist ideology.

As with all supremacist ideologies, its foundation is strict division: There are some to whom power inheres, & some who are by nature lesser-than & must be dominated. Rejection of the premise threatens the whole & requires strict policing.

It's almost as though oligarchs having unilateral control over our most vital means of communication is not such a great thing after all…
