Good morning Bluesky. This is the most corrupt, transactional, and selfish, and need I say it, incestutuous, regime in US history. That is saying a lot. Wow.

The people in Trump’s orbit believe they are special.

That they are exempt from the rules of gravity, the “throw-a-punch-but-can-never-take-a punch“ shitposter mentality & ignominy that govern Trump’s demesne.

They never believe they will be treated as they have treated others.

Same for lawyers, some medial specialities, marketing etc - fields previously thought too specialized. I don’t think they believe the tech is good enough to replace these workers. They believe it no longer matters to making a profit. And they are kind of right in the short term.

I had a long talk with someone yesterday about how all prior logic and norms about the labor market have been called off because capital is in the final push to finally casualize white collar workers the way they’ve long wanted to do. From AI to non-competes to this. They smell blood in the water.

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

Amnesty International, interviewing migrant detainees, identifies use of the confinement box. There can be no denying it is a torture prison
