Opinion | History Shows Trump’s Worst Impulses May Backfire on Him

Just saw this, gift article:
If she's right, we're in for a rough ride short term, but trying to nationalize the elections? Nope. There will be some who try to go along, for sure, but it's too much too fast, even for him. We've all got to become Minnesota now, and get in his way every which-away.

I want to reiterate that this shit is nuts. A federal invasion of state-run elections, an intelligence community invasion of federal law enforcement, a White House invasion of a criminal investigation, and a president’s insane treasonable sore loser obsession all rolled up and muddled together.

Watching commentators still refusing to see the white nationalism of this administration and arguingTrump is targeting Atlanta, Philadelphia and Detroit because they are blue cities is just, it’s got to be intentional at this point. There are a ton of blue cities. These are majority Black cities.

The authors claim that "civilization" needs stable property titles--but do not afford Indigenous people the same right to their property (let alone the label "civilized").
In other words, white property must be preserved, while Indigenous property is available for seizure 2/

This article is either maliciously stupid or stupidly malicious. The authors do not (and cannot) deny the reality of Indigenous dispossession in North America--so they resort to claiming that it is too late and too complicated to address the issue. 1/

I used to have a widget on the today screen on iPhone that showed the busses/trains coming to the nearest station. It was pretty helpful and it’s not there now. I didn’t set it up myself because… anyone know what I’m talking about & how to get it back?

Today we remember Alice Ball, an African American chemist who developed the 1st effective treatment for leprosy prior to antibiotics. After Ball died at 24, a male colleague stole her research. Ball was not recognized until a historian found her original thesis. Feb 28 is Alice Augusta Ball Day

The Trump regime is plotting to convert commercial warehouses to massive ICE detention centers.
Private prison corporations, who just so happened to donate to Trump, are already raking in billions.
How many more private companies are going to cash in on this cruelty?

From the famously "woke" Cato Institute: immigrants pay far more in taxes then they receive in benefits.

The US immigrant population generated more in taxes than they received in benefits from all levels of government every year from 1994 to 2023.

When I was doing research in South Texas on enslaved African Americans who self emancipated to Mexico (aka the "Underground Railroad to Mexico") I was stopped repeatedly by the Border Patrol. Almost all of the agents were young Latinos from the Rio Grande valley.

ICE isn’t really running the camps. It’s contracted out.
The GEO Group, CoreCivic, and Palantir
ALL OF THEM ARE PUBLICLY TRADED
GEO Group = GEO
CoreCivic = CXW
Palantir = PLTR
Like everything else in the USA, you gotta hit them in the packet book.

"Defending the nation will take more than sycophancy, slurs, and slop."
The 2026 National Defense Strategy “appears to have been drafted not by serious people but by Pentagon officials eager to curry favor with an imperious president and terrified of getting their talking points wrong,” Eliot Cohen argues.
Whatever This Is, It Is Not Strategy

DHS says ICE agents need to wear face masks because doxxing is happening and assaults are spiking. But, according to their press releases, no agent has been doxxed and assaulted since Trump came back to the White House.
ICE’s excuse for wearing masks has never actually manifested
There have been incidents of harassment and threats. But there are no apparent incidents in which identified ICE officers have been assaulted off-duty.
