“Her supervisor calls her ‘resistant to authority’ which is a fascinating thing to call a woman who found 36 victims of a sex trafficker.“

This was covered in the Feb 6th episode of @openargs.bsky.social.

It is STUH-NING.

The last time he started talking like this, his allies minimized the risks and we ended up with January 6. This time we must take him literally and seriously. These comments are a five-alarm fire for democracy. In a functioning republic, he would be impeached and removed from office today.

US citizen volunteers who are putting themselves out there as observers need to be aware that ICE does have statutory authority to arrest anyone for any federal crime if they witness you doing it. They also believe that 18 USC 111 makes it a crime to look at them funny, so you can do the math there

Left hand on the ground trying not to hit the pavement; right hand still holding a cell phone. ICE person standing with a one handed grip pointing his gun right at the man’s head.

There is nothing about this that we should accept. We all must reject this. This is our government, & they want this

The agency we all just watched murder a US citizen with impunity is on the verge of being rewarded by having their budget quadrupled within the next three years.

July was the best time to stop this. Today is the next best time.

Churchill and FDR were independently among the earliest and most outspoken opponents of the Nazis in each of their countries well before either of them were heads of state, for one simple reason:

Venezuelan opposition figure María Corina Machado told Sean Hannity that she hadn't spoken to Trump since Oct. 10, when she won the Nobel Peace Prize he coveted.

So she made her pitch to him to lead Venezuela on Fox News. www.mediamatters.org/sean-hannity...

So, something we got into a bit for the space book is the idea of resources as the source of wealth, because (a) it's widely believed, and (b) it's a claim used to justify all sorts of outlandish space ideas.

The short version is that resources are a teeny tiny fraction of wealth.
