again we do not really do a good job of explaining how wealthy people like Jeff Bezos are
his net worth is $253.2 billion.
so he could take one million dollars, and just light it on fire
and then do it again tomorrow
and again the day after that
and then do it every day for 693 years and 8 months
his net worth is $253.2 billion.

Bovino's leaving? Great, get Noem to resign.
Noem resigns? Great, defund and dismantle ICE.
Go after Stephen Miller too. Bring charges against ICE thugs at the state and local level. Lawsuits. New state laws restricting them.
Every possible angle.

The entire point of the Bill of Rights is so we don’t HAVE to spend our time yelling at electeds about stopping torture or secret police or kidnapping a fucking five-year-old. This is as straightforward a question as it gets.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

Police kill about a thousand people in the US every year. EVERY YEAR.
Someone on the BBC just asked, “how could this happen in the United States?”
And the answer is…easily.

I’m sick to my stomach over these efforts to eradicate trans kids. Make no mistake, the goal is to stamp a group of people out of existence. It’s horrifying and violent and a bunch of Democrats support it.

As an archivist, this keeps me up.
LINK ROT: 38% webpages that existed in 2013 were no longer available 10 years later.
Even among pages that existed in 2021, 22% no longer accessible just two years later. This is often because individual page was deleted or removed on otherwise functional website.
Many implications for knowledge 🧪

I have written and deleted a lot of posts but I keep thinking about how the brutal assassination of Minnesota State senator Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark, and their beloved dog Gilbert in June did not prompt this same level of calls for empathy, sympathy, and flags at half-mast.

Y’all don’t hate white supremacy enough for me.
You’ll befriend it, have beers with it, even call it a difference of opinion…you’ll do everything but eradicate it.
White supremacy is not a stance. It is not a position. It is poison. And you’d rather be sick than keep your Black friends safe.

![Genocide justification is the claim that a genocide is morally excusable/defensible, necessary, and/or sanctioned by law.[1] Genocide justification differs from genocide denial, which is an attempt to reject the occurrence of genocide. Perpetrators often claim that genocide victims presented a serious threat, justifying their actions by stating it was legitimate self-defense of a nation or state. According to modern international criminal law, there can be no excuse for genocide.[2][3] Genocide is often camouflaged as military activity against combatants, and the distinction between denial and justification is often blurred.[4]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:j76trmiofvaxxpvx2vnb2vwf/bafkreia4twc2qbwkmn3ozstknikbeo5xx56elnzdkycdjkzfkwehmvk4jq@jpeg)
