#Trump 's siccing #DoJ on "anti-Christian bias" sounds fine, but I expect that translates into dangerous "If Christians (only the right kind of #Christians, mind you) don't get to do whatever they want, regardless of the law, but with your tax dollars, they are being religiously oppressed" nonsense. Or worse.

" #Trump [again] suggests permanent resettlement of #Palestinians from #Gaza "

Pssst. Hey, Donald. The official term is #EthnicCleansing . Yeah, I know, that sounds bad, but, hey, since it's official US policy to keep #Netayahu happy ...

Amidst all the other very legitimate sturm und drang going on, it's good to grab a few moments of happiness.

The first trailer for #Fantastic4 just dropped, and it looks pretty fantastic.

I'm old enough to remember when Obama indirectly naming some "czars" to coordinate activities led to a near-Constitutional crisis with the #GOP about overreach.

Now some guys the President likes can, without any sort of legal authority, go into any government agency they want and do whatever they want there. And anyone there who tries to "resist" will be prosecuted by a supportive US attorney.

This is not an elected government.

Among the other things the @internetarchive does: make archives of government websites at the end of each presidential term.

Hey, remember when we were sending people to prison for violating #classified information laws?

And then #Trump showed that with enough money and a loud enough mouth and a friendly judge you appointed you could get away with screwing around with classified information.

And now government workers are being punished if they *don't* give up classified information to unauthorized Trump / #Musk apparatchiks.

And it's just going to get worse.

"CDC orders mass retraction and revision of submitted research across all science and medicine journals. Banned terms must be scrubbed."

("If we don't officially talk about them, they don't officially exist. If they don't officially exist, then we can ...")

Remember these words. Use them whenever you can. Don't let them, or the people they reference, be forgotten.

Cool collection of #photos, made during the #CivilWar, of the last survivors of the #RevolutionaryWar. All the things they'd seen...

And now the "T" in #LGBT is being erased from federal websites. Because of course it is.

The concern had been, with a hostile administration, protections being taken from #trans folk. Now it seems the idea is to remove that entire identity. To make them unpersons.

This is evil.

Apparently we can only "defend women" by actively stamping out even discussion about transgender folk, let alone acknowledging they exist, let alone respecting them as human beings.

But, then, it's not actually about defending women.

Promoting #despair is a weapon. Persuasion that defeat is inevitable makes it inevitable.

Those are the first opponents to fight against: those who say you should give up, you should tune out, let us have our way.

#Tolkien was pretty clear about that, and about being born into bad times.

Oh, I missed the part where he rambled for several minutes about how #helicopters can go up and down and back and forth and start and stop ... so probably the helicopter pilot was also to blame.

Who needs an #FAA investigation when you have #Trump on the job?

Yeesh.

I know that hoping for sensitivity, compassion, or leadership from #Trump is futile, but I could have gone all year without listening to his first official response to the DC plane crash, which, TL;DR "It's all Obama and Biden and Buttigieg's fault, not mine, because they hired terrible unqualified people under all those horrible #DEI rules, and got rid of all the great people I hired, so blame them, not me."

What an awful little man.
