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

I know it's probably the least awful bit about #Trump now being President, but the fact he'll be President for the US Semiquincentennial in 2026 guarantees non-stop heartburn in my sensibilities as a patriot and historian. I guarantee it's going to be a madhouse of self-serving hyper-nationalism, all of it centered on the #DearLeader and his #MAGA cronies.

Ugh.

#Trump personally sends #ElonMusk into space to rescue astronauts #Biden and #NASA abandoned there.

Or at least that's today's Hollywood blockbuster-style chunk of falsehood from the #WhiteHouse

I'm aghast at the #Trump proto-ban on #trans folk in the #military. Last time he lied about the costs. Now it's a more fundamental attack:

1. That #transgender stuff? Not true.

2. So trans troops are lying, not being "honorable, truthful and disciplined."

3. So requesting others respect their identity is asking folk to lie, thus not showing "humility and selflessness."

So trans folk must be kicked out, probably dishonorably, because they are, QED, evil, corrupting liars.

Jesus.

#Trump issues EO stop federal support of any #gender #transitioning for those under age 19, and threatens federal litigation to prevent it, period. Any university, hospital, or medical group that gets any federal funding can and will be targeted here.

Why age 19 when age of consent / adulthood is 18? Because it sets a precedent for banning transition care all for adults, eventually.

Dark times for #trans folk and the friends and family who love them.

Having (a) exerted enough soft pressure to get a lot of companies to voluntarily drop their #DEI programs (or any semblance thereof), and (b) taken over the federal government and banned DEI there, the #GOP is now (c) threatening legal action against companies that have not complied with their demands to stop recognizing that historic and systemic #bias and #prejudice continue to interfere with their newly-sanctified worship of "merit."

Hope #Costco hangs in there.

Views expressed by others are, well, theirs. I reserve the right to delete them, but it’s usually better to let the marketplace of ideas hold sway, even if some packages are long past their expiry date.

Stuff I link to? Sometimes it’s because I agree with it. Sometimes because I disagree with it, but want to point (mockingly, in some cases) to my sources regardless; I have a liberal arts background; I believe in citations. And linking to stuff is what the Internet is about.
