  I imagine that what's being said about the current Trump administration is largely what was said by Germans when the Nazis started taking over I imagine if you asked Germans at that time whether their country was in the middle of being taken over they would say no The first death camp was 8 yrs in, recall.

  The far-right oligarchs busy saying there's an evil left-wing global reset underway when they are busy resetting everyone to be their wage slaves. As usual, every accusation is a confession with them.

  Republicans say that immigrants are taking American jobs but they (and industry) introduced the cheap labour to union bust in the 70s (and have continued since then). Once more Republicans destroy everything they touch because they serve the oligarchs. (Also they are child predators but that's separate from union busting.) Good podcast about unions getting busted in the 70s and 80s and on. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/22/podcasts/the-daily/trump-housing-immigrants.html

  When you deposit money in your bank account it actually then becomes the bank's money, and they simply owe you the money back pursuant to a really crappy loan agreement which pays you basically no interest. Enjoy your evening!

  A reminder, one of his past videos showed Biden tied up in the back of a truck. Fascists can't take power without actually conveying this to their base so they need to actually say these things. it cannot be completely hidden by its nature.

  On Hitler, Trump, and Incompetence, and Laziness ... Do tell me more "So it's worth remembering that Hitler was actually an incompetent, lazy egomaniac and his government was an absolute clown show. In fact, this may even have helped his rise to power, as he was consistently underestimated by the German elite." https://www.newsweek.com/hitler-incompetent-lazy-nazi-government-clown-show-opinion-1408136 #Hitler #Trump #HistoryRepeating

  "If you call everybody a Nazi then you won't have any words to use when the real Nazis show up" sounds an awful lot like something a Nazi would say to take the heat off Nazis.

  What fresh hell is this that my Android just turned on "contextual suggestions" where it apparently uses "AI" to give me suggestions like a playlist at the gym (Google's example). I don't need those suggestions. And I definitely do not need to share location for this trash. Thank you Google. Continue being bad.

  The United States debt is now going to cost the United States $2 trillion more this year. People want more interest when they buy United States bonds because they do not feel the United States is a stable place to put their money. Not that I think Trump found any savings at all from slashing and burning the United States government but, even if he did, they are now wiped out. _Surging 30-year Treasury yields push federal debt expenses up by a projected $2 trillion_ https://www.msn.com/en-us/m...

  Trump dismantling the media thread 🧵 (Now kind of a Karoline Leavitt thread) They will be starting with people whose names begin with "Goebbels" "The big picture: Leavitt said the new Trump White House would prioritize nontraditional media outlets in the media briefing room. These "new media" outlets — like podcasters, independent journalists and social media influencers — will now be able to apply for White House press credentials." https://www.axios.com/2025/0...

  ... The best analogy to the COVID outbreak is the H2N2 Asian flu pandemic that swept around the world in the fall of 1957. Asian flu caused more disease and a much higher death rate, especially in younger people, than COVID. Asian flu killed between one million and two million people in a matter of a few months in a world population one-third the size of today's. That's the equivalent of three million to six million deaths today, many more than from COVID. ...

  I listen to a lot of different news and the only news service in which the announcers say their names in a sing song style is Fox News. Actual question, what is this about? Why do they do this? Is this appealing to conservatives? . (Edit: I should mention that I listen to Fox just to monitor what the propaganda outlet is reporting on or not reporting on. Yes, they skew very positive for Trump as compared to other news outlets.)

  Wet bulb temperature "A wet-bulb temperature above 90 degrees Fahrenheit or 32 degrees Celsius is the limit for humans to perform outdoor activities. Humans cannot survive for more than a few hours beyond 90 degrees Fahrenheit wet-bulb temperatures, even with unlimited water and shade. And yet, climate change has already caused some areas of the earth, in the Persian Gulf and Pakistan, to cross above 95 wet-bulb degrees."

  Trump and fascism thread 🧵 "Fascism uses propaganda as a way of mobilizing a population behind the leader. Fascist propaganda creates an awesome sense of loss, and a desire for revenge against those who are responsible.

  "Hantavirus is usually caught through contact with urine or faeces from infected rodents, but in rare cases can spread between people. It can lead to severe respiratory illness." Spread between people eh? And it can lead to respiratory illness, so maybe in through the lungs? https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/may/03/three-passengers-dead-after-suspected-hantavirus-outbreak-on-cruise-ship
