I think "sensible" Republicans understand that game. The Stephen Miller wing, I'm not so sure

Like, this is essentially the existing system. The Miller contingent, though, is disgusted by the very existence of immigrants. They want purity. They want a purge, at any cost.


The censorship begins: According to officials, the Trump administration is instructing health agencies including the CDC, FDA, NIH, and HHS to pause all external communications, such as health advisories, weekly scientific reports, updates to websites and social media posts.

Asking health agencies to pause all external communications is NOT typical protocol for administration changes. Generally website updates, disease case counts, and other typical day-to-day work continues.

in reply to Dr. Lucky Tran

In their first term, the Trump administration instructed agencies overseeing environmental policy, such as the EPA, and the Agriculture and Interior departments to cease communicating with the public. In their second term, they appear to be targeting health agencies too.

A few good things today:

I have never been more excited about the future of Nantucket E-Books. I will be releasing Version 5 in the spring.

and...

After missing an opportunity some years ago, I finally have a Patrick Nagel poster to hang on my wall.



So I wanna start a thing. I call it #NoonScrolling.

In your time zone between the hours of noon and 5 PM, find only the best, funniest, lighthearted articles, videos of sneezing cats or whatever ridiculous thing cheers you up a little.
Gloom scrolling and doom scrolling is all we seem to be able to do lately, and it's not good for our psyche, so time to change up the narrative I say.

Leave the extremely ill-mannered manchild behind, leave politics behind, leave the wars behind, just for a little while, and since it's gotta be noon hours somewhere in the world, if it kicks off, this hash-tag could be something like a glorified happy RSS feed you don't have to look too hard to find.
My hope is, that it brings you some enjoyment.
I can't start with my first article yet because it's 04:37 as I post this.

The other, darker side of my idea is just one character different, and that's #MoonScrolling.
The darker, less savory side of life.

I've no idea if this is silly or not, you decide.

@saltphoenix I would ttoo, I've just opened a search for the former anyway, hoping someone will start to populate it in-time. Excited to see if it takes off at all.

Oh, I think a lot of people realize that this will impact a lot of people. What I *don't* think they realize is, it is going to wreak havoc on the services they enjoy and depend on.

It's not going to be everything all at once every day, but it will be an inconvenience at first and them-- maybe slowly, or maybe very quickly-- a crisis.

Will it be a come to Jesus moment? It's our job to make it one. Will it be a blame the [internal enemy] moment? It's our job to make sure it isn't.

Trumo is a vehicle for destruction. He aims to collide with things, and sometimes deigns to profit upon one of the pieces.
Do not follow him or you may be hit with shards.


If you think you can slay the beast of #hypercapitalism from inside the beast's stomach, then good luck with your #activism. I will do something positive and uplifting till the end of days, rather than engage in a lost fight.

We might do something else, and try activate 7 billion people to collaborate a tad more productively, for instance. Not *within* a system that is designed to not let that happen at all cost, though.

But first, let's not rhyme with history, please.
Can #mankind even learn?

Attacking DEI is extremely short-sighted. DEI promotes the most capable people, regardless of gender ethnicity etc. we are stronger when everyone has a voice, and it's heard.

We are going to end up being governed by a bunch of white male Muppets.
