no charges to ICE or Bondi for the extrajudicial kidnapping and international traffiking, of course

It’s projection. ICE extrajudicially kidnapped and traifficked Kilmar under the orders of Pam and the rapist. Justice would be arresting and indicting Pam and the rapist and de-ICEing

Yikes yep that would be something worth trying to distract people from. Also, I did giggle at the comment with djt being in the Regina George burn book. I’m sure he doesn’t know if butter is a carb.

My first thought: This is theater. My second thought: Doesn’t change a thing. Fuck em both before, fuck em both now. Focus on the fascist govt giving all of our data to Palantir so that they can create a database to track all US residents and deport whoever they want whenever they want wherever they want.

It was a post-doc student who wanted to continue his research at UMich on the fungus to develop ways to prevent blight. His peer-reviewed published research on the topic is available through google scholar: Google Scholar Link. He was wrong to try and sneak it in, but this looks like a dedicated scientific researcher making a bad decision - not an attempted terrorist attack.

Nit picking appreciated! I can’t believe I’ve been reading it and seeing ‘7’ instead of ‘T’

add to the list of parallels to Germany in the 30’s: (1) RFK implementing our own version of Aktion 74 (nazis ''forced euthanasia" of ‘undesirables’ including the disabled and sickly; the US version simply removes healthcare and obfuscates medical science). (2) The German ‘Law of preventing overcrowding of universities’ which sought to remove all undesirables from the higher education system - focused on Jewish people but also foreigners in general, and removal of those not party-aligned; The US version is starting by banning Harvard from enrolling foreign students and forcing schools to make lists of ‘suspect’ students, mainly Chinese students and pro-Palestine students

Maryland is super-blue politically and includes regions of the wealthiest black people in the country. They don’t want us to have AR’s

I think ‘S’ might be ‘binary’ in this situation

I can’t remember where I saw it, but it was a quote from an elderly man who was sad that the vast flocks of birds he saw over the midwest as a child are no longer around. Literally just directly poisoning the earth. Madness.

What is this exactly? Overriding congressional budget authority by executive order?

RFK is enacting “Aktion 74” to cull the undesirables, and trump is working on enacting the “Law against the Overcrowding of German American Schools and Universities”.

this is called fraud

Do you have a source for that? I found this source that is citing data from the congressional budget office. SOURCE (I followed the link and did confirm the numbers match). I made a quick plot so it was easier to see trends. Nothing stands out to me about 1983 - there’s a small dip and then a course correction back towards the upwards trajectory, but this data tells us nothin about wealth inequality. We can’t use total values because of inflation and such , probably have to use revenue as a %GDP or something but I’m too lazy too keep searching at the moment :) My immediate thought looking at the plot is this: If the total tax rev kept going up, and the top tax rate was cut, then the increased tax burden must have shifted to the poorer classes; I’d have to verify but it seems like a logical conclusion.

In the US, 1950-1980 is the era of lowest wealth inequality in the countries history. The top tax rate reached 91% in that time period. It is currently around 37%. Us poors had it worse before then, and have it worse after then. They won a birth lottery. Source: Thomas Piketty’s ‘Capital in the 21st Century’
