WAKE THE FUCK UP TEXAS
Texas is refusing to release its maternal death report until after voters cast their midterm ballots. This comes as reporting finds that ectopic pregnancy deaths rose faster in states with abortion bans.

Past crimes must be normalized and those who held criminals accountable must be demonized: the old authoritarian story.
GOP Rep. Moore on Watergate: "Richard Nixon was absolutely couped out of office and was framed. All of this was fake."

What the hell is happening that one college campus - @Cornell - has 1,200 sexual assault cases in SIX YEARS???? THAT IS 200 SEXUAL ASSAULTS PER YEAR FOR SIX YEARS. THAT IS AN EPIDEMIC.
1,200 sexual assault cases were filed at Cornell from 2018 to 2024. Most of those found responsible received minor sanctions that allowed them to remain on campus, such as probation or training. Only 7 ended in expulsion or dismissal. usatoday.com/story/news/nati…

Yup. It's also, as I argue shortly in Morning Shots, neo-fascism.
.@Timodc and JVL torch Pete Hegseth for obsessing over “fatties, “weirdos,” and testosterone while failing at the actual job of leading the Defense Department. "This whole thing is preposterous. It is just performative nonsense."

Least shocking development ever: Netanyahu plans to use his false flag attack as an excuse for war. Expect bombings of either Iran, Oman or both to bolster his election chances.
JUST IN: Netanyahu says the attacker aboard the flydubai flight underwent "Islamist radicalization" and intended to crash the plane with everyone on board. "As time passes, the picture is becoming clearer: Yaniv and his hero friends prevented catastrophe on the scale of 9/11." The prime minister says investigators are now working to determine whether the attacker was sent by someone else, warning: "Whoever sent him will pay a high price." The Omani co-pilot is accused of stabbing the captain and sending the Tel Aviv-bound jet into a dangerous dive before passengers and others aboard intervened. The suspect remains in custody as authorities investigate his motive and whether he acted alone.

It took "courage" to strip women of their most basic human right? It took "courage" to tell women what they can do with their own bodies? What an absolute irredeemable POS. Just sick and gross and ugly and evil.
Sam Alito wants you to know that it took courage for him to overturn Roe after the decision was leaked and that it cost him friends.

I've posted this before but it bears repeating, again and again. Social media allows people to create their own reality.
The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.' — Isaac Asimov

surprising portrait of an individual who, evidently, at an earlier time in his life, had different values. what has happened in the interim? the Roberts court isn't just inclined to be "conservative"--it is extraordinarily, astonishingly conciliatory to a single individual, T***p. hoping that historians will unravel some of these mysteries. "why good men surrendered to T***p"--were they blackmailed? in some way coerced? but so many others have remained steadfast, intransigent. what was it about Roberts that made him weak?
Chief Justice John Roberts Shunned by His Neighbors as Backlash Over Pro-Fascist, Cruel, and Sadistic Trump Rulings Grows Chief Justice John Roberts is being frozen out on the Maine island where he has summered for more than 20 years. Neighbors who once shared lobster dinners with him now keep their distance, skip gatherings, or show up to protest his rulings. The break tracks the court's 2022 barbaric decision overturning Roe v. Wade and Roberts' 2024 opinion granting Donald Trump the same kind of broad immunity from prosecution that other authoritarian tyrants enjoy. Kayakers hold signs a few hundred yards from his house. "Roberts Benched the Constitution" appears on local roads. On Monhegan Island, people who recognized him chanted that he should be ashamed. Longtime friends have pulled back. Members of a local cigar club skipped this summer's gatherings so they would not have to sit with Roberts and his wife. "It's harder for him to feel comfortable approaching people — and vice versa," said Mary Anne Mason, a former law partner. His security detail has grown. He used to linger on the dock after church; on protest days he stays away. Wendy Schlotterbeck, a longtime neighbor, said she wanted to ask him directly: "Do you realize what your decisions are doing to my family and my community?" A recent Gallup poll put the fascist-friendly Roberts Supreme Court's approval at a record low of 33% — which is still 33% higher than it should be.

Holy shit, man. The geniuses at the @nytimes posted an out-of-context interview with racist, eugenicist doomer Nick Bostrom and a guy who works at the neo-Nazi Claremont Institute & thinks quantum physics is evidence of God. “Silicon Valley’s Favorite Prophet”… WHAT? You could not create a nastier rabbithole for people. Bostrom appeals to a small, dangerous subset of Silicon Valley psychopaths who want to “exit” democracy and create a new race of transhumans. This is truly evil shit that should not be normalized by anyone much less a major newspaper. Shame on everyone involved.

The new kind of coup continues, as first related by me in Feb 2025. When Musk "left" DOGE Trump said he was not really leaving and that was true, he has been everywhere in matters of foreign and defense policy and this just makes it official. lucid.substack.com/p/a-new-k…
A little over a year after leaving government service, Elon Musk is set to return in a limited capacity, co-directing a Pentagon initiative known as Project Meridian focused on the future of warfare, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced. wapo.st/4rIY3td

THE EMPTY MAN (2020) is an ambitious, atmospheric cosmic-horror film. What starts as a creepy urban legend slowly becomes something far stranger, darker, and more existential—an unsettling descent into the unknown that deserves more attention.
