Trump Admin Threatens To Pull California School Funding Unless It Forcibly Outs Trans Students
It is kind of funny-sad how your chest heaves the same way when you are trying to restrain sobs and when you are trying to restrain upchucking.

So, I’m embarrassed, but not for a good reason. It’s been a TOUGH day. Said goodbye to my therapist. Then worked. Then accidentally spilled soda on my power strip enough that it literally began buzzing and smoking. Cautiously but frantically (until today, I would not have thought you could do something both cautiously and frantically, but sure enough, it is possible), I unplugged every single plug on that strip and moved it to the other room, then called 911, keeping my cool, and they said as long as it was unplugged, it was cooling, and the wall platform was not hot, I shuld be okay.
Not With a Bang, but a Fucking Signal Ping (Erik Veland)

Erik Veland: The Hegseth Signal Scandal is not just a mistake. It’s a sign that the fascist coup is sloppy, dangerous, and fully operational. This wasn’t “oops, wrong text.” It was Project 2025 protocol in action. Here’s why this has intelligence vets raging and democracies trembling: The U.S. government—yes, the one run by Trump’s handpicked fascists—accidentally added a journalist to a group Signal chat where they were actively planning strikes in Yemen.
Rising Sun, Michael Crichton: The American press reports the prevailing opinion. The prevailing opinion is the opinion of the group in power.

A: This is how Tony Stark figured out time travel, because we know in Endgame he uses a Möbius strip as the shape to figure out time travel, but the reason why Marvel and the Russo brothers use this shape is actually crazy. B: To be fair, I have no idea what a Möbius strip even does. A: Okay, so if you look at this, right, it’s just a regular loop.
Executive Orders Have Never Been Kingly Edicts - So Why Are We Treating Trump's EOs That Way?
3/26/25
I do not understand why Trump’s executive orders are currently being treated as faits accomplis, even by those challenging them. EOs have to stay inside Constitutional boundaries (Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. v. Sawyer); they can’t contradict or override federal laws or even spend money without Congress' OK (Chamber of Commerce v. Reich (1996); Dames & Moore v. Regan (1981); Louisiana Public Service Commission v. FCC (1986)); they can’t commandeer state officials (Printz v.
“I had a professor in college who used to start solving every problem with the same dialogue.
“Prof: What’s the first step to solving any problem?
“Class: Don’t panic.
“Prof: And why is that?
“Class: Because we know more than we think we do.
“I think about that a lot tbh. It didn’t occur to me until much later that he meant for us to apply that dialogue outside of the classroom to any problem. Because we always know more than we think we do. We are all an amalgam of random information that ends up being relevant with surprising frequency.”
Anthony Bourdain: “There are few things I care about less than coffee. I have two big cups every morning: light and sweet, preferably in a cardboard cup. Any bodega will do. I don’t want to wait for my coffee. I don’t want some man-bun, ‘Mumford and Son’ motherfucker to get it for me. I like good coffee but I don’t want to wait for it, and I don’t want it with the cast of Friends. It’s a beverage; it’s not a lifestyle.”
