Losing a friend to a cult, is hard.
Losing your family to a cult, is next level.
Losing an entire country to a cult, is absolutely surreal.

Heather Cox Richardson Reshape American Culture Re-writing History
3/27/25
The administration is also working to reshape American culture according to their vision. The project of stripping words like “climate crisis,” “diversity,” “health disparity,” “peanut allergies,” “science-based,” “segregation,” “stereotypes,” and “understudied” from government communications are an explicit attempt to reshape the way Americans think. Today, in an executive order “restoring truth and sanity to American history,” Trump tried to change the ways in which Americans understand our history, too. He called for Vance, who as vice president serves on the Smithsonian Board of Regents, “to work to eliminate improper, divisive, or anti-American ideology from the Smithsonian and its museums, education and research centers, and the National Zoo.”

Borowitz Report
Greenland Refuses to Trade JD Vance for Rare Earth Minerals

Borowitz Report
Greenland Refuses to Trade JD Vance for Rare Earth Minerals

GREENLAND (The Borowitz Report)—On Thursday the government of Greenland flatly rejected Donald J. Trump’s offer to trade Vice President JD Vance for a stake in the island’s rare earth minerals.

In a strongly worded rebuke, government spokesman Hartvig Dorkelson declared, “Greenland will consider any attempt to transfer ownership of JD Vance to this island to be an act of war.”

Greenland’s statement drew an impassioned response from the VP’s wife, Usha Vance, who urged the island’s government to reconsider Trump’s offer.

“I strongly recommend that you agree to this deal,” she said. “We’re not even insisting on the minerals part.”

“Nessie has had her annual health check up successfully carried out this morning by the Highland Aquatic Veterinary Services. After tests were carried out she was given positive news with no illnessies to report.”

Heather Cox Richardson Violation of Espionage Act 3/24/2025

Heather Cox Richardson Violation of Espionage Act 3/24/2025

Today the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, Jeffrey Goldberg, dropped the story that senior members of the Trump administration planned the March 15 U.S. attack on the Houthis in Yemen over Signal, a widely available encrypted app that is most decidedly not part of the United States national security system. The decision to steer around government systems was possibly an attempt to hide conversations, since the app was set to erase some messages after a week and others after four weeks. By law, government communications must be archived.

According to Goldberg, the use of Signal may also have violated the Espionage Act, which establishes how officials must handle information about the national defense. The app is not approved for national security use, and officials are supposed either to discuss military activity in a sensitive compartmented information facility, or SCIF, or to use approved government equipment.

The use of Signal to plan a military attack on Yemen was itself an astonishingly dangerous breach, but what comes next is simply mind-boggling: the reason Goldberg could report on the conversation is that the person setting it up included Goldberg—a reporter without security clearance—in it.

Heather Cox Richardson Bernie/AOC Push Back

Heather Cox Richardson Bernie/AOC Push Back

Administration officials are discovering that their idea of slashing through government might not have adequately considered how actual people might react to that destruction. As constituents erupt with anger, Republican lawmakers are refusing to hold town hall meetings. Yesterday, Representative Harriet Hageman (R-WY) responded to boos and heckling by saying: “It's so bizarre to me how obsessed you are with federal government.... [Y]our hysteria is just really over the top.” When protesters dressed as chickens to goad Representative James Comer (R-KY) into holding a town hall, he issued a statement: “Congressman Comer does not plan on holding therapy sessions for left-wing activists suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome.”

In place of Republican town halls, Democrats are holding their own packed events in Republican districts. Senator Bernie Sanders (I- VT) and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) are on a “Fighting Oligarchy” tour across the country because, as Sanders says, people are “profoundly disgusted with what is going on here in Washington, D.C."

Today, 11,000 people turned out to hear Sanders and AOC in Republican-led Greeley, Colorado. Another 34,000 turned out in Denver.

Heather Cox Richardson Billionaire Howard Ludnik and Dismantling of Social Security 3/21/2025

Heather Cox Richardson Billionaire Howard Ludnik and Dismantling of Social Security 3/21/2025

SSA oversees Social Security benefits for nearly 70 million people and, according to the agency, was expected to distribute about $1.6 trillion in benefits in 2025. For many people, that check is vital to survival. But billionaire Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick suggested that concerns about a stoppage in checks were overblown. He told billionaire podcast host Chamath Palihapitiya: “Let's say Social Security didn’t send out their checks this month. My mother-in-law, who's 94, she wouldn't call and complain. She just wouldn't. She'd think something got messed up, and she'll get it next month. A fraudster always makes the loudest noise, screaming, yelling, and complaining.”

Lee Saunders, president of the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees, disagreed: “For almost 90 years, Social Security has never missed a paycheck—but 60 days into this administration, Social Security is now on the brink.... Acting Commissioner Leland Dudek has proven again that he is in way over his head, compromising the privacy of millions of Americans, shutting down services that senior citizens rely on and planning debilitating layoffs, all in service to Elon Musk’s lies.”

Heather Cox Richardson Alien Enemies Act Justice John Robert's 3/19/2025 My editing

Fox News Channel’s The Five yesterday, the panel of Fox persondalities expressed outrage federal judge James Boasberg ordered the Trump administration to stop its deportation of migrants based on the 1798 Alien Enemies Act. Fox hosts were dlso unhappy when President Donald Trump called for Boasbherg's impeachment, Chief Justice of SCOTUS Roberts issued a relatively mild statement that criticized his call for Boasberg's impeachment The normal appellate review process exists for that purpose.”Roberts was the author of the Donald Trump v. United States a decision that upended centuries of precedent to allow Trump to avoid criminal prosecution. on The Five, Greg Gutfeld exploded: “Maybe a guy in a robe in D.C. can follow all the protocols, but Trump is the ‘f-ing’ president of the United States who protects 300 million plus people. He is a leader who does not have the luxury of opening up his little books to read ‘Oh my god, maybe he didn’t do it the right way.’ Roberts, shut the ‘f’ up. This is something that a president has to do. He HAS to do this.”Gutfeld’s outburst shows just how far today’s right wing has slid toward autocracy. It is a grim marker for our democracy, when a commentator with a wide audience openly calls for the replacement of the rule of law with a dictator.

Heather Cox Richardson Who is the administrator of doge? 3/18/2025

This morning, President Donald Trump took to social media to call Boasberg a “Radical Left Lunatic of a Judge, a troublemaker and agitator who was sadly appointed by Barack Hussein Obama, was not elected President—He didn’t WIN the popular VOTE (by a lot!), he didn’'t WIN ALL SEVEN SWING STATES, he didn't WIN 2,750 to 525 Counties, HE DIDN'T WIN ANYTHING! | WON FOR MANY REASONS, IN AN OVERWHELMING MANDATE, BUT FIGHTING ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION MAY HAVE BEEN THE NUMBER ONE REASON FOR THIS HISTORIC VICTORY. I'm just doing what the VOTERS wanted me to do. This judge, like many of the Crooked Judges’ | am forced to appear before, should be IMPEACHED!!!" Trump's post sounds as if he is nervous about the increasing unrest over his policies and is trying to convince people that he has a mandate although in fact more people voted for other candidates in the 2024 election than voted for him. But it was his suggestion that any judge with whom he disagrees should be removed that sparked pushback from Chief Justice of the Supreme Court John Roberts, who issued a statement saying: “For more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision. The normal appellate review process exists for that purpose.”

#FotoVorschlag (Metallisch/metallic) meets #MeerMittwoch in #SaintTropez (which was nothing to write home about, sorry)

#anchor #Anker #rustic #weathered #MERcredi #Mittelmeer #MediterraneanSea #France #Frankreich #CoteDAzur #maritime #maritim #alt #old

Two large, weathered, rusty anchors are positioned on a rocky breakwater beside a turbulent sea. The anchors lie horizontally, their flukes resting on the dark grey and brown rocks. On the anchor on the left, a heavy, rusted chain connects to the shank and extends towards the other anchor.
Large waves crash against the rocks, creating white foamy splashes. The sea itself is a choppy, grey-green under an overcast sky. In the distance, hazy, low-lying mountains can be seen across the water. A single bird is visible flying in the middle distance.
In the foreground, a paved walkway runs alongside the breakwater, bordered by a low wall constructed from rough-hewn stones. The overall scene conveys a sense of maritime history and the power of the sea on a blustery day.
