It has come to my attention that Etsy has a lot of "Alligator Alcatraz" merch. Do what you will with that. Amazon of course has lots of it as well. Walmart doesn't have any, per a search I just did.

Don't give a second thought to a political party started by a man who openly worked to destroy the U.S. Govt to serve his personal & business interests and left his agents inside it once he had what he wanted; a man known for his Nazi salutes and exceptional levels of racism and misogyny; a kook who seeks to impregnate as many women as he possibly can because of his bizarre natalist and TESCREAL beliefs; etc., etc., the list has no end.

No, don't give it a second thought, you absolutely do not want to be associated with another white supremacist kleptocratic oligarch's project. Unless you are one of them, of course. Let this abomination pass as quickly as a fart in a hurricane.

There must have been some #Windows update lately but my laptop is constantly being monopolized by real time threat protection which hogs memory & CPU and heats the machine up so the fan runs on high for long periods until I go into the app and turn it off. It automatically turns itself back on again after some time period and here we go again. FU, MS

Today in modern American Gleichschaltung:

"My SAC informed me in a moment she described as “brutally honest,” that I would not be receiving any promotions; in fact, I needed to prepare myself for the likelihood of being demoted. She gave me no details about what position or office I would be sent to once my time as a leader prematurely concluded.

Furthermore, she told me, I would be asked to submit to a polygraph exam probing the nature of my friendship with Pete, and (as I was quietly informed by another, friendlier senior employee) what could only be described as a latter-day struggle session. I would be expected to grovel, beg forgiveness, and pledge loyalty as part of the FBI’s cultural revolution brought about by Patel and Bongino’s accession to the highest echelons of American law enforcement and intelligence."

Oh my fucking god. I just got a propaganda email from Social Security. Tipping point? We're past it. And I don't even know how much of this is lies. Possibly all of it, or none, that's the whole point of flooding the zone with shit -- so that nobody tries to figure out what's real anymore.

And would I rather not have these alleged tax breaks if it meant USAID still existed, ICE didn't just become the world's largest and most violent police force, and millions of people wouldn't be losing their healthcare in the coming years so that billionaires could have a massive wealth transfer from the poor? Yes, I *would* rather not.

"DHS, in partnership with the White House's Department of Governmental Efficiency (DOGE) team, has recently rolled out a series of upgrades to a network of federal databases to allow state and county election officials to quickly check the citizenship status of their entire voter lists — both U.S.-born and naturalized citizens — using data from the Social Security Administration as well as immigration databases.

Such integration has never existed before, and experts call it a sea change that inches the U.S. closer to having a roster of citizens — something the country has never embraced. A centralized national database of Americans' personal information has long been considered a third rail — especially to privacy advocates as well as political conservatives, who have traditionally opposed mass data consolidation by the federal government.

Legal experts told NPR they were alarmed that a development of this magnitude was already underway without a transparent and public process." #data #privacy

I hit the farmer's market first thing. 8 bucks

ICE, CBP, CoreCivic, Geo Group. Personnel in all of these should be individually charged for crimes. Will it ever happen? Nothing happened after the traumatic kidnappings done during the first criminal Trump regime. They stole thousands of kids, kept no records, and some of those kids were never rejoined with their families. Is this American justice? Apparently it is. https://www.texastribune.org/2025/06/21/texas-family-detention-adults-kids-fighting/

At least this #ICE kidnapper impersonator got shot. I guess we all need to be packing now?!

Proposal for a simple Democratic Party drumbeat narrative: Trumpism kills people

Trump's "big beautiful bill"
Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Households making $23,000 a year or less will lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance.

When you make $700k you don't even notice $12k. When you make $23k and suddenly it's almost $21k, that's a fucking life changing disaster. I still have my tax return from my first year at IA State, single with 2 kids and child support of $150/month. I made $9k that year. Without welfare I would not have been able to graduate and go on to be a prolific taxpayer! And I was always happy to know that my money was helping others like me! Eat the rich! Put them in a rocket and shoot it into the sun!

"The poll found that 90% of Democrats, 68% of Republicans, and 66% of MAGA supporters agreed with the statement, "Parents should be required to have their children vaccinated against preventable diseases to attend school." Seventy-two percent of parents or guardians felt the same way." #vaccines #PublicHealth

Folks, the U.S. Executive Branch is being run by a reactionary small minority of, let's be clear, KOOKS, that in no way represent the broad views of the U.S. population. People just have to care enough to get up off their dead asses and vote next time, stop turning up their noses and getting pissy because there isn't a perfect Dem candidate. Republicans are literally killing people with their policies and their insane demolition of the government. https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/childhood-vaccines/4-5-americans-support-childhood-vaccine-requirements-poll-finds

"Business"??? The National Archives belong to the people, I once thought. Until 2025 when the U.S. became a fascist dictatorship I guess. Understandably, archived classified material would not be available to the public until declassified, but why restrict literally everything from the public?

Restricted-Access Federal Facility, Effective July 7, 2025

Effective July 7, 2025, the National Archives at College Park, MD, will become a restricted-access federal facility with access only for visitors with a legitimate business need. It will no longer be open to the general public. Security officers will enforce these restrictions, and your cooperation is appreciated.

Visitor Requirements

All researchers must apply and present a researcher card, which may be obtained in Room 1000. This ensures that proper identification is on file for all individuals accessing the building to establish a legitimate business purpose. Abuse of any researcher registration to circumvent access by the general public may result in a trespass situation and a permanent ban from access to all NARA facilities.

Circumvent access by the general public???

I was picking up a prescription and the lady in front of me seemed very old, completely white hair, lots of wrinkles, using an electric scooter, pretty heavy, seemed frail. I overheard her giving her birth date to the pharmacy assistant. She's only 10 years older than me. Jeebus that's scary. Time to go do today's workout. #aging

More politicization and worse, incipient Silicon Valley takeover of the U.S. military from within. I can hardly quantify my level of revulsion at this mockery of the military under a criminal commander in chief.

Army bringing in big tech executives as lieutenant colonels: The Army is swearing in top tech executives from Meta, OpenAI and Palantir as senior officers to be part-time advisors.

"...the four executives will get up to two weeks of online and face-to-face training at Fort Benning, Georgia on physical fitness, marksmanship and “basic soldier tasks” such as Army customs and courtesies, rank structure and uniform wear. The four will not attend the Army’s full six-week Direct Commissioning Course at Fort Benning, a common but not universal training program for new officers."

“Their swearing-in is just the start of a bigger mission to inspire more tech pros to serve without leaving their careers, showing the next generation how to make a difference in uniform,” the Army said in a release.

Adam Serwer: Trump’s attempts to dehumanize large segments of the American people in order to use military force against them fits the classic definition of “tyranny,” and right wing rhetoric using the phrase “third world” to justify it is no accident (gift link) #authoritarianism #fascism https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2025/06/trump-military-force-protests/683198/?gift=Je3D9AQS-C17lUTOnl2W8Cdfor12GRVOUysWoqfjmig&utm_source=copy-link&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=share

VA: "individual workers are now free to decline to care for patients based on personal characteristics not explicitly prohibited by federal law.

Language requiring healthcare professionals to care for veterans regardless of their politics and marital status has been explicitly eliminated.

Doctors and other medical staff can also be barred from working at VA hospitals based on their marital status, political party affiliation or union activity" #veterans #VA #discrimination #fascism https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jun/16/va-doctors-refuse-treat-patients
