It’s that time of year when I come in from doing chores in my own barn to get some dinner and watch other farmers’ videos of using heat guns to thaw their water lines.

We’ve been robbed of our freedom.
Who will stand with us?

I am wicked grateful right from the (hard)core of my busted punk rock heart. Thank you @dropkickmurphys.com for this well-timed album. Thank you for holding on to the ethics and the fight.

Buy it, humans, and listen.

Bill Moyers leaves us a legacy well worth trying to do justice.

As of today, that "incalculable loss" is 1.2 million Americans.

And RFK Jr is taking away our vaccines.

Since Trump came to power cowardice has become contagious From the tech bros to the leaders of Ivy League universities, the great grovel to Donald Trump is well underway. What America needs now more than ever...

What if tech bros had held their nerve? What if ABC had told Trump they’d see him in court? What if Ivy League Universities had defended Columbia? What if big law firms had sued Trump? Cowardice is contagious. Welcome to the Great Grovel www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/world/united...

Shock Doctrine.
I paced in my living room reading the book by @naomiaklein.bsky.social
And not long after I quit the newspaper where I worked because they installed a political operative on the editorial board and flipped out when asked about it. Now that guy is one of the authors of Project 2025.

Great point listening to a talk by @timothysnyder.bsky.social: U.S. is making itself and its allies less powerful, which increases Russia’s relative power and influence, and brings about the multipolar world that it wants

There is new interest in Missouri as a bellwether of American decline -- a model of what the regime wants. I wrote and warned on this extensively in my 2020 book HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT. Some excerpts:

Absolutely fantastic conversation between my friend @rushkoff.com and writer/artist @mollycrabapple.bsky.social. We have reasons to be frustrated and angry, but must remember to find fun, happiness, and purpose in some aspect in our life.

In Hungary.
In Tel Aviv.
In Gaza.
In Georgia.
In Turkey.
In Serbia.
And growing around the US.

Mass movements are happening around the world as people are demanding their freedoms back.

As people begin to reclaim what these authoritarians have taken from us.

Something’s growing worldwide.

Texas Banned Abortion. Then Sepsis Rates Soared. ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis is the most detailed look yet into a rise in life-threatening complications for women experiencing pregnancy loss under Texas’ abortion ban.

Dozens more pregnant and postpartum women have died in Texas hospitals since the state banned abortion, our analysis shows.

As the maternal mortality rate dropped nationally, it rose in Texas by 33%.

The CDC Buried a Measles Forecast That Stressed the Need for Vaccinations The move β€” along with the CDC’s explanation β€” is a sign that the nation’s top public health agency may be falling in line under HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a longtime critic of vaccines.

Leaders at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ordered staff this week not to release their experts’ assessment that found the risk of catching measles is high in areas near outbreaks where vaccination rates are lagging, according to internal records reviewed by ProPublica.
