New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!
The usurpation of nature destroys our soul. Fortunately, the future of statues is oblivion. Connecting insights. Courage in despair.

Leonard Leo’s Catholic machine built the courts. Evangelicals mobilize the base. Billionaires fund it. Now tech lords join in. The “Unholy Trinity” becomes the “Big Four”, a fusion of law, money, faith & code driving Project 2025. #StopProject2025 #WeFightForTheChildren
The Washington Post is not allowed to mention the concept of the Network State. But I wrote about how Trump's Gaza fantasy is a pure expression the Network State ideology, as is the lust for stealing Greenland. www.techpolicy.press/trumps-gaza-...
Here comes the Gaza Network State. A plan to turn Gaza into a privately-developed “gleaming tourism resort and high-tech manufacturing and technology hub” with “AI-powered smart cities” and “Trump Riviera” resort gift link: wapo.st/4g2eATo
Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare. Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics. Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages. If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.

Eh, "woke kunst" is het belachelijk, racistische en homofobe frame van Trump c.s., op deze manier helpt de krant dat inburgeren.
The classical fascist regimes were not invulnerable, even after seizing the reins of power: Mussolini's primiership almost collapsed during a crisis where the criminality of his movement became apparent; it was a lack of political initiative and craven opportunism that allowed him to continue on

Why do you appreciate unions? I’ll start: Weekends off Paid vacations Work breaks Sick leave Paid holidays No child labor Safer working conditions Health care and retirement benefits
What? Historically speaking I don't think you'll find any greater instances of criminal madness than those cooked up by fascist movements. Volkisch medicine and science is perfectly in line with fascism.

For decades, Republicans in Washington have told us that tax cuts would trickle down to workers. Instead, wealth and power have accumulated in the hands of the richest 1% at the expense of the rest of us. Trickle-down economics was never supposed to work. It was a hoax.
Right. Like that’s something that happened to them, and not something their creepy polluting industry did.

'... the Trump administration and Republican allies in Congress are moving to dismantle regulations aimed at protecting water quality, including those that work to limit discharges of pesticides and other farm-related chemicals into waterways.' www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
Fair point. So we should support and promote the narrative of the social movements (including some unions) that are pursuing a better course, as well as Democrats like AOC and Bernie, instead of putting energy into bashing the dinosaurs. Then the dinosaurs may also begin to dance to the new tune.
THIS I do know. If you are like them in any way, they win. Chaos plays to their favor. Hysteria plays to their favor. Hate plays to their favor. Violence and coercion plays to their favor. Resentment and bitterness plays to their favor. You have to do things they can’t do which are also appealing.

Leonard Leo ally Tim Busch has called SCOTUS the “Leo Court,” explaining that Trump “radically changed” the direction of SCOTUS by appointing (anti-abortion) justices “shepherded” by Leo, who he says is “one of the big supporters of the Napa Institute” (founded by Busch). 1/
Labor has always been on the frontlines in the fight against fascism – and today is no different. Unions are fighting Trump’s cruel agenda in the courts and in the streets, and workers across industries are standing up for each other. There’s courage – and hope – in solidarity.
Perhaps a deeper problem for most "professional" Democrats is a lack of passionate belief in—and a genuine drive to proclaim— clear and concrete values ​​and material goals. Constructing and promoting your own frame requires a great deal of (not least mental) energy... Plus: stop the infighting!
Crypto is to the economy what psychedelic drugs are to medicine, and what AI is to intelligence (in the broadest sense, incl. sensitivity). A narrowing bordering on blindness (despite the appearance of dazzling vistas and possibilities). Shortcuts on steroids. Highly polluting escalations. Necrotic.

Well, that did weaken the Democrats? But in this case it's different - I agree with you in a fundamental respect: the fuss about Trump's health and Vance's supposed machinations is spilled energy; moreover, it accepts & reinforces the 'GOP show' as the 'default reality'.

* Niet alleen uit angst, het kan ook zijn uit meegaandheid, kortzichtigheid of - erger - puur opportunisme (uit zijn op aanzien, geld of macht). In alle gevallen is er geen sprake van ten volle mens zijn.

Het verhaal van Bakker (of Kurzweil, of Harari, of De Mul - enzovoorts) komt voor een belangrijk deel neer op: 'Als wij ons niet bewapenen, doen anderen het wel; dus we moeten het ook - of we gaan ten onder'. Geen 'nee' willen zeggen uit au fond angst. >

Het gegeven dat ai-experts en cognitiewetenschappers al minimaal zeventig jaar lijnrecht tegenover elkaar staan, komt vermoedelijk uit dit fundamentele verschil van inzicht. Zijn we niets meer dan een (gebrekkige) informatieverwerkende machine, of meer dan dat?

Medicare will start requiring prior approval for certain procedures — and will hire private AI companies to determine if patients are covered. The AI companies would have financial incentives to deny claims, because Medicare plans to pay them some of the savings from rejections.
My belief is that the only valid green narrative is about degrowth and redistribution. Endless material growth will inevitably lead to the destruction of nature and to greedy, increasingly heartless elites. But such a narrative loses out to the flood of advertising messages and bourgeois journalism.
