If you are paying attention to weather events, you know that several counties in South Florida were declared disaster areas last week. No hurricanes. No floods. Just a rain bomb which are becoming more common.

Watched #Oppenheimer again last night, then watched a documentary about "Downwinders", the populations of peoples who lived down wind from the *928* nuclear detonations that occurred in the Nevada desert from the late 40's until 1994.
Absolutely bananas that our government detonated nukes in America, west of the prevailing winds.
Absolutely insane that some people are pushing to *resume* testing.
The photographs also invite serious reflection on the complexities of American tourism and its fantasies of an unspoiled West. The series takes its title from an early-20th-century marketing campaign to promote domestic travel among the wealthy via the railroads (the original, longer slogan was “See Europe if you will, but see America first”).
“We must make our choice. We may have democracy, or we may have wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can’t have both.” —Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis
“This man is a stain, a Nazi, a pure a [sic] simple garbage of a human being,” fulminated Adam Kinzinger, the former Republican congressman. “Flush Trump down the toilet.”
Trump’s Truth Social account posted a video featuring fake newspapers with celebratory imagined headlines about Trump (it’s a landslide! trump wins!!). Below, a sub-headline referred to “the creation of a unified Reich.”
Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. When autocrats are given an inch, they take an entire nation.
The German Enabling Act of 1933 is the template for Project 2025.

"Watching #60Minutes, I'm reminded that the Holocaust would not have been possible without the Enabling Act of 1933, which allowed Germany's Chancellor to bypass the system of checks and balances in govmnt — giving Hitler unlimited power. Project 2025 will do the same for Trump." Bill Madden
"One good thing about a tweet regarding Von Shitzinpantz is all the maga simpletons stumbling into the thread with the SAME response.
No original or clever replies to be found." Snarky Stardust
Biden's Morehouse speech was a success. So, we're not giving it any coverage.

“To my Republican colleagues who are defending the indefensible: There will come a time when Donald Trump is gone. But your dishonor will remain.”
