The Dow closed today 25.12% higher than when Trump left office in humiliation, defeat, impeachment charges, and scores of looming criminal indictments
"Having the charge of “weirdness” thrown at them has clearly wounded many on the right,

argues. It’s also revealed how far some right-wing commentators have drifted from the median American voter in social and economic terms." The Atlantic
Truth teller Rachel #Maddow delivers a sobering warning: when Trump named & thanked 3 GA election board members at his rally - he’s telling them exactly what he wants them to do: block the certification of the election, because if a county doesn’t certify the election, its state can’t certify the election, preventing the vote count & potentially throwing the decision to the Supreme Court or the GOP controlled House - that are both in Trump’s pocket. Another coup in plain sight.
"Grocery store prices are changing faster than ever before — literally. This month, Walmart became the latest retailer to announce it’s replacing the price stickers in its aisles with electronic shelf labels. The new labels allow employees to change prices as often as every ten seconds."

What a creepy human being - “If it’s hot outside, we can raise the price of water and ice cream" said Phil Lempert, a grocery industry analyst. #Inflation https://www.npr.org/2024/06/17/nx-s1-5009271/electronic-shelf-labels-prices-walmart-grocery-store

The new book World on the Brink: How America Can Beat China in the Race for the 21st Century lays out what might actually happen if China were to invade Taiwan in 2028. #China #Taiwan #War https://www.wired.com/story/this-is-what-would-happen-if-china-invaded-taiwan/
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.
