Fucking fascist

Sure, but those folks tend to pass the paper bag test in higher numbers than Muslims (mosques) and Latinos (heavy Catholic leaning)

I'm thinking mosques and Catholic churches in the you-know-why-hombre parts of town first, but your point remains and probably everyone should pay attention and be concerned

We're already well-started down this path with brown people that we aren't at war with. The group of undesirables must constantly expand under fascist rule. To answer you succinctly: incredibly likely, perhaps even a near certainty

The government is laying the groundwork for reestablishing federal mental institutions while also putting a fresh target on autism. This is manufacturing consent to expand the group of others. First they came for the immigrants, and I did not speak up... You know the poem. The outgroup is ever-growing and it starts when they put you under a microscope

This is the one to watch. All of the cases are important, of course, but this one has come to a head. The top layer of the judicial branch has issued an order at odds with the wishes of the Trump administration, and it's the executive branch's constitutional responsibility to see that the order is carried out.

This is where we find out if our fascist leader has any guardrails left to protect our democracy or if we truly live in a fascist state where people can be disappeared with complete public awareness at the whim and pleasure of ICE.

You know how sometimes you have a "contact and then it, and then somehow it gets sucked in" to another contact on your phone? You know?

An 8-year-old girl with measles died Thursday morning, the second measles-related death in an ongoing outbreak that has infected nearly 500 Texans since January.

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a vaccine skeptic, is expected to visit Texas Sunday, NBC News reported.

The child was not vaccinated and had no known underlying health conditions, said a spokesperson for University Medical Center in Lubbock, where the child had been hospitalized. "This unfortunate event underscores the importance of vaccination," the statement read. "We encourage all individuals to stay current with their vaccinations to help protect themselves and the broader community."

This disease was beaten. This is child abuse and should maybe even be considered manslaughter given the willful negligence.

I mean, how could he say no?

 

For people interested in learning Old English, Osweald Bera is an introductory book written by Colin Gorrie that, if I recall from his prior announcement about this, leans on a method called comprehensible input to teach the language. As far as I can tell from watching some of his youtube videos and reading his other online material, this looks like it could be useful for folks that are including "Learn Old English" as an item on their New Year's Resolution list.

The preorders were just announced. They are saying they intend to begin shipping the books themselves mid-November.
