Why I keep harping on this: fascism requires people getting inured to outrage. Fascists want you to see things that should make you angry and just shrug. When you do, they can get away with more and more. There was a time, not very long ago, when the world saw what the nazis were doing and just shrugged. "What do you expect? They're nazis!"

Don't require yourself to be surprised in order to be outraged. You should be outraged by the outrageous. Refuse to let the Overton Window shift.

Ohio considers tax credits for anti-abortion centers after historic vote | Ohio | The Guardian

“analyzed 188 centers, found that more than 70% used some kind of misleading technique in their digital advertising. Almost 40% did not say on their homepage that they do not provide abortion, while 10% exaggerated the mental health risks of abortion and 7% exaggerated the possibility of complications in future pregnancies.”

Give me those juicy good teams where the front-end folks are allowed to blur the lines over into design. It's honestly the best. I'm so stoked whenever I get to work with other developers like me. Good, creative, things happen.

'In her proffer interview, Ellis told prosecutors she was informed at a 2020 White House Christmas party by one of Trump's top aids, Dan Scavino, that Trump "is not going to leave under any circumstances."

"And he said to me, in a kind of excited tone, 'Well, we don't care, and we're not going to leave,'" Ellis said of the alleged Dec. 19 conversation with Scavino. "And I said, 'What do you mean?' And he said 'Well, the boss', meaning President Trump -- and everyone understood 'the boss,' that's what we all called him -- he said, 'The boss is not going to leave under any circumstances. We are just going to stay in power.'"

Ellis said she told him, "'Well, it doesn't quite work that way, you realize?' and he said, 'We don't care.'"'
