A white MAGA man shot & killed his daughter because she criticized Trump. Why is no one asking the questions they'd ask if he was Black, brown, immigrant, or Muslim?🧐

For example:
•Where was he radicalized?
•Why is their culture so violent?
•Is this what they call "honor killing?"
•Why won't they assimilate to our values?
•What radicalism are they teaching in their churches?
•Was he here legally from Europe or was he an illegal?
•Did you know they cite their Bible to command women to be silent?

In his 1998 interview with Guitar World, Prince spoke directly about one of the reasons why he was seeking ownership of his work: to have artistic control so there couldn't be unauthorized digital manipulation of his work after his death. https://sites.google.com/site/prninterviews/home/guitar-world-october-1998

Just so EVERYONE understands this:

Moderna has a flu shot. It works. It works well. It is safe. It is safe in people with compromised immune systems (like cancer patients!).

Trump’s nutjob at FDA, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., appears to have ordered FDA to refuse to even accept the application to review the shot for approval.

RFK wants to kill your grandma. Fuck RFK.

Courtesy a climate-related account on LI, take a look at this. Just so's ya know, the current extent of our climate crisis and the worse that is to come was entirely a choice that was made. For us, not by us, but it was a choice.

Here's the link to the OG document if you want to check Dunsky's work.

Too many lines have been crossed for anything to normalize when Trump is gone.

Democrats are about to fund ICE again, on the heels of several high profile murders. How do we ever come back from that as a country? The mask is fully off.

Technocrats are spending a trillion dollars on Surveillance Capitalism 2.0. Not only doesn't it need Trump to operate, it'll be better off when he's gone.

Trump leaving is just the end of the beginning. We may even one day find him quaint.

I think it would be very hard to convince anyone reading Hitchhiker's Guide for the first time that Zaphod Beeblebrox wasn't written specifically as a commentary on Trump and the type of power he wields.

We've known about power and spectacle for at least as many years as that book has existed, yet we've managed to distill all of our problems down into a Trumpian sludge, and some of us refuse to drink anything else.

If neoliberalism dies tonight, what'll be there in the morning to take its place? Will it be Brooklyn Dad (Defiant!) who helps redistribute all the baguettes once our mad king's metaphorical head is on a hypothetical platter? Will Mueller She Wrote write our new federalist papers on Patreon after the old man chokes on an Adderall pill? Do you see Nancy Pelosi guiding us to the promised land in full Kente Cloth when the Democrats squeak by a win?

Content Blocks on #iAWriter are so useful.

I break my essay into three parts, then reference each in a main draft so I'm not scrolling through thousands of words editing.

"Google handed over a trove of personal data about a student and journalist to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in response to a subpoena that had not been approved by a judge.

The search giant provided ICE with the usernames, physical addresses, and an itemized list of services associated with the Google account of Amandla Thomas-Johnson, a British student and journalist who attended a pro-Palestinian protest in 2024.

Google also turned over Thomas-Johnson’s IP addresses, phone numbers, subscriber numbers and identities, and credit card and bank account numbers linked to his account."
