@EUCommission They just fired many of their top generals in US. Propably most competent ones.

And massive purges of words, books and people continue.

Europe should offer sanctuary for #pro-democracy and #pro-RuleOfLaw people.

These fired top generals shouls be hired to EU asap. They are valuable assets!

Also EU should consider hiring all pro-democracy US soldiers currently in EU. And offer sanctuary for families also.

Gaining IT knowledge over the decades has big advantages (besides being able to earn your money with it): You need less and less (to none) support from other people. You fix all the stuff on your own.

The downside: *IF* You do need help, the amount of people who can help you also grows thinner to non-existent.

"Before the legislators voted, they knew their #law could harm other aspects of reproductive #healthcare. There was a well-publicized outcry from physicians about the proposal.

The decision to pass it anyway reveals a callousness toward maternal #health from a movement whose supporters claim to be #pro-life. #Louisiana already has one of the highest #MaternalMortality rates in the country... These laws will exacerbate a terrible maternal health #crisis on the ground."

Text from article: The Louisiana law is a novel attempt to confront telehealth prescriptions, but lawmakers surely know it won’t stop the influx of abortion pills from other states, as those providers aren’t subject to Louisiana law. And the patients who use the pills are also exempt. Before the legislators voted, they knew their law could harm other aspects of reproductive health care. There was a well-publicized outcry from physicians about the proposal. The decision to pass it anyway reveals a callousness toward maternal health from a movement whose supporters claim to be pro-life. Louisiana already has one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the country. And since the state’s abortion ban has gone into effect, pregnant patients have struggled to access miscarriage care. These laws will exacerbate a terrible maternal health crisis on the ground.

#PRO S2E9 The Devourer of All Things (part 1)

I haven't been posting as much lately ... honestly, I may be getting burnt out¹. the second I'm done with Prodigy, I'm rewatching the Magicians and not posting about it

but also: WESLEY CRUSHER 🤩 I'm so excited!!!

#AllTrekWatch #StarTrek #Prodigy

¹ but also I'm doing a podcast where I do essentially the same thing, but for an anime rather than Star Trek, and that seems to scratch the same itch that made me want to post about watching Star Trek in the first place, so I suspect that has a lot to do with it

On march 18, news broke that Donald Trump intended to restore the disgraced lobbyist #Paul #Manafort to the ranks of his campaign advisers.

In any other moral universe, this would have been an unimaginable rehabilitation.
Back in 2016, as revelations about Manafort’s work on behalf of #pro-#Kremlin politicians in Ukraine began appearing in the press, even Trump considered him a figure so toxic that he forced him to resign as chair of his campaign.
Two years later, Manafort was locked up in federal #prison on charges of tax evasion and money laundering, among other transgressions.
His was one of the most precipitous falls in the history of Washington.

But at this stage in that history, it’s not remotely shocking to learn that the revolving door continues to turn.

By the end of Trump’s term, Manafort had already won a presidential pardon.

His unwillingness to cooperate with Special Counsel #Robert #Mueller’s investigation had earned him Trump’s unstinting admiration:
“Such respect for a brave man,” he tweeted.

Now it seemed that Manafort’s loyalty would be rewarded with the lobbyist’s most valuable tool:
the perception of access, at an opportune moment.

In early May, under growing media scrutiny for international consulting work that he’d reportedly been involved in after his pardon,
Manafort said that he would “stick to the sidelines,”
playing a less visible role in supporting Trump.

(He’d recently been in Milwaukee, part of meetings about this summer’s Republican National Convention programming.)

But if Trump wins the election, Manafort won’t need 2024 campaign work officially on his résumé to convince corporations and foreign regimes that he can bend U.S. policy on their behalf
—­and he and his ilk will be able to follow through on such pledges with unimpeded ease.

A second Trump term would mark the culmination of the story chronicled by the brothers Luke and Brody Mullins in their new book
"The Wolves of K Street"
