Trump’s Erratic Behavior and Extreme Comments Revive Mental Health Debate
As the president threatens to wipe out Iran and attacks the pope, even some former allies and advisers are questioning whether he has grown increasingly unbalanced, describing him as “lunatic” and “clearly insane.”

I realized something interesting today that I hadn't fully pieced together: living under #Trump is a pretty close approximation to being poor in a rural area, at least in my experience.
You're constantly afraid of authorities because any of them could randomly ruin your life. You randomly can't afford things (because some unexpected expense came up, or because some incompetent asshole decided to tariff something or start a war or whatever). Everything is terrifying, unstable, and unpredictable basically all the time. The only way you survive is with a community.
I knew Trump would take the rural vote way back because I recognized him as the crooked sheriff or good ol' boy mayor of more than a few little towns I've lived in. He's so deeply familiar, which is really triggering for the tiny number of people who managed to escape that kind of crushingly hopeless place.
So if this has all felt very terrifying and foreign, then perhaps use it to understand the people who find it terrifying and familiar. For at least some of those people, this has been an unpleasant return to (continuation of) an old normal. Understand why we say that things must change far more radically than that which lets a few people "go back to brunch."

Many commenters said they wanted to do the same.
Others worried about her. “I’ve gotten a l…

Donald Trump’s Incompetence Is Costing Him the Country
Donald Trump has led us to chaos — war with Iran, spiking gas prices, unstable markets — that may lose him the Republican party and the nation.

I once went into a haberdashers to buy a crochet hook. The woman serving me was genuinely concerned and asked "is it for you?" and then "do you have someone to help you?"
I often think about this.. On the face of it it seems like a case of inverse sexism, but maybe it was more about her not being able to imagine me learning crochet as a man without a traditional community of care, and wanting to give me advice or something like that. I should have continued the conve…

In the coming years, we will likey see a cement plant🪨🏭, Biomethane🌱 upgraders, two bioenergy plants, and a waste-to-energy plant with CCS in Denmark. I sympathize with the first two. I'm skeptical about bioenergy plants and waste incinerators with CCS.

Members of the American Indian Movement (AIM) and of the Many Shields Warrior Society (an Indigenous community security group) have been patrolling the streets of Minneapolis’s Phillips neighborhood since the start of the occupation, and they do not plan to stop.
“We all have a place. My place is to make sure people are fed and get a cup of coffee,” Rice said.
As is the case with many Minneapolis residents who do not imagine themselves as demonstrators — much less radicals — gett…
