Would all the (sane) libertarian think-tanks please stop yammering on about "free enterprise" for a few minutes and take a look at the MASSIVE erosion of liberty happening under Trump, pretty-please? (p.s. free enterprise is wonderful, but...)

I feel like I'm starting to understand what has happened to the American right now that I'm half-way through this book: www.amazon.ca/Hayeks-Basta...
Three rules in FBI firearm training:
1. Always point your weapon downrange
2. Do not point your weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot
3. Don’t put your finger on the trigger unless you intend to shoot
Guns are not for threatening compliance for unarmed people doing things you don’t like
I guess you don't *have* to be a racist to support the Trump regime, but it sure must help.
Two kinds of Americans right now. Ones who are collaborating with the racists, and the ones who are resisting.
Those folks oughta read Exit, Voice, and Loyalty, the classic by Albert O. Hirschman. "Exit" is pretty clearly not the answer in this case.
Just sat in on a webinar by some insurance analysts -- you know, the folks that earn their living by being right about risks. They said "You won't find climate change deniers working at insurance companies." That should mean something to folks. #climatechange
Hebridean wool! Warm, and surprisingly water-repellant (for those who spend winter in ... damp climates.)
Yup, cancelled. And I *normally* think boycotts are misguided.
I mostly think boycotts are misguided. But I just cancelled our Disney+ account.

I'm not the first to say it, but: police & military are the hearts and minds we need to persuade.
Whether it's Twitter or Trump 2.0, Elon's real talent is to trash things he overpaid for
Even more excited now to see @joshjohnsoncomedy.bsky.social live this Saturday. Can't wait to see his observations on Trump v Musk
I've got tickets for Saturday. I can't wait.
Yes, this!! If the richest man on earth can't count on Trump's allegiance...
If anyone is looking for a primer on how philosophers think about the Rule of Law... plato.stanford.edu/entries/rule...
This, over and over again: "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
I use this feature all the time. (Of course, that doesn't make it profitable for Apple).
I don't understand any parent who would say otherwise. But it's nice to see someone with a big name say it. :-)
@tps.ca Question: on Dupont around Christie this morning there is road construction going on -- fenced off by pylons declaring "Police Emergency". Real emergency?
