Dispatches from the High Desert—Part 1 The Hat Situation or, How I Came to Terms with Personal Shade

I've been writing "postcards" on Facebook. Guest appearance this week "On the Shelf" substack (it is free) with: Dispatches from the High Desert—Part 1 open.substack.com/pub/annemccl...

Organic free range chicken eggs at grocery store 5.50$ Same eggs, @ Farmers’ market - 14$ WTF????

But Trump promised he’d do that. Past performance is entirely predictive of his future behavior

Too many women on that list!

It’s like the least sketchy alley behind a 24-hour diner: smells weird, lighting’s bad, but sometimes you meet someone interesting by the dumpsters.

Summation of all Trump policies: Vengeance is mine sayeth the lord Trump

We have ~4 inches of snow in Santa Fe and it is great day to go outside, meet up with a few hundred of your friends, and make your voice heard. :-)

If there was still a relatively independent DoJ, it would be interesting to know if any of the administration (or its advisors), did some stock dumping in the month before the tariff announcement.

Trump playbook: Create chaos, blame someone else, "save" the situation. This case: Tariffs, blame the Fed on poor economy, provide stimulus to the economy.

EXCELLENT find

I'm thrilled Tufts can assert that she is a student, was detained, ICE crack downs make faculty nervous, and that students from universities will go on to make important contributions. This is a vital statement for universities to make.

🎶“We’re in the money!” 🎶 Even with fewer imports, new tariffs are expected to rake in around $700 billion a year for the govt, according to Capital Economics. That’s a lot of zeroes! Now… where do we think all that cash is actually going? #FollowTheMoney #TariffTsunami #ChaChing #TrumpTanksEconomy

Frying pan to the fire - nicely done.

Jan 6 worked well for MAGA; DNC maybe try something like that :-) The cute signs were cute. Trump/Musk are totally worried now.

Yeah pink is such a stronger response than purple was

ignorance is bliss

Let it burn baby burn :-(

LOL That is pretty optimistic.

lol It is only the 3rd circle of hell - you will escape

Well, I don't entirely disagree, the authors miss the importance of how information is shared & process. Rather than focusing on podcasts (aren't those dead yet), things like memes, which are easy to digest & circulate are more powerful. "building" a media infrastructure only took MAGA 2 decades.

You are aware that some of the greatest monster movies arose in times of fascism

I literally don’t know what to do, except donate to ACLU but unclear if courts will rule against the president

I felt betrayed by our president.

An egg food cart - it would be so EGGcelent

Update from USA SW: a __mere__ 110 miles from the Mexico/USA border, stopped by Border Patrol about citizenship. #USAPoliceState #ThisIsNotAPoliceState

Update from the USA SW: There was no one at the gate of a National Park/Monument today - if you're cheap, a good time to discover America (before it disappears). Downside for the govt - saw at least 30 cars go through for free.
