I seem to be reading a book by Michael Crichton isn’t he dead?

A lot of the far right want us blue states to secede and we would love to but they would lose money in federal support so they won’t let that happen. Will it be civil war? At this point so many things have happened that I never would have believed a few years ago.

Me talking to an old friend about where we are going to move after the election.

Today's Low Quality Facts are brought to you by this passport holder. I'd advise everyone to make sure their passport is somewhere safe in case they need to flee the country, since apparently the president can now just decide to have you killed for no apparent reason. www.amazon.com/dp/B09DTD4XJ...

New TIME magazine cover

I stopped watching #cnn years ago, during the Ferguson protests when their reporters were targeting freelance photographers and streamers and siccing the cops on them. There was other bullshit. Cable news sucks. I didn't watch the car crash last night. I would stop watching them again if I could.

I want to live in a world where you can be fired at will but where you are also required to have employment before anyone will be able to help you to pay for food or rent, where it is easy to evict people but it is against the law to be homeless.

If you add all their decisions this week together, what the Supreme Court is arguing is that homeless people should stop being homeless by bribing public officials and committing securities fraud.

Trump said the wildest, most insane, psychotic bilious shit imaginable and he *did* sound more coherent than Biden. That’s how disastrous it was for Biden.

The bad news is that we seem to be entering the summer COVID wave. The good news is that hospitalizations and deaths remain lower than they were last year.

Back in the 90s, my stepfather sold software used in Atlantic City casinos. After he finished a big installation at one of Trump’s casinos, the Trump Organization refused to pay the balance. So all those fraud stories hit home. My stepfather’s response: “fine, I’m turning this all off.” They paid.

Literally every contractor who's ever worked for Trump has a story about getting stiffed. It's the sort of thing, like his cheating at golf, that would be an automatic disqualifier among Forgotten Men and Local Diner Patrons if they really believed half the bullshit they said.

About to go gather with family for Juneteenth. Have a great day!

So when you hear these present-day secessionists talking about an independent Texas, know that they're evolving a "glorious legacy" of a fifth-column movement of proslavery landgrabbers and oathbreakers, one that had disastrous consequences for both Blacks and Natives in the long run.
