We see Trump's amoral lawyers front and center. But there are many, many more who were and are not willing to carry water for this corrupt administration.04 Apr 2026 04:49 +0000at://did:plc:2wacbfkvjd42lmqzhylyldf5/app.bsky.feed.post/3mingobxr722chttps://bsky.app/profile/dremhaliday.bsky.social/post/3mimeqnue2k2pIf indeed, the federal government stopped funding Medicare and Medicaid, on the theory that this is the states' responsibility, where would the states get the money?

I just ran across this articulation of this idea, which I realize is one of the underpinnings of my approach to life. But many of us organize our lives around avoiding suffering. I wonder, does this undermine our capacity for morality?07 Mar 2026 20:17 +0000at://did:plc:2wacbfkvjd42lmqzhylyldf5/app.bsky.feed.post/3mginip7rrc2ohttps://bsky.app/profile/dremhaliday.bsky.social/post/3mg6awe2ap22bSidney Blumenthal's take on the adolescent name for the Iran operation ("Operation Epic Fury"): "Operation Epstein Fury."03 Mar 2026 17:06 +0000at://did:plc:2wacbfkvjd42lmqzhylyldf5/app.bsky.feed.post/3mg6awe2ap22bhttps://bsky.app/profile/dremhaliday.bsky.social/post/3mg6arjnvus2bAccording to The Guardian, "the justice department contacted at least 43 states demanding comprehensive voter details, including sensitive information such as partial social security numbers, and sued 29 mostly Democratic states and the District of Columbia for refusing to provide those lists."03 Mar 2026 17:03 +0000at://did:plc:2wacbfkvjd42lmqzhylyldf5/app.bsky.feed.post/3mg6arjnvus2bhttps://bsky.app/profile/dremhaliday.bsky.social/post/3mfzwk7ing22oI cancelled my Amazon Prime today in my continuing effort to #ResistAndUnsubscribe.
