Intended Texas border wall
16 September 2026
The intended Texas border wall, purely for completeness' sake, will extend over an area of cliffs and come damagingly close to ancient rock art.
I think it is an exaggeration to compare rock art to "books". To suppose that this rock art image has a precise message encoded in little details, as writing would have, has no factual basis that I know of.
Nonetheless, ancient rock art is precious, because it may convey a not-so-detailed message that would nonetheless be amazing to understand, if someday we can.
Israeli company accused of interfering in Colombia election
16 September 2026
President Petro of Colombia accused the Israeli company Blackcore of interfering in Colombia's presidential election.
I am pretty sure that the US made some sort of vicious secret intervention, because the newly elected? president is a magat.
Finland progress towards eliminating homelessness
16 September 2026
Finland made great progress towards eliminating homelessness by giving people houses which they could feel was home. Alas, right-wing government has cut some of the spending and is driving homelessness back up.
Supposed Intelligence safety
16 September 2026
The companies that develop Supposed Intelligence (specifically, LLMs) want us to put them in charge of making the systems "safe", by giving them absolute control over what the systems will do (and what they won't do).
The systems are really dangerous, but we cannot trust the companies that develop them to protect us from them. Their interest is to mix more and more subjugation of the public into any protection of the public.
Historically, whenever companies get power over what people's computing facilities can do, they use it against us, building malicious functionalities, designed to benefit them, into the software they invite us to use.

The law should require that if the book is in the public domain, its scanned text be published by the Library of Congress. If the book is still in principle copyrighted, the Library of Congress could publish an offer to pay the copyright holder a reasonable sum for permission to publish it for gratis download. If there is no response in a few months, it could release the scan anyway.

US citizens: call on the Department of Hostile Savagery to keep the deportation thugs away from our polling places.
A Republican gubernatorial candidate in Maine said he would invite deportation thugs to come to Maine's polling places to intimidate and perhaps terrorize voters. Citizens who are immigrants have the right to vote, but they may be scared away by deportation thugs anyway, knowing that those do not respect laws or court orders.

Urgent: Stop wrecker demolishing the Kennedy Center

US citizens: call on your congresscritter and senators to stop the wrecker from demolishing the Kennedy Center.
See the instructions for how to sign this letter campaign without running any nonfree JavaScript code--not trivial, but not hard.
Here's the letter I sent:
I urge quick action to protect the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts from demolition by trumpet toadies.
First they wanted to put the corrupter's name on it. When a court blocked that, they threatened to demolish it. Both are ways of ruining it, thus proving that nothing clean is strong enough to stand against the corrupter.
Thus, more than a performance center is at stake. Congress must take this threat seriously and stop it from happening.
You can prohibit taxpayer dollars from financing demolition, but we all know that alone is likely not enough. Please do whatever it takes to protect it. You can change the powers of the board, who can be on it, or how big it is. You can even abolish the Kennedy Center board if needed.
Or you could ban complete or partial demolition or major building work.
Sincerely,

Global heating
13 September 2026
Global heating is an intentional outrage, not a natural calamity.
It is being done to us knowingly.
Law of war
13 September 2026
The US has participated since the Revolutionary War in efforts to curb the worst excesses of war. The sadist has declared his total opposition to that goal.
The US has not always lived up to that stated intention. The distribution of disease-laden blankets to indigenous people is one extreme example. We must recognize that the US has many wrongs to be ashamed of, even as it has many admirable traits to be proud of.
Comparing US history to the future that the sadist and his magats desire shows how vicious he and they are.
Pentagon journalists blacklist

Election deniers running for office
13 September 2026
* Republicans who deny Joe Biden won the 2020 election are running for governor and secretary of state across the US.*
Each state's secretary of state is in charge of that state's elections. A secretary of state who endorses lies about recent past elections is likely to try to rig future elections.
It is clear that magats are organizing to eliminate honest elections in the US.
Voting Rights Act

Fire near Reno
13 September 2026
A wind-driven fire near Reno, Nevada is spreading so fast that it is hard for people to evacuate fast enough to get away. It is even spreading across fire trucks, carried I suppose by blowing embers.
This is part of the consequences of global heating, and if we don't curb greenhouse emissions fast, fire will become a frequent danger.
"Divisive" progressives
13 September 2026
Ever since most Democratic officials abandoned New Deal-style support for the non-rich, environmental protection, climate defense, and equal rights, the candidates who seek to return the party to those causes have been tarred as "divisive".
We can't make the US livable for non-rich Americans by electing politicians who serve mainly the elites. Better to have a division over these issues than to ignore them.
Millions in India stripped of vote
13 September 2026
*Millions in India stripped of vote before critical state election, as government seeks to "purify" electoral roll.*
The BJP passed two laws, a decade ago, with the combined effect of denying citizenship to Indian Muslims who lacked certain documentation for their ancestors. Hindus were not required to produce that documentation, only Muslims.
Climate studies shut down
13 September 2026
*[The saboteur's henchmen have] shut down more than 100 climate studies.*
The long-term plan may be to prevent the education of future climate scientists in the US. Since the saboteur in chief, and his billionaire oligarchs, reject the results of climate scientists, and they know (though they won't admit it) that climate scientists all warn about the danger of global heating, they would see no reason for climate research to be done or for anyone to think about it.
