Harlan Crow and a few other GOP megadonors have provided Clarence Thomas with:

-38 destination vacations

-26 private jet flights

-6 helicopter flights

-Yacht voyages

Still wondering why SCOTUS approval ratings have hit record lows?

@rbreich I think it's probably got something to do with 20% of the court basically stealing their positions as well and seemingly having no problem with it.

Enshittification describes how platforms go bad, which is also how the internet goes bad, because the internet is made of platforms, which is weird, because platforms are intermediaries and we were promised that the internet would disintermediate the world:

The biggest challenge in 2024 is to get enough people to actually listen to what Trump and those around him are openly, consistently, and explicitly promising to do once they get back to power.

It is utterly deranged, and discounting it as just rhetoric would be a disaster.

@tzimmer_history npr literally has an article up today that's basically "he's probably just exaggerating. You can't believe anything that wacky fun guys says" https://www.npr.org/2024/02/12/1230950457/trump-nato-haley-south-carolina-primary-rubio-gop-lawmakers
