Trump’s Agents of Idiocracy

Resistance to Trump’s actions isn’t rooted in sour grapes; it’s about protecting the country.

"We are not in an ordinary postelection period of national unity and rapprochement. We are facing the potential abrogation of fundamental American ideals. We stand at the precipice, staring into an abyss that grows darker by the day."

Trump’s Tough Trade Talk Could Damage American Factories

If President-elect Donald J. Trump imposes steep tariffs on Chinese goods, he could harm the people he aims to help — American factory workers.

A rebirth of heavy manufacturing will require careful thought or an existential war.
Trump can get an existential war.
He seems incapable of careful thought.

Man Charged in Gunfire at Pizzeria Cites Fake News of ‘Child Sex Slaves’

Edgar M. Welch was charged with four counts, including felony assault with a deadly weapon and carrying a gun without a license outside a home or business.

"Unbeknown to Mr. Welch, what he had been reading online were fake news articles about Comet Ping Pong, which have swollen in number over time. The false articles against the pizzeria began appearing on social networks and websites in late October, not long before the presidential election, with the restaurant identified as being the headquarters for a child-trafficking ring."

Oakland’s ‘Ghost Ship,’ Site of Fire, Was a Motley Warehouse With a History

The deadly fire in an Oakland warehouse has shed light on an illegal housing boom and prompted questions about whether the building should have been shut down.

Art and craft are not safe.

The perpetrators know it.
