Links to things I found interesting but didn't want to do a full blog post about. My apologies for the all-politics content this week but these articles are important. Maybe I'll do another post later in the week with some non-political content.

- I am nonbinary. The gender that no longer officially exists in the United States. A BlueSky thread by author Annalee Newitz about what it means to have your gender erased by your government.
- The End of North America. "Trump pulls the trigger on tariffs. .... And to think that many people imagined that Trump would be good for business."
- Did you hear about the Friday coup? "Elon Musk is in control." Where is the mainstream press? This should be being reported with 72-point, front-page headlines. Coup is not too strong a word. Study your history if you don't think so.

- Letters from an American: February 1, 2025. The group that serves President Donald Trump is gutting the government both to get revenge against those who tried to hold him accountable before the law and to make sure he and his cronies will never again have to worry about legality."
- These Clowns are Economic Illiterates. "Trump treats tariffs like a toddler treats a new word, repeating it endlessly without grasping its meaning in his stained, clutching hands."
- The Logic of Destruction. "And how to resist it." An important read from the author of On Tyranny and On Freedom.
- List of products from the United States subject to 25 per cent tariffs effective February 4, 2025. "Effective February 4, 2025, the government is imposing 25 per cent tariffs on $30 billion in goods imported from the United States (U.S.)." It's a long list.
- The Big-Money Right-Wing Push to Upend the Constitution—and Kill Birthright Citizenship. "We’re in totally uncharted territory." But you don't need a flashlight to see where we are going.
