The dipshits who can't stop leaking government secrets via tweets and signal chats are utterly mystified by the god-like coordination efficiency of two moms who have had to organize a bake sale.

They’re gathering data so they can cook any ‘election’ by bribing or compromising officials. Sadly for them, they don’t understand that elections are really run by elderly ladies with nerves of steel and nothing to lose.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Spoiler: abusive people & institutions will get angry & retaliatory when you don't give them the obedience, fear, &/or forgiveness they feel entitled to.
Yes, their anger can be realistically dangerous & consequential-- which calls for a plan, not a surrender.

I don't like to talk about stories before they are fully reported, but I am writing on ICE in a Minnesota town that isn't Minneapolis. However bad you think it is, it is worse. It is a campaign of pure terror whose only strategic goal is more terror. There is no strategy other than to break people.
