Our country’s karma is playing out. If you need me, I’ll be here knitting my list. Meanwhile, go catch up with everything Sarah has ever written, and maybe you’ll feel a little less panicky knowing that none of this chaos is at all surprising.
The situation is far worse than it was nine years ago, thanks to Israel's own lifelong nukes obsession, the fanatical Kahanist turn of the Israeli Parliament, and Congress's complicity. A nightmare scenario I've long feared may be coming.

I am against an Iran War more than I can express.

Just in case anyone wants a reminder of how Trump helped create the situation he's now using as justification to bomb Iran. abcnews.go.com/Politics/ira...
What was in the Iran nuclear deal and why did Trump withdraw the US from it?
Known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, or JCPOA, the deal followed two years of negotiations during the Obama administration.

He’s an even less continent low-rent Logan Roy. Answering what would have happened if Sonny Corleone had lived. He makes Harvey Keitel look like a pretty good lieutenant.
President Trump has personally ordered the Justice Department to open an investigation of Democrats' primary ways for raising donations.

It is the third time he has personally ordered an open-ended criminal investigation, each against a perceived political foe.

Wait a minute did the “attorney” general just say the days of crime without consequence are over while serving at the whim of a prolific felon? I guess she did.

I can’t stand how hard some people are trying to miss what Kendrick Lamar said TO TFG’s FACE. Meanwhile Maya May gets a follow, and thank you, Ma’am.
The MAGA agenda relies on fear and chaos. So when Kendrick Lamar uses a platform as big as the Super Bowl halftime show to say no, we are not afraid, that, in fact, we are a collective moving with a common purpose, it’s a direct hit to what MAGA needs to survive.

Usually I’m a couple sentences in before experiencing a wave of gratitude, relief, and energy from Sarah Kendzior’s writing. Here’s no exception. Thank you, fellow midwesterner.

I understand the satisfaction people might feel at the concept of TFG-worshiping Jenner getting deadnamed, hoisted on their own petard and everything, but really, that ain’t it.

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public.

He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit.

Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

2025:
1. Finish the book and figure out how to sell it.
2. Get out of the house when not panic-writing #1 and see more musician friends play.
3. Stop being a chicken and go ahead and put out some potentially unlistenable music of my own.

What about you?
