Everyone should have a threshold beyond which they are fully willing to wreak revolution upon their system of government.
Unfortunately I am beginning to suspect that a large number of liberals in the US do not have such a threshold and are willing to submit to anything required to NOT revolt.

If we survive Trump, we'll have stress-tested our systems of education, journalism, government, and economy, and found where the cracks are. Correction. Crevasses. Will we fix them or just say, "Wow. Glad that's over," and change nothing? With the climate crisis worsening, that will be game over.

The year is 2036. Society has still not discovered a single truly good roguelike game but for some reason they keep being made.

The question that should be scaring the living shit out of us is, ‘Who has taken over for Jeffrey Epstein in providing children for sex, torture, and cannibalism?’
Because those sorts of appetites don’t just go away.

Sadly, this is why Democratic leaders needed to act when the iron was hot — to lead, get out on the streets, and mobilize public opinion.
It may now be that their moment has passed and the public has moved on. If so, what a shame; what a lost opportunity.

Sometimes very hard not to feel like the rest of the country has abandoned Minnesota. We STILL have ICE everywhere. Our schools, businesses, and economy are in profound crisis. But without Bovino here throwing tear gas, much of the country seems to not care at all what’s being done to us.

Quick reminder. Russia was allied with the Nazis in 1939. And Russia only won the war on their front because the US supplied them with military material through lend lease.

Listen to this. Not a penny more for this. Abolish and prosecute anyone who had anything to do with it.

Sometimes people will post a question on social media: if you could be any animal, what animal would you be?
I always answer human. Human again. It terrifies me that too many people forget human beings are animals. You can’t forget this, not ever.

Trump now says he didn’t personally post the racist video and that it was done by a staffer. That raises serious questions. If a staffer handled this post, it’s fair to ask which other public statements or posts are actually coming directly from him versus someone on his team.
