My God, I feel this post as much as any I have read in the last month
The cognitive dissonance of getting up every morning and making coffee and walking the dog and going to meetings and answering emails and wondering what to make for dinner while there is a real live actual coup d’etat happening is BONKERS

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.

I wake up as always, every day after November 5th, frankly stunned at the short sightedness of American voters. Most of them have no idea what they’ve wrought. My guess is only a small percentage of Americans are actual, knowing fascists. Most just don’t know basic things about government.

A must read for these times.
The Handmaid's Tale is a good book. But did you know that there's a book written by a Black woman about a post-apocalyptic Earth heavily affected by climate change and societal decline. The book was published in 1993, but is set in 2024 following a presidential election 👀 #BookSky #BlackBookSky
