if you want to have a nice and relaxing sunday, do not watch the new Hulu documentary on Hurricane Katrina. if you want to shake with rage and anger over the total failure of this nation's government and media establishment, watch the Hulu documentary on Katrina (this is a recommendation)

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving.

There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later.

They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

The point is a simple one. When the foundations of civic democratic America are being systematically gutted by the most reactionary administration at least in modern American history we shld be even less patient than usual with clout chasing lefty pablum making a perverse common cause with reaction.

Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements

Thank you to everyone has reached out to offer kind words of support. I will fearlessly and unapologetically continue to stand up for democracy, no matter what the president says or does.

So the top vaccine official at FDA was pushed out, and the CDC buried an assessment that emphasized the need for vaccines to stop measles.

Here's what I said on the Senate floor just ahead of RFK Jr.'s confirmation vote. No Senator should pretend they didn't see this coming.

1/ I wonder if there's a complement to Mettler's _Submerged State_ thesis: the successful state thesis. In brief: American government has *in many ways* been so successful for so long that Americans have forgotten why they need it, making anti-government rhetoric more appealing.

I think people are extremely on edge, and horrified by how quickly society has slipped into this banal techno-fascism, and scared about how far it will go, and that makes people brittle and impatient, and if I were a better person I would extend grace to people because of that, but, you know, I’m me

Over the last few weeks I've become completely incapable of answering the question 'how are you' like a normal human being. I just sort of end up staring emptily at the person. Like, how the fuck do you think I am? I am full of hate and horror and moral purpose. How are you?

Not being able to talk to a real person at the Social Security Administration when you need help or your local office closing due to staffing cuts is a benefit cut—point blank.

Elon needs to get his hands OFF Social Security.

Repost if you agree.

None of us can be sure what will “work.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never “sure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.

The headline that 21 DOGE staffers have resigned is a little misleading. These were employees of the United States Digital Service, which existed pre-administration and was absorbed into Musk’s team. These aren’t the young idiots; these are actual civil servants.

The mainstream media is the primary actor along with the RNC for the poor state of the world. The occasional good story does not absolve decades of carrying water for lies, misogyny, racism and worse. They marched us into war and Trump and profited with gossipy book deals.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

Ive said this before. Unions have a moment in time to create parallel, Non Profit Trust or Associated Health Plans and
offer them to small to medium size businesses.

Unions can negotiate far better than SMBs or associations .

Imagine if millions got their healthcare from unions ?

Thoughts ?
