These three horsemen of the MAGA-tech-bro apocalypse are in the position of penthouse dwellers who think their top floor apartment doesn't rest on all the floors underneath... www.meditationsinanemergency.com/no-one-knows...
No One Knows How This Will End (But I Do Not Think It Will End Well for Them)
I can sum up the Trump/Musk/Vance theory of power in five words: "We have power; you don't." Alternative version in six words: "we can do anything we want." They seem to believe that nothing is really...

I don't WANT to preach this morning -- JD Vance is not a serious person, he lacks the intellectual chops to do this kind of work, so rewarding his thirst with response is undignified -- but the Spirit demands at least a brief bit of sermonizing

I know you hate this advice. I know you hear it all the time, but for gods sake you need to be calling your congressperson. Now. Today.
If you have a GOP representative, you need to call and ask if they approve of stripping congress of its constitutional authority. If they like being powerless.

#StDistaffsDay (also k/as Rock or Roc Day) follows the Feast of the Epiphany (6th January). Traditionally, it was the day when women would return to their household chores after the Twelve Days of Christmas. The Distaff or Roc was used for spinning and symbolic of medieval women's work.

Trying to be consistent with this Substack thing and write weekly. Thanksgiving and the upcoming MS Supreme Court run-off are on my mind. It's a super important race. Please take a minute to read and share if you can: open.substack.com/pub/sumatith...
