Here’s why I think the blow up costumes work: The fascist rhetoric is that the protests are “I hate America” rallies filled with “terrorists” that will “cheer for chaos instead of country” and impossible to hide images of joy and togetherness and generally being silly decimates their propaganda.

I’m glad they’re here, at least.
I had this intense moment of grief today for young people, specifically those in their 20s, who have spent the entirety of it living under the specter of Trump, Covid, or both.

This thing where notes and notepad apps have autocorrect is nonsense. Please stop. I said what I said and if I made a mistake, that’s my problem.

This puppy is not feeling well and I am sorry for her… and also wishing she’d waited just one more day, at least. Today is the first day for 2 weeks that I’m the only human in the house, which means the only one with thumbs to open doors and clean up messes.

“some guys eating hummus”???
Tucker Carlson compares Kirk and Jesus. Jesus he said, was killed because „some guys eating hummus“ suggested it to shut him up. Just like with Jesus, killing him only advanced his cause, is Carlson‘s message. (The livestream has now been going on for 6 hours)

fascism maintains power by making everyone too scared to fight back but the truth is there's only a few of them and most of the stuff they're threatening is logistically impossibly at scale. they'll make examples and count on that to cow the rest. Not fighting back is the only way to lose though.

This dog cannot sit from a down and it’s the funniest thing. She has to like walk away and come back. I’ve heard of this but never seen it in practice and I feel almost bad. She just cannot grasp the concept of sitting up.

It’s long past time that I take responsibility for what I wrote on Israel/Palestine in ON REPENTANCE AND REPAIR.

It’s been a pretty intense week here. Check out Val’s latest article.
Hell of a piece to have written Tuesday night. My newest piece in @slate.com follows up on my August piece, looking at the right-wing anti-trans ideology and how that leads us into a rapid descent towards out and out fascism.
The Bullets That Killed Charlie Kirk Were Not Engraved With “Trans Ideology.” But That Won’t Stop the Campaign to Brand Trans People as Violent Monsters.
Now is the time to resist this dangerous strategy, before it’s too late.

Sure love writing a story drawing parallels between the right's treatment of transgender people and the German descent into Naziism that was meant to go up yesterday afternoon 🙃
