"The long day wanes: the slow moon climbs: the deep
Moans round with many voices. Come, my friends,
'T is not too late to seek a newer world."

We need not always mourn what is dying.

Fairly erudite. More than fairly iconoclastic.

The default position of the democratic coalition has to be this:

Everyone. Gets. To. Be. Free.

Everyone.

We do not throw members of our coalition to the fashy wolves.
We do not concede that some state-sanctioned bigotry is okay.

Nope.
None of that shit.

We. All. Get. To. Be. Free.

That's it.

America has 925 billionaires as of this year. Collectively they have a record $6.9 trillion in wealth.

The bottom 50% of Americans control $4.2 trillion in wealth.

When 925 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

I remember the phrase "they can't be allowed to melt back into society" re: the de-Baathification of Iraq after the war there. Like everything about that experience, the attempt was cynical, stupid, and botched. But there really should be a plan about what we do with guys like these in the future.
ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.

Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.

"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.

"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

Like, from a geological or meteorological perspective, none of Westeros makes any fucking sense, and I can't get past how rivers flow uphill from seaside marshes to the opposite side of a continent, or how storms systems don't hit deserts surrounded by ocean, or how the North has no mineral wealth.

Lord of the Rings: "The orcs are just tortured elves."
Also Lord of the Rings: "Orcs are ugly and elves beautiful."

Me: "Then why are there so many orcs and so few elves? Like, elves live forever, but they'll have, like, one kid in twenty thousand years? At least the orcs figured out how to fuck."

In addition to Death and Taxes, there's another constant in the universe:

Administrators who don't understand the organizations they stupidly lord over, and who mistake their own ignorance of others' work for its superfluity.

Everyone Musk doesn't like: "We were all fucking fine before you showed up, Thieving Asshole Who Ain't Fucking From Here."

Elon Musk doesn't get to bemoan the collapse of American culture.

He's not fucking from here, and he himself is fucking causing it.

I still assert that the most important takeaway from "Die Hard" is that you should never, ever, ever take off your shoes in a public place.

A huge fuck-you-forever to everyone still trying to pretend that AI slop is inevitable and that we should just embrace an existence drowned in poorly-made bullshit.

I like this idea.
A smarter model for paying for college: income-based repayment. You start paying your student loans only once you earn enough to comfortably get by. That turns higher ed debt into something more like a tax surcharge on success, not a choke collar on people who are struggling.

The current DOJ must be wiped clean and entirely replaced.

No one who works for this criminal cabal can be allowed to stay.
Axios has learned the White House has begun managing the DOJ's account on X to respond to posts highlighting mentions of Trump in the Epstein files.

In typical administrations, there is a wall between the White House and what is supposed to be an independent Justice Department.

The White House has begun managing the DOJ's account on X, an effort to finish out the year and the Epstein file disclosure requirements set by Congress.

You know how serial killers keep trophies from their victims? This is the same thing and Epstein had them all over his home for all to see.
🧵These stomach-churning photos were framed and put on display at Epstein's home on Epstein Island, where Trump flew to at least 8 times.

Epstein kissing and cuddling little girls.

It's why the DOJ redacted NYC grand jury files.

Below are the horrid details, including the actual grand jury file.

We need to confront the fact that America is a society that celebrates and protects child-rapists.

If we want that to change, we have to make it change.

Worth repeating this with every new Epstein document drop. The party of Denny Hastert is the party of Jim Jordan is the party of Matt Gaetz is the party of Donald Trump. Looking the other way and protecting child predators from the law is their brand.
