Update on the update.
#bunnysky thank you for your good vibes for my little guy.
The meds seem to be working; he's a little lower energy still, but the vet did warn that was likely for a week or two.
But he's given me binkies and the occasional zoomies, and look at how handsome he looks!

As a matter of practical reality, the idea that the minute Trump invokes the Insurrection Act all resistance is futile, Trump has won, Game Over is nonsense. That’s just regime propaganda. Let us not perpetuate it. Make them earn every inch of creeping authoritarianism.

You could actually structure your moral code around the idea that law enforcement doesn't exist to execute people. You don't have to create perfect victim narratives, you can just refuse to accept that the state gets to kill people.

There were 3-4 of us out earlier clearing and shoveling sidewalks on our block. We didn't plan it, but we each just kinda... did another neighbor's walks.
I'll probably do it again in the morning, snow is still coming down.

Obscene wealth and unchecked obsequiousness makes you incredibly cowardly and weak.
This is not to valorize poverty; poverty is grinding and punitive and unglamorous. It's not the ideal.
But all these "strong leaders" with soft cushy lives are weak as hell.

Really hard to look at this and all the other examples of bravery and kindness from ordinary people in this moment not think also of the tremendous cowardice exhibited over the past year by some of the richest, most well-protected people in business, media and politics
Let us all have the courage displayed by the residents of Minneapolis.
