Inhumanity “won” the election. We may end up needing community soup kitchens to feed our neighbors. If so, we will make it happen. In each other our strength and resilience lies. Our humanity is our greatest strength. Truth is the sword of justice.

@jeffjarvis.bsky.social is bang on here. We have become gaslit on these anti-democratic tendencies, next level tendencies, and now accept it like it's just another day. It's a slow destructive creep.
Jarvis: His generals called him fascist. Joe Scarborough called him fascist, and now the fascist is in charge and it is journalism's job to cover it that way, not to back off and say okay, well that's it, we lost. Let the fascism happen. No

In the split second I get one iota of hope, someone comes along that I trust and starts in on the apocalyptic crap. I don't know what to think anymore. Some are pointing out things that make me feel better, while others are talking about how we'll never get out of this. Jesus.

Life is only too short if you don't live a full life. Buy the shoes, eat the ice cream, & never stop dancing.

I'm in panic mode now. After impressing to people they need to not panic and fight, I'm in full on panic mode. After 9 days, it's hit me. This sucks.

America, you asked for this. For the next 4 years, we will not trust anything coming from this department. MAGA feel free to follow worm brains. You are now expendable according to your new leadership.

Good news: Twitter is collapsing.

And this chart doesn't even show the last two weeks—which have seen the largest exodus in site history.

There are reports from Newsweek and others that Twitter may merge with Truth Social.

If that happens, the last collapse of Twitter may happen almost overnight.

A thread about feelings stuff around Our New Political Reality™.

First of all, as always:

eat
take your meds
hydrate
tell your people you love them
let them love you back

The first three make an ENORMOUS difference in our capacity to grapple w/ All The Things; the last two are kind of The Point.
