No one is marching in the streets, because Trump hasn’t done anything like declare martial law or anything else to intrude on the everyday lives of the bulk of Americans. He learned that lesson from South Korea. As long as he keeps going after only the marginalized, he’s safe.

Starting to think all those Bond villains who wanted to use their death rays or poison gases or whatever to create a new world order had kind of the right idea.

Back in Twitter jail for calling Catturd “feral swine” whose “kind should be rounded up and slaughtered”. I should probably learn my lesson but I’m not about learning it soon.

Musk has shit on Nigel Farage for UK PM, and Andrew Tate has now declared his official candidacy for PM. I predict a flood of pro-Tate rhetoric will magically crop up on Twitter, and his defense fund in Romania will soon become mysteriously flush. I’m dead serious.

Strength isn’t about never falling—it’s about standing back up with the wisdom of the fall.

It’s time to get real about things. neither Biden nor Harris could ever have defeated Trump. And the majority of people in this country and world do not agree with what is below. Decency and empathy are in the minority.

What would you have to lose before you really rose up against power? Your access to Starbucks and Amazon? Your right to vote?

So, Nosferatu. It’s not horny or a love story. And it eschews most vampire tropes. It’s simply a story of pure good combatting pure evil. It’s what vampire moves should be. Looks like I’ll have to check out the rest of Eggers’ work.

The death row inmates that Biden pardoned—some of whom raped and murdered children—deserve neither forgiveness nor mercy. But maybe it’s not about what they deserve. Maybe showing mercy and ending the cycle of violence even the smallest is more about who we should aspire to be.

I have two questions about socialism:
1. Does it contain a means of preserving peace and stability that doesn’t involve an apparatus of KGB-style state police, gulags, and execution without trial?

Everyone needs to decide how far they can take shutting out the Trump voters in their families. For me, if MAGAt in the clan needs bone marrow and I’m the only match—

We must all do what we feel is right. This is no less true of a minimum wage fast-food worker than of anyone else.

When he’s gone, I doubt that many MAGAts will even mourn him. He was just a means to an end to address their long-simmering hatred’s and resentments. They were using him as much as vice-versa.

If the CEO shooter is smart, he’s in Canada by now. One more lanky guy in a parka isn’t going to stand out up there.

So are we good with this? Murder in broad daylight as a check against corporate greed?

If you saw a horse of MAGAt stomping a trans person or person of color, and you had no way to call for help, what would you do?

What happened last month was a setback, not an eternal defeat. But we all need to look inside ourselves and decide what each of us is willing to do to fight what is coming. History shows that votes and elections have never done it just by themselves. There’s going to be dirty, bloody times ahead.

So Hunter gets a pardon after all. Fine. My focus remains on the fact that Biden ran for reelection in the first place when polling to get 138 electoral votes against Trump. And Harris was NEVER polling ahead. Dem leadership treats all of this like a fucking game, with no heed to the lives affected.
