Love this question! 🗃️
Victor Hugo's time & ours have a lot in common. The unfeeling arrogance
& narcissism of the rich. The cruelty & barbarism of the powerful. The suffering of the poor & marginalized.
So, the question. Who are the Victor Hugos of our time? Who are the novelists of his sweep, imagination, & purpose?

(4) Trump and the Republicans don't have an advantage over Democrats because they *better understand heartland Americans.*
They have an advantage over Democrats because they created their own universe of propaganda outlets, and then went out and bought all the mainstream outlets.

In John 6:15, Jesus miraculously feeds 5,000 people and the crowd's so impressed they try to seize Jesus and make him their "king," by force.
But Jesus "withdrew again to a mountain by himself" to avoid their attempt, bc he was not about earthly power.
Jesus = "No Kings."

Tomorrow is Equinox, a day of special consequence for people Charlie Kirk sneered at as “pagans.” Two (of many) options: Join a local Sun-Day event & celebrate solar power; or watch on TV what ought to be a mournful memorial for a fallen comrade turned into yet another venue for Trump‘s vendettas.

Regardless of what part of the political spectrum you’re on, each time you snitch tag someone’s employer, or backchannel the employer about something that displeased you, you are part of an apparatus of surveillance. There is a 100% chance that you, too, will get the business end of that apparatus.
People missing an important point about folks getting fired for whatever they said about Charlie Kirk: Americans are being conditioned to be snitches on their fellow citizens who don’t toe a party line on what is “allowed” to be expressed. And employers are going along. It’s the new secret police
