My parents were told that if Trump won, he would destroy my life, and my livelihood. He would make life for trans people impossible, particularly for our trans son. They knew if he won, were would leave, and they would never see us again.
They did it anyway
Still have no idea why we wrote them off

An annual reminder:
The cognitive & emotional toll of staying in contact with abusive family can be both significant & difficult to recognize.
There's a kind of social contract that abusive parents have violated. You owe them nothing. Nothing.
Thanksgiving doesn't change that.

I see a lot of people wringing their hands over shameless clown + white nationalist Steve Bannon insisting that Trump will serve a third term. And I get it. Folks are so traumatized and rattled regarding the past 10 years that they're letting him get under their skin.
Don't. Here's why.

Everyone knew about Sean “Diddy” Combs. Everyone knew about R. Kelly, Harvey Weinstein, Bill Cosby, and Jeffrey Epstein. Everyone knew about Donald Trump. I’m so tired of people protecting rich perverts, keeping their dark secrets for decades. So damn tired.

State AGs have released a video saying that they "will do whatever it takes" to protect trans people in their states.
While the message is admirable, they need to take the one step they have not yet:
Sue the hospitals that capitulate to Trump, violating state law.

We're witnessing the most aggressive, fanatical crackdown on free speech in my lifetime. The speed and breadth of government censorship and private sector and nonprofit capitulation has been astonishing. As has the lack of urgency/silence from people who've long claimed to care about this stuff.

The thing to emphasize here is that this treatment is *utterly normal.* It's part of the system of detention which has existed for decades. Folkston has been like this for many, many years,

This whole thread, right to the end, is exactly where I’m at. Also no fun at parties.
I don’t know how to be around so many friends who—to my mind and I deeply hope I am wrong—seem so in denial about the totality of what both Trump and AI augur for any hope of a stable, much less just, society.

Republicans sure are pulling out all the stops to wield the government against Texas Democrats. Warrants, FBI, court processes. Not a second wasted. Goes to show that if they *wanted* to bring Epstein's clients to justice, they could. They just don't want to.

Jerome Powell fact-checking Donald Trump’s lies in real time is an unexpected delight.
Trump: It looks like it’s about $3.1 billion
Powell: I’m not aware of that.
Trump: It just came out
Powell: You just added in a third building
Trump: It’s a building that’s being built
Powell: It was built five years ago.

Excellent book!
Alaska folks, this book is on Libby with a local library card. The more folks on the hold list, the more likely they are to buy more digital licenses.
There are physical copies available at multiple library branches in AK. If your local branch doesn't have it, you can ask for it!

My book HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT was published in 2020. It has the Trump/Epstein court files in it and a history of their joint transnational mafia ties. For five years, I have heard from former Trump voters who said this book -- specifically the Epstein documents -- changed their minds about him.

Tucked away in the 'One Big Beautiful Bill' is the requirement that all visitors to the US must pay $250 just to enter the country starting 1 October! For a family of 5 that's $1250! I doubt this will help America's crashing tourism business which is down 10% already since January
