I don't think pointing out the fascists' 'hypocrisy' is a good use of time. It's not hypocrisy, it's hierarchy. They actually do believe that they have the right and obligation to dominate you because they are superior to you. They are using their power not being hypocritical.

It seems like we're experiencing a sort of rerun of the political violence of the 1960s—except this time we have the internet cooking everyone's brains. None of this leads anywhere good.

A reminder that every small bit of good you do - whether it be putting art into the world, helping a friend or stranger, donating to a good cause, or just listening to someone who needs to vent - offsets all the evil in the world just a little bit. And sometimes that's just what the world needs.

I see the already historically unpopular president is exploring how to get the military invovled in “assisting” local law enforcement just a few weeks before the real shortages caused by his inept economic policy start hitting. Probably nothing to worry about.

The term that makes sense to me is "evangelical capitalists." They believe if you can afford something you deserve it no matter how you got the money and if you can't buy it you don't deserve it, even food & medicine, no matter what external forces prevent you from having the money.
"It is no exaggeration to say this will kill people—mainly people who are elderly, disabled and/or poor. Society’s most vulnerable sit in the crosshairs of our nation’s wealthiest people who have absolutely everything, but somehow always want more."

Saw someone say, "End your friendships with people who are going about life like nothing is wrong." I will never understand people who think that further isolating ourselves from everyday people who don't get it is going to save us. It's not. Your judgment and disdain will not save us.

Read history. Oligarchs have owned and controlled our government before. They’ve attacked oppressed groups, gone after migrants, and enacted mass violence against workers who dared resist. But people kept fighting. They organized. They built power. What we need to do is not unprecedented.

Figure out what you want to and can meaningfully contribute your attention and energy to. Focus there. If you want a more well rounded glimpse at what’s going on, you can always check out my must-read article list at the end of most weeks. Remember, breathing in all the ugliness is not activism.

We need an immediate eviction moratorium and emergency rent control in Los Angeles County.

Please call your elected officials (both city and county) and demand this.
