I’ve never seen mostly apolitical nice aunties get so radicalized so fast in my life.
Not that these are Trump voters. They aren’t. But they went from soft disapprovers to people who would crawl over broken glass to get rid of all these people.

Much of what's going on is based on selling people a huge lie: that they can only do better if other people do worse. This is not true. We do better when others do better as well. We have strong scientific evidence of this, moral evidence, and trivial evidence, every time someone shares a cat photo.

The letter from Bill and Hillary Clinton to James Comer explaining their refusal to testify in his Epstein investigation is really remarkable, not like any letter of this genre I've seen. It's signed by them, not a lawyer, and the arguments are not legal ones. Reprinted from their X account:

Socialism is what they called public power.
Socialism is what they called social security.
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

I am still, as an adult who pays taxes, paying the costs of those years of my life. I go to the dentist more often than anyone should have to. I have food aversions and anxieties that I would not wish on another soul.

*Good* books. Courtney writes *good* books that you will probably enjoy reading on these distinctly ungood times. Books in which people are warm and gentle and kind with each other and the ending is happy!

the imposter syndrome that comes with being a billionaire must be wild, like you have all this money and you know for a fact it isn't because of your ability, no wonder they actively surround themselves with sycophants, being alone with their thoughts must be torture

utterly depressing that Nixon-level scandals are now a normal Friday night news drop, barely remarked upon, just another day in Trump’s America
Two more career prosecutors fired for refusing to indict NY AG Letitia James because they could not find probable cause to charge her. 🎁

Trump hates to be the object of humor. He understands that humor can be a more powerful antidote to tyranny than any other form of criticism.

As the government shutdown begins, remember that one of the biggest deficit drivers of the past 20 years are Republican tax cuts for the wealthy & corporations. The issue isn't programs that help millions of Americans, it's giveaways to the rich.

There are people who should be making atonement and asking for forgiveness today who absolutely will not and never will and who think that this deficit in their humanity is somehow a virtue.
