I've got no time for folks taking to their fainting couches because Joe Biden pardoned Hunter. He allowed the process to play out until Trump was elected & appointed a hit squad who promised to pursue Hunter relentlessly. Bill Clinton & George Bush both pardoned relatives & the world didn't end.

The House majority will be small, and Republicans hold fewer than 60 seats in the Senate while the filibuster still exists. Public pressure can be used to derail a lot of MAGA's agenda over the next two years.
Do not obey in advance. Fight.

Many of us are echoing @timothysnyder.bsky.social's lesson in On Tyranny, "Do not obey in advance.”
A no less vital admonition that deserves attn:
STAND OUT
“...without that unease, there is no freedom. The moment you set an example, the spell of the status quo is broken, and others will follow."

Just my 2 cents. But my goal is to ignore the trolls. Give them zero attention. Block them if they annoy me.
I think the worst thing we can do on this site is re-create the ad hominem/ personal attacks that occur across comments on Twitter/insta/tiktok/ etc

Stop talking about how Matt Geatz is a sexual predator. MAGA likes that part. Start talking about how he’ll seek revenge on Republicans for telling us he’s a pedo.

It's kind of nice here at 2 am. The notifications are manageable and the house is quiet. I belong in bed, but it's nice to breathe and be grateful.
