NEW: For the last several months, I have written and spoken regularly about the rise of authoritarianism in the United States. This is not something I ever envisioned for myself — and it is certainly not something my ancestors envisioned for their great grandchildren.

I just voted against a GOP bill that gives up Congress's power over spending.

Instead of working with Democrats to stop premiums from DOUBLING next year, Republicans are sending us straight into a shutdown—and pushing bills to give up their own power and hand it over to Trump.

MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome) is a common comorbid with Long Covid and EDS.

Your mast cells are everywhere, and in MCAS they misbehave.

The result? You’re effectively allergic to everything and nothing all at once:

Empires decline all the time, for all kinds of reasons, but our present moment will be remembered in history books for the sheer volume of *voluntary & pointless self-imposed damage*. We're systematically dismantling what made us great, for no reason! Genuinely, with no rationale! It's wild.

In her 1990 divorce deposition, Trump’s first wife, the late Ivana Trump, accused Trump of having assaulted her, including pulling out handfuls of her hair, pushing her to the floor, and raping her.
Trump minimizes domestic abuse during a talk at the Museum of the Bible: "Things that take place in the home, they call crime ... If a man has a little fight with the wife, they say this was a crime, see?"

For most Americans, the date 1913 means nothing. For Americans on the far right fringes, 1913 has long been a date of great significance. Here’s a piece from the antisemitic rag “American Mercury” in 1957, for example. One of their writers at the time was George Lincoln Rockwell.
