This scrum of pot-bellied, sunken-chested betas trying to bully an all-black clad badass Eastern European wasteland survivor while dressed like Men’s Wearhouse mannequins is peak cinema.
GLENN: Why don't you wear a suit? You're at the highest level in this country's office & you refuse to wear a suit. A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting the office.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.
Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.

Want to boycott companies that support Trump (and therefore Project 2025) and find alternate companies to buy products from?
This seems an excellent site:

I’d prefer if I could filter out their senior employees’ contributions, but this is still super easy to use.

Excellent advice on not being swept away by the overload of awful coming out of the White House. Wise friend summed it up: 1. pick a few key issues to focus on so you don’t risk just reacting and being scattered and overwhelmed. 2. Follow facts and trusted analysis. 3. Support each other.

1 of 2: Using Lists: Not sure if this is "right" way to do it:
I've stopped using "follow" for sources that I want to look at sometimes, but not all the time. (politics, science, tech, music/guitar, etc).
Instead, I am now trying out putting these sources in different lists, grouped by topic.
