I may as well introduce myself, as I tend to be a listener/lurker and probably won’t post much as much as share and occasionally comment. I’m a middle-aged, cis/white dude, living in the Bay Area/CA bubble. Professional musician, software developer. Probably neurodivergent.

The most depressing lesson of the Trump era is that scandals don’t matter if the perpetrator and their supporters don’t feel shame.
Shamelessness is now a political superpower.

It seems a few Leftists are now discovering for the first time that the radical Right is also anti-establishment, and so if you squint at a few of its positions, from a tiny angle, they can kinda sound like our own. Don't get too excited! Learn about the 'three-way fight'

along with the heinous literal crimes i think a lot about how there's a kind of moral, national crime in subjecting all of us to this, to this consuming our politics, committed against us by a number of powerful and connected people up to and including the president

Democratic party leadership has been on autopilot for ten years, they weren't losing to fascism, fascism isn't popular enough for them to lose to fascism, they were allowing it to fill the void where their leadership should have been. Tonight we're seeing that we have other options. They should too.

The whole point of democracy is so one person's derangement does not become everybody's problem. It's social hygiene. The fact the richest men in the West are a mix of grotty twelve year olds and deranged apocalypse fanatics is a problem, and we should be honest about it.

The “but that’s illegal” crowd is going to find out soon what those of us on the academic and research side have been saying for months is true in that you cannot “legally” fight a legal fascist framework when countering fascism is seen as terrorism and illegal

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

To be clear for those of you chomping for the American Years of Lead, this greatly increases your personal chances of dying in random political violence.
It will not be a heroic, meaningful death.
It will be meaningless, forgotten, and fade into the background noise of a society in free fall.

New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!

IMO people going to immigration hearings should be accompanied by friends in ICE outfits to look like they're already in custody--go to their hearings, determine the outcome, then leave with "ICE," the friends who will see them safely home.
