As a historian and queer lefty who normally isn't very optimistic about the American people, I've actually got a lot more positive outlook on the fascist resurgence being defeated decisively at the end of four years. Like, actual real hope. But it'd take too long to explain. So, instead...

Cannot stress enough that this is a pitiful action by a weak, scared, pathetic group of insecure, wannabe authoritarians, and they should be mocked until the end of time for wanting to bring in the military over some people protesting them at a Home Depot.
they're doing this because the Insurrection Act sounds cool and edgy but they can't actually justify using the Insurrection Act. it's a silly action by an insecure administration desperately to seem manly and powerful. it should be criticized relentlessly, but it should also be laughed at.
Which makes me think that this is an effort to claim the insurrection act’s power without invoking the insurrection act’s authority. None of this is necessary, at all, and the governor should say so.

I don't support any taxpayer money going toward life-saving healthcare for Trump supporters, but thankfully I'm not allowed to make that decision.
Trump supporters should not be allowed to retract life-saving healthcare from their political enemies, either.

Early infighting between anti-fascist factions is pretty common. Quite a few of them have still managed to form successful coalitions and win.
If anti-Trump folks are going to squabble and infight, now is probably the absolute best time. Better to get it worked out as soon as possible.

A while ago, someone on here (I think @scottbot.bsky.social?) compared the way a lot of people treat GenAI now to the way people treated radium in the 1920s and 30s (ooh, let's put it in a health tonic! toothpaste! haemorrhoid cream!). I think about that a lot.
This was just posted by @tbretc.bsky.social on another platform. The Chicago Sun-Times obviously gets ChatGPT to write a ‘summer reads’ feature almost entirely made up of real authors but completely fake books. What are we coming to?

At this point, I'm just angry that people as stupid as Trump and Noem have the ability to go through life not understanding how stupid they are. If there were any justice in the world, they'd be put in a room and told how stupid they were 24/7 until it finally sunk into their stupid heads.

I'm self-conscious about my creative work and never think it's good enough, so I haven't promoted my first solo product much. But I guess I might as well.

I really want to talk about non-political stuff more, but whenever I get talking about tabletop RPGs, I just babble endlessly.
So, anyway, I'm playing the Ys series video games for the first time since I played Ys 3 on the SNES. Beat the 1-2 remakes, playing 3 remake, have Origins to play later.

Genuinely baffled about why pundits on both sides are upset about the Qatar plane and taking a stand after ignoring dozens of other blatant acts of corruption.
Like, why? What the hell? Crypto scams, selling Tesla on the White House lawn, etc, was fine with them. But this stupid plane matters?

🧵 I am not a political scientist nor a historian. I am not especially learned nor wise. But there is a basic bit of civics that seems to have been forgotten.
Many of the protests against the current regime in the US are framed as:
"It's illegal. There must be rule of law," or
1/11
