Somewhere in America, a Survivor-fan mom just discovered that Trump was interrupting her favorite show and is throwing a glass of white zen at the screen

My daughter finished her Santa letter, but she crossed through a lot of things and rewrote parts of it. I suggested she write a cleaner draft.
And then it occurred to me that I was the only audience for this letter and I'm making her rewrite it FOR ME.
I just gave my daughter homework.

When I explain that boycotting an election over an issue has never once forced a politician to embrace that issue, I'm not "scolding people to vote." I'm explaining reality.
Feel free to sit on your ass! Just don't pretend that your lazy apathy is somehow going to advance your agenda.

Y'all remember how a bunch of people died in a plane crash in Pennsylvania to prevent a terrorist attack? Remember what that plane's likely target was?

You may as well get used to seeing this picture everywhere. It will be in history books, on t-shirts, album covers, protest signs. There is a clear villain and a clear victim and if you have any trouble whatsoever sorting those out then perhaps it's time to sort out your conscience.
![Text that reads,
Rev. David Black, Pastor, 1st Presbyterian Chicago: "I extended my arms, palms outreached towards the ICE officers, in a traditional Christian posture of prayer and blessing. Without any warning [...] I was fired upon by ICE officers. In rapid fire I was hit 7 times on my arms, face, and torso with exploding pellets that contained some kind of chemical agent. It was clear to me that the officers were aiming for my head, which they struck twice."
Below that, a photograph of that very scene: ICE officers in military fatigues and obscuring masks fire point- blank at a clergyman in traditional clerical garb. Rev. Black's face is contoured in pain as the photograph captures him mid-fall.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:3ewutsyuyzbwhvt4ppeoced5/bafkreihs6yd7a2aycgcate27o3ajrwn5r7hh2nzfbkgomhigkrhnxvpxlm@jpeg)

What do people think about giving working class Americans a $2000 tariff relief check for the unfair tax that has driven their grocery and housing prices up?

If you're sitting around waiting to be Raptured, it's because you're lazy and you want God to solve all your problems for you. You're not willing to do the work that real prayer and real faith requires. You want to be a martyr without the trouble of dying.

They have control over the levers of power, but they don't have the culture. They're not cool. They want to be loved, and they equate criticism with treason. They've "got" everything, but they also want to make sure that there's no mechanism for them to lose it.

Bad headline: "ABC pulls Jimmy Kimmel off air ‘indefinitely’ over Charlie Kirk comments"
Good headline: "ABC bows to government pressure to pull Jimmy Kimmel off air ‘indefinitely’"
Kimmel did not criticize Kirk. He said his death was being exploited and implied the killer was pro MAGA

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.
