I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

Happening Now in Boise, Idaho. The pics don’t capture the size of this crowd.
The diversity of this protest is stunning: grizzled old veterans and farmers, rednecks, lots of childless cat ladies, purple-haired Gen Zs, tattooed biker dudes
We’re here to push the wheels of democracy back into gear.

“Who derives joy from that?” I’d caution not to ask questions you won’t like the answers to.
Musk: I mean, have you Tim Walz, who is a huge jerk, running on stage with the Tesla stock price.. What an evil thing to do. What a creep, what a jerk. Like who derives joy from that?

The country is presently being run by over the hill frat boys. Periodt.
Being a self-centered, insensitive bully is never a good look, but we can hope that frat boys grow out of that as they gain access to their prefrontal cortexes.
These ones never did.

Heroes are just normal, scared people who try to do the right thing when the time comes for it.
I think that’s what we can ask of ourselves — just try to do the right thing with what’s right in front of us.

Dear Everyone Who Just Moved to Boise,
Pro tip: I know you’re excited about planting flowers but this is what we call False Spring. Don’t do it. You gotta wait until Mother’s Day. Otherwise you can just keep watering the corpses of your frozen plants with your tears. 🌱 🌞 ❄️

“We swore to serve the American people... However, it has become clear that we can no longer honor those commitments.”

I have lived in Idaho on and off for my entire life. It is a state of great natural beauty but has become a magnet for the worst elements of our society.
Women, and everyone committed to holding the line against cruelty and fascism, I stand with you.

With Elon Musk’s idea to give the peasants $5k from the DOGE “savings,” we are literally watching a Collapse of the Roman Empire replay.
