Politics hasn't been this simple in a long time: do you think it's good for one man to exercise unchecked, arbitrary power or not. Those are the two available ideologies right now

Only thing anyone can say after that spectacle is that there is now no doubt that Trump and JD Vance are working for Putin

Fellow NSA - National Security Agency veterans. Look at what’s happened at the National Cryptologic Museum. They covered up with brown paper the photos of Women in American Cryptology. All in response to President Trump’s anti-diversity executive order.

This piece by Ezra Klein is very thoughtful and worth reading. I hope he is right————Don’t Believe Him www.nytimes.com/2025/02/02/o...
‘This is the weakness of the strategy that Bannon proposed and Trump is following. It is a strategy that forces you into overreach. To keep the zone flooded, you have to keep acting, keep moving, keep creating new cycles of outrage or fear. You overwhelm yourself. And there’s only so much you can do through executive orders. Soon enough, you have to go beyond what you can actually do. And when you do that, you either trigger a constitutional crisis or you reveal your own weakness. Trump may not see his own fork in the road coming. He may believe he has the power he is claiming. That would be a mistake on his part — a self-deception that could doom his presidency. But the real threat is if he persuades the rest of us to believe he has power he does not have. The first two weeks of Trump’s presidency have not shown his strength. He is trying to overwhelm you. He is trying to keep you off-balance. He is trying to persuade you of something that isn’t true. Don’t believe him.

MAGA as neo-kayfabe is really a spot-on lens, I think. This analysis also explains why it's so unsettling.

Fascinating interview from one of my favorite podcasts.

if you made art this year, you did well. a sketch, even if it was scrapped ; a poem, even if it was deleted — mattered. you put thought to paper, you engaged with the creative alchemy of turning feeling to something tangible. doesn't matter if you weren't productive "enough." or good "enough."

Having trouble finding the right gift for the introvert in your life? You can’t go wrong with…

- 3-5 solid hours of blessed silence
- a “get out of function free” card to be redeemed later
- a coupon for a phone call to be made on our behalf
- a text saying you’re not mad at us
- a nice blanket

Feeling blue this morning but nothing the Talking Heads, Eddie Vedder, and Joni Mitchell can't get me through. What's on your comfort playlist?

I’m excited for @gregcasar.bsky.social’s leadership at the Progressive Caucus. He’s going to be great.

Newly elected Congressional Progressive Caucus chair Greg Casar is already cooking

NBC news screenshot of interview with Texas representative Greg Casar "The progressive movement needs to change. We need to re-emphasize core economic issues every time some of these cultural war issues are brought up," Casar said. "So when we hear Republicans attacking queer Americans again, I think the progressive response needs to be that a trans person didn't deny your health insurance claim, a big corporation did - with Republican help. We need to connect the dots for people that the Republican Party obsession with these culture war issues is driven by Republicans' desire to distract voters and have them look away while Republicans pick their pocket."
