Resisting fascists, kleptocrats, plutocrats, bigots, and supremacists. Resisting, within and without, cynicism, pessimism, performativeness, misdirected rage, temptations to go low - for what do we profit if we win back power but lose our souls?

It'll be interesting to watch NYC/S Dems in the general election for Mayor. Will the people who always yell at us to STFU and support the nominee, support the one we picked? Or, more likely, will their fear of progressive politics result in a push for the harasser?

This book is riveting and so, so infuriating. It follows 5 families in Atlanta who are struggling to remain housed and paints deeply compassionate portraits of each unit. It reads almost like a novel but is outstanding journalism

NYC mayoral race is a demo of why Dems suck and lose: 1) they unite to defeat people like Mandami despite real appeal to everyday voters; 2) they'll get behind a sexual harasser like Cuomo to stop it. Unresponsive to people and complete hypocrites. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I'm not the biggest fan of Gates, but the contrast is clear: one reads books, consults experts, engages in thoughtful action; the other's a jagoff who shows up with a chainsaw and thinks he's funny.

Foreign nationals are prohibited from contributing to Donald Trump’s campaign.
But Trump’s memecoin scam allows foreigners to influence U.S. policy by putting money directly in his pocket.
This unlawful graft must be stopped.

Famines of thought and feeling. Love's wine's thin.
The grain of human Autumn rots, down-hurled.
