We are about to enter an era of extreme and dangerous culture war in the United States. How do we protect our communities and work toward a cultural ceasefire? In this piece I wrote a couple months ago, I offer one possible path. wapo.st/40q1BDn

At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions.
This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.

Given all of the election irregularities, particularly in the swing states, it's a stretch to think that he actually won.
Let's start the new year off with some cold, hard truths:
- Donald trump is a convicted felon.
- He did NOT win by a landslide.
- It was the 5th smallest win EVER.
- None of his decisions are his own: he is owned and controlled by President Musk and Putin.
PASS IT ON.

I'm convinced that Musk does not really exist, but is the AI creation of an under-achieving 14-year old incel whose cringing hope is that his performative, fascism-signalling will impress a gang of older boys who have the intellects of wet bread.
Meanwhile on X, formerly Twitter, Elon Musk has just posted "Only the AfD can save Germany."
