In terms of mass protest,
this feels the next logical step. I hope the school year ending means students will be energized, like those who can share their recent and valuable experience in protest by occupation, and who are being targeted with brazen kidnappings by ❄️ thugs .

Do you need a messiah?
Are you waiting to call upon a larger icon to rely on?
Are you waiting for Jesus?
Are you waiting for mlk to rise from the grave and lead us?
Don't you know how they needed us?
This song has been coming to mind a lot. To wait for a donkey to lead the way is fatal foolishness

A poem i wrote for a class in college, shared for its brevity:
Back to the Sea
Once something like a wolf
said 'fuck it' to evolution
and crawled by generations
back to the sea.
Smart animals,
those dolphins

In “Way of the Kings” there’s a cursed king who doesn’t know whether he will wake up a genius or an idiot each morning.
That’s how I am now with anger. Today I am very angry.

Can't stress enough that posts like the one below aren't coming from random, alarmist bozos. Like this one is from Dr. Kevin Elliott, a political scientist at Yale University specializing in democracy, ethics and institutions.
People keep saying "it's gonna be a long four years," and I keep saying: this cannot go on for even a small portion of that.
People will die, government will crumble, America will go to war, and our democratic republic will be dead, buried, and rotted out top to bottom. He *must* be removed ASAP

I don't think you can look at what is brewing in Washington right now and just assume that the US will still be a functioning geopolitical actor this time next year

This was such a refreshing look at narcissism/sociopathy, it may be a new favorite. The empty self underlying the performance, the performance itself: Belle’s lines burst with social tactics used both consciously and unconsciously to draw people in, ingratiate herself, make herself appear special
Finally finished watching “Apple Cider Vinegar“ on Netflix.
My favorite thing about the series is the depiction of not only how actual narcissism/sociopathy function IRL, but also how people who absolutely don’t believe in “alternative medicine“ can still end up ensnared and made helpless by it.

“I am a king and my will is law” isn’t a clever distraction from what he’s doing, it’s the central underlying justification for everything he’s doing.

There is nothing funny about the fact that corruption is happening in plain sight.
But there is something amusing and deeply satisfying about watching Eric Adams get debased and humiliated like this and have to sit there and take it.
Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

Tom Homan basically admits to a quid pro quo for dropping the corruption charges against Mayor Eric Adams in exchange for enforcing Donald Trump's mass deportation plan.
"If he doesn't come through...I'll be in his office, up his butt, saying 'where the hell is the agreement we came to?'"
Vile.

All joking aside, the path we're headed down is widespread civil conflict. Official corruption is generally more of an accelerant than the curtailment of rights, though they often go hand-in-hand, as we're seeing.

the other thing about these moves is that the union becomes untenable if your access to the good faith and protection of the national government is contingent on whether you renounce your co-sovereignty as a state and submit to the whims of a president who has claimed sovereign authority
And schools are just one example.
