Trump: I demolished the People’s House for my big beautiful ballroom paid for by my rich friends so we can throw lavish parties while millions starve without health care.

If I had explain American history in one sentence, I could do worse than "John Brown was hung for treason, but Robert E. Lee was not."
John Brown’s raid on Harpers Ferry began on this day in 1859.

People living under fascism didn’t survive by giving up joy—they protected it.
They held onto the things fascism tried to erase: art, friendship, jokes, rituals, language, memory.
Not as escapism but as resistance. As proof they were still human.
Joy isn’t frivolous under fascism. It’s strategic.

I think the reason a lot of people are connecting with John Walker more than Sam Wilson is "depressed asshole with anger issues whose wife left him after he fucked up" kind of feels more true to the GWOT veteran experience than "noble dude who turned his tragic loss into helping other vets".

If I had a nickel for every time an FA-18 Super Hornet fell off the USS Truman into the Red Sea, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

Every Monday I wake up, fully cognizant of the fact that the President took a perfectly healthy economy back behind the shed and shot it, and then I go about my job for the week like that didn’t happen because I have no control over it. It makes me feel ridiculous.
