Remember this when you are afraid. Do not let them win! Come here when you need support. Do not give into the fear. This will be a marathon and I believe it will be much longer than 4 years. Stay strong 💙
As Frank Herbert said, fear is the mind-killer.

The sadistic bullies seizing power in America rely on your fear to survive. To defeat them, you must deprive them of it.

I wrote about it.

I wrote about DOGE, the fake agency with the Orwellian name which has no power beyond Truth Social but still got an audience in Congress today — to promote the greatest wealth transfer to the oligarchy in US history.

Elon Musk brought “lil X” as a prop.

The day America decided to ignore Jared Kushner's $2 billion from the Saudis, and put an insurrection-inciting convicted felon back in the White House, is the day I stopped giving a shit about any "moral high ground."

I hope President Biden takes his "presidential immunity" out for a fucking spin.

I am going to a city council meeting in the little town where I grew up to address a tumultuous issue and my wife has asked me to behave.

A local citizen has promised to spend a million dollars to sue political enemies over speech and I thought I might have a word or two about it.

Ben Ryan, a journalist known for hard-hitting reporting on widespread injustice against Ben Ryan, has announced that I will not “allow” “reporting about the science of pediatric gender medicine.”

Perhaps you find this puzzling. I can explain.

I like this app, and I plan to stay, but I urge caution when it comes to giving up your territory in the information war.

The project of authoritarian states is to divide the opposition and destroy it from the inside out.

Following up on my piece today on "nuclear psychosis" this NYT op-ed by Mikhail Zygar is the most accurate assessment of what Russia wants in US media so far: the total dissolution of the United States. Discount this at our peril.

Been hearing from friends on whom the weight of what's here and what's coming is falling, psychologically, heavier than on most. Not just the facts; the sorrow. I'm being vague, but there are migrations within that vagueness, and at least one suicide. This, too, is "political." 1/

NOW: Sen Dick Durbin (D-IL) on Senate floor says it’s “heartening” that Senate Republicans also want to read House ethics report on Matt Gaetz, “if he’s truly going to be the nominee”

"The idea that the Speaker would collude with the President to undermine the Senate’s constitutional role and make the legislative branch a passive plaything of the executive should outrage."

If senators can do their job evaluating Trump’s nominees in this moment, they would make it a little more likely that the president and his cabinet might do theirs.

Has this not already been said? The reason the lawyer(s) for the women witnesses against Gaetz are pushing for release of the Ethics Report is bc he's going to retaliate against them if he becomes AG.
