Long thread, but worth following it through. Buckle up, it’s going to be a bumpy ride…
Obviously I don't speak for everyone who was talking about it, but.

In Parable of the Sower, the protagonist gets on a prepper evangelism kick of her own, and her dad gives her a lecture.

He explains that she is gonna freak everyone out and needs to slow her roll.

Not because she's wrong...
I was just wondering about this. I did a lot of assessment and prep earlier this year but it's not clear what happened or will happen and everyone got kind of quiet about it (those who ever talked about it at all in the first place).

If you say “I’m fine with immigration as long as it’s legal” or “I came the right way” but you’re not sounding the alarm over this, you’re lying.

A company says an employee was detained by federal agents during an immigration court hearing, despite being here legally with a valid work permit.

My current theory is that we're locked into a mass hysteria loop as people prove unable to psychologically engage with the complexities of the modern world and so attempt to burn it down instead.
Man, how did things get this dysfunctional? And before you say “the empire was always like this; you were just too privileged to see it,” no it wasn’t because if it was, the empire could not have been built in the first place.

"So here's the plan -- we impose massive tariffs on the nations that sell us food."

"Hmm."

"But it's OK, because we just rely more on states like California that grow a lot of the same things."

"Oh, I guess that ..."

"And then we go to war with California."

It’s very discouraging to watch our country slowly re-learn the lessons that led to the end of segregation, among them that people who think they’re racially superior are nearly universally incompetent fools unable to face up to their own deficiencies and putting them in charge is suicide

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

"Trumpomuskovia" is a word I introduced in an essay about some historical moments that might help us to understand the coming reality. The better we see the new regime, the more clearly we might also see its fractures and weaknesses.

Ever wondered why walking around museums is weirdly tiring? At normal speed our legs act like pendulums, swinging forward from the hip & saving us a huge amount of energy. In "museum shuffle" our muscles must do ALL the work of constant readjustment. So cake in the cafe is scientifically justified 🥳

The North Carolina General Assembly’s GOP supermajority just approved a hugely corrupt power grab, seizing authority from the governor and the courts to prevent any meaningful check on legislative abuses. Authoritarian stuff. A very dark day for democracy in NC. amp.newsobserver.com/news/politic...
