We're not supposed to be this angry every waking minute.
We're not supposed to live a life in stasis, waiting for the next Truly Fucked Up Thing to occur.
These "Current Times" are not normal, they are engineered by the sycophants & henchpepople of psychotic dictators.
Do not accept any of it.

The last time Indiana won an outright Big Ten title, 1945, the leading rusher was George Taliaferro.
The next spring, he was the first Black player to be drafted by an NFL team.

Democratic voters are working hard to stop fascism. It would be nice if the leaders of the party joined them.

Your grandchildren will speak about you for generations to come. You took a stand against fascism. You stood up for democracy.

Not only should the Dems refuse to cave on the shutdown; they should announce they won’t vote for a budget until: (a) the military is withdrawn from every American city where it’s been deployed; (b) the budget forbids the use of any funds for that purpose; AND (c) the healthcare demand already made.

The current minimum wage is $7.25. The last time it increased in Wisconsin was 2009.
If it had merely kept up with inflation it would be at least $10.88 today.
If it had increased at the same rate as home prices, it would be $15.35.
It’s past time to raise the damn wage.

That any of us even feel a choice in avoiding the bad news in these moments is possible shows the subtle and insidious ways privilege works. It allows us to have urgency as an option, where for others it is a necessity.

The White Privilege of Avoiding Bad News
Yesterday, an old friend of mine and I were catching up on each other's lives after not having spoken for a while.

Good morning, friends. Embracing your true emotions is liberating! You will find solace in shared experiences. There are others who feel the same. Express yourself and invite them in. Let your pain out and let others in.

The fact that the President of the United States posts a fake video of a kneeling Barack Obama being handcuffed and we’re supposed to pretend it’s perfectly normal, everyday stuff shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

I've finally seen what I needed to see. Democrats are finally showing signs of life. Not just yelling into the void...but organizing..clarifying and responding to the real threat: Trump’s authoritarian ambitions. And yes, he shift is global...strategic and long overdue. Here’s what’s changing 👇

When a network lays off one of America’s greatest satirists, it’s not because he failed. It’s because he succeeded too loudly.

Wear a balaclava, a flak vest, carry a gun, say you're an ICE agent and you can do whatever the fuck you want? Is that how it works in the USA now? That's no longer a real country and should be getting completely shunned by the civilsed world.

This morning, like every morning, US President will wake up: paint his face orange, clip on his comical wig, put on a big floppy tie & oversized suit & weird platform shoes, and will go out in the world to steal as much money has he can while undermining US national security & economy & democracy.
