Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear.
If you don’t believe that Trump’s authoritarianism can be defeated, look at how scared MAGA is of chalk:
FHP also arrested a man at a crosswalk near Pulse in Orlando last night. The bizarre story of the arrest is related below by Fox35 Orlando.
This is so pitifully embarrassing for the state.

Attend a No Kings Protest yesterday? Thank you for showing up! An estimated 4-6 million people protested across the country. Wouldn't it be amazing if all of us picked one issue and used @5calls.org to contact our reps today and tomorrow?
Let's do it.

This is the core of the shallow, thuggish "masculinity" that is so in vogue these days: *anything* is better than admitting a mistake & having people laugh at or pity you. Anything, including destroying yourself.

I am begging the people who use words for a living ostensibly to describe reality to reach for the obvious ones everyone understands.

How hard is it to describe the Trump administration's blatant criminal acts as crimes?

One of the many inflection points in American culture where things went wrong is when the movie of Glengarry Glen Ross came out and people saw Alec Baldwin's cameo and thought "Wow, that guy? So badass! So assertive!"

Yup, @jamellebouie.net has this exactly right. What these guys are celebrating/pursuing/yearning for is not masculine energy, it's *adolescent* energy. Drinking Red Bull, crushing Call of Duty, refusing to clean your room. It is indescribably pathetic. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/18/o...

I think a lot about this quote from Anaïs Nin’s diary from 1939-1944:
“America is in even greater danger because of its cult of toughness, its hatred of sensitivity, and someday it may have to pay a price for this, because atrophy of feeling creates criminals”.

This has always been my worst fear about climate change: the worse it gets, the more geopolitical chaos it causes; the more geopolitical chaos there is, the harder it is to cooperate to fight climate change.

A ‘doom loop’ of climate change and geopolitical instability is beginning
Climate change is driving inflation and instability, which harms climate action. But it’s not too late to escape the doom loop.

Disasters are going to get more severe and more frequent, and it’s no surprise that this year’s federal price tag is exceeds 100 billion dollars. Climate action is way way cheaper than climate inaction.
