I managed to repost your article by breaking it into two parts in the comment section of my announcement about your rude nonconsensual departure, and by obscuring the offending word with a "0" instead of an "o". This, after the link to your newsletter was removed as "spam". Viva La Résistance!

A thousand more thanks for the Congresswoman from the Bronx and Queens. No kings. But yes to this queen.

From my new book: "When only half the divide is being tasked with making the peace, there is no peace to be made, but there is a unilateral surrender on offer..... Nevertheless, we get this hopelessly naïve version of centrism, of the idea that if we’re nicer to the other side there will be no other side, just one big happy family. This inanity is also applied to the questions of belief and fact and principle, with some muddled cocktail of moral relativism and therapists’ “everyone’s feelings are valid” applied to everything. But the truth is not some compromise halfway between the truth and the lie, the fact and the delusion, the scientists and the propagandists. And the ethical is not halfway between white supremacists and human rights activists, rapists and feminists, synagogue massacrists and Jews, xenophobes and immigrants, delusional transphobes and trans people. Who the hell wants unity with Nazis until and unless they stop being Nazis? "Appeasement didn’t work in the 1930s and it won’t work now. That doesn’t mean that people have to be angry or hate back or hostile, but it does mean they have to stand on principle and defend what’s under attack. There are situations in which there is no common ground worth standing on, let alone hiking over to. If Nazis wanted to reach out and find common ground and understand us, they probably would not have had that tiki-torch parade full of white men bellowing “Jews will not replace us” and, also, they would not be Nazis. Being Nazis, white supremacists, misogynists, transphobes is all part of a project of refusing to understand as part of refusing to respect. It is a minority position but by granting it deference we give it, over and over, the power of a majority position."

The idea we should behave in such a way that the Trumpists will not portray us as dangerous/ lawless/ violent is a silly idea, because they always portray us that way and no amount of curtseys and rolling over and playing dead will change that. So people might as well speak up and stand strong.

Damn, that's a fantastic video for a campaign launch.

They made a movie in 2008 with Steve Carell, Anne Hathaway, Dwayne Johnson, Alan Arkin. It was great! My kids loved it and it became a family favorite, with lines quoted from it for years. They loved the B&W TV episodes, too, once they had the context.

I would like to nominate Maxwell Smart for national security advisor.

Dude, you said "I see no light at the end of the tunnel",
"Fighting corruption w/a corrupt system is nonsensical". You think the result of large protests will be that "he just hurts us more." How are these statements not signs of giving up? If you haven't, great! What's your plan? What will work?

What's the point of announcing here that you've given up? How is this at all helpful? It's not. We need people in this fight who won't give up, not now, not ever. If you're not that person, step aside to allow those of us who are to keep this going.

Yay! (And I love that you chose that picture!)

What treachery is he up to this time? He acts like he just bought our country for a buck at the Dollar Store and he's auctioning it off to the highest bidders.

Since when does POS care about other cultures?

You do mean RUINING our government, yes?

Happy Black History Month!

America may be facing a SUPER villain, but we are the heroes of our own story.
 
With resilience, grace, and unapologetic power, we rise. No villain can dim our light—our magic is unstoppable. My story is called Unleashing Black Girl Magic: The Superpower Within!

Cry me a river, JD, you're the one taking advantage of the American people, full stop. You're a disgrace.

The history they don't want you to know is exactly the history you should learn. Ask your parents, grands, aunties & uncles to tell you their stories. Record them. Pass them down to the next generation. Erasing the past dooms the future. #OralHistory #TuskegeeAirmen

Feel deep in my bones that the backlash to all of this is going to be enormous. Not sure how it will manifest and when it will explode into view, but confident it’s coming.

Europe to the US oligarchs, especially Zuckerberg and Musk: "You can take your Nazi salute and 'masculine energy' and go back home. "

Ukrainian soldiers on the frontline mockingly ask Trump if they can come out of the trenches now since he "ended the war".

Listen to music. Look at art. Watching someone make art. Make art yourself.

Let it calm you so you can think clearly and prepare for all that is ahead.
