An image of a crossed-out swastika with the words: IN THE EYES OF MAGA WE ARE ALL ANTIFA NOW.

I'm anti-fascist. Are you?

Nice update on the first 'we are all antifa now' you did and I now carry proudly.

Exactly. Sigh... We haven't moved forward in a long time. Dems need to be bold, restless and relentless for progress.

Practically speaking, how do we bring down housing costs?

Last month, the Senate Banking Committee unanimously passed a bill that will use the power of the federal government to help communities across the country build more housing.

We need more housing.

Every single Senator on the Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee voted to advance a landmark package to help get more homes built and make the federal government a better partner to local communities.

Let's get this done.

Don't check Bluesky everyday or FB. In fb's case I've weaned myself away a bit as it's increasingly annoying! I find substack's options more engaging for conversations/info along with websites & newsletters in email. As project 25 becomes more of reality Bluesky may be the only SAFE option.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.

I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

Primary all Democrats over the age of 60.

Shit! Look at what’s happening here and here and here.

Welp, off to work. Drink the coffee. Do the things. Fold the laundry. Take the kid to dance. Make the food.

Sleep. Wake up.

Shit! Look what’s happening here and here and here.

Rinse. Repeat.

I knew this one was going to have a lot of great comments... lol Thanks everyone.

Love these photos and such great weather = No rain!

Listen to the governors.

Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a rancid bigot.

New in PN: Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism

“'I’ve never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable,' Judge Young fumed. 'I’ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this.'

We Better Pray That No Unexpected Crisis Hits While Trump Is President It’s a world exploding with crises waiting to happen. Donald Trump has made us less prepared for every one of them.

It was rather an insider joke coming from a forum discussion group a long time ago about Marxism. At some point someone said Marx had 'invented' the phrase dick head and it hilariously took off from there. Every time I hear Marxism it comes to mind. Wish I could remember what group it was🤣

He. Did. Not. Write. One. Single. Word. Of. This. Well... maybe the last sentence as it's all in caps. 🙄

Interestingly, Karl Marx is purported to be the first person to coin the word dickhead... or at least put it in print.

Syracuse?

Yes, but alone he's too incompetent - his brain is to chaotic/disorganized/irrational - too successfully carry out a lot of his whims of thought without the guile and guidance of his minions and sycophants.

Astonishing and truly outrageous to miss voting on this very important and ugly bill!! What could possibly be the reason for this?

Are the three who died included in the "4" who did not vote? I cannot find any information/names on which Democrats did not vote. Only on the 3 vacant seats - held by people in their 70's in May, April and March. I'm old and and there should definitely be term AGE limits!

I knew it was coming - for years - just a matter of time and so heart & soul gutting. I watch PBS and listen to NPR every single day (TV Radio Computer Newsletters). Even as a sustaining member to both I fear for the loss of them. My country is not serving me well. Or the developing world.

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.

"nonviolent resistance is in the big picture and the long term the most effective strategy, but that doesn't mean it must be polite, placid, or please our opponents, not least because nothing ever will & they'll lie and distort no matter what."

Nice look for you, Facebook! Thanks, hometown paper! And more thanks to the people who advocated for the "permanently disabled" status of my account there to be overturned. www.sfchronicle.com/entertainmen...
