Oh, I did. I think it’s why I’m able to compartmentalize the collapse.

Sorry, old and clueless here.

I had to look that one up.

Spent a minute at the hazy Jersey shore. I do not know this man or dog, but I know what it is to stand toes-in-water, pondering vastness and insignificance. It’s not a bad feeling.

I thought we were there.

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.

Omg

Liberals say that Trump is threatening to end our democracy and bring back feudalism. They're wrong—he's threatening to end our republic and bring back feudalism.

Good.

It’s July 1st. I am not enjoying the fascism at all.

Anyone still quibbling that this isn't fascism?

I really miss Twitter. They’ve taken all the public squares for smart people. *Nearly.

My “to listen, to read, to watch” list must stretch to the moon by now but this just went on it.

I was kidding. Collins is as moderate as McConnell.

But Collins is a moderate 🫠

Sure, right-wing media has been lying to the world for decades. Social media made it worse. Dems & legacy media capitulated/went along with both-sides framing. Now we’re fascist. There is no easy way back from this.

I read HRC but don’t see how “knowing more things” is helpful in this moment. We know the regime busts thru/overturns/ignores any rule it doesn’t like. So far the only consequences are murdered Dems—political violence that gets meager media coverage because it didn’t happen to the grievance party.

Thanksgiving.

I think they tell themselves “money.” They are purchased.

My shop newsletter this week has an opportunity for a discount but it requires a potty mouth.

I know people are used to what "originalists" do by now: But I will never accept the fact that these motherfuckers are literally citing the English High Court of Chancery as the ACTUAL REASON courts can't stop Trump takign away birthright citizenship.

"The rule of law is not a given in this Nation, nor any
other. It is a precept of our democracy that will endure only
if those brave enough in every branch fight for its survival.
Today, the Court abdicates its vital role in that effort." -- Sotomayor dissent

"The illegals will come in..." I just. What the fuck are we doing? Just white dudes pointing out the concentration camp features like it's luxury condos. And yet providing affordable housing is too expensive. We really do live in a shit-hole country.

ICE is now detaining Iranian Nationals. This woman had a medical episode and was taken to the hospital. My understanding is her current location is unknown. They also abducted her husband.

The net will continue to widen as time goes on and this regime identifies new targets. Are you next?

It’s all anyone can do right now.

That’s good too?

I’m thinking the olds might stay home. And I’m thinking the olds are for Cuomo.

Next he’ll take away their Nintendos.

You might want to put your party affiliation in your bio.
