We know.

In lieu of invading Iran to distract; this. Calling Trump a shit stain is an insult to shit stains. There is no bottom of the Trump barrel. No vocabulary to capture the vast depths of his depravity. What a national embarrassment.

They will say …

What we’ve always said.

They will say …

Just gonna say .. if we were living in the America all the MAGA are so eager to get back to, today's sort of shit would be more than enough to force the First Family out of the White House.

Remember when deputized gangs of feral federal officers were deployed in US cities and streets killing citizen protesters during the JFK, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush Sr., Clinton, Bush Jr., Obama, Biden regimes?

This. Is. Not. Normal.

Rather than cancel the midterms, I think we should move them up to tomorrow.

Thank you, Jane. It’s always good to see you, also. Fighting the good fight.

Dear MAGA/GOP -

Gosh, I don’t know. If your biggest fear is that your president will be impeached or jailed once checks and balances are restored, maybe take that as a sign your president’s a fucking criminal.

The Dems attacked Zohran Mamdani harder than they fought Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill,” which guts social programs, militarizes ICE and DHS, extends tax breaks to the wealthiest class, and adds $4T to the debt. Punching left while the right burns it all down isn’t strategy - it’s complicity.

Nazis and other fascists are inhumane. They do monstrous, irredeemable things. And they are still human beings. Saying otherwise reduces us to their level of thinking - that “the other” is inhuman. Show humanity, even to those who don’t deserve it.

Fair to call out fascism where it exists. But even facts can be weaponized to divide, rather than repair. The point isn’t to avoid accountability. It’s to stay human while we hold the line.

That’s part of the challenge, isn’t it? When we label others as irredeemable, we risk becoming what we claim to oppose. I’m not saying don’t confront harm, just that healing won’t come from dehumanizing, even when we feel justified.

It begins by remembering we’re all of us still human, and that beneath the noise and cynicism, most of us want the same things: safety, meaning, connection, and the right to live without being ground down.

So let’s start there.

The wound is real. It runs deep. But the healing doesn’t begin by demanding perfection. It begins by demanding accountability regardless of bias.

22/
One that centers dignity, care, and accountability not just for the powerful, but for ourselves.

21/
We need a new story. One that sees through the illusion of Left vs. Right and focuses on Human vs. Machine.
