Right-wingers, biting their tongues,
say nothing about a
licensed gun-owner
thrown to the ground
& murdered by ICE agents.
BAM! BAM! BAM! BQM!
He had a gun, that's it.
Tucked away, not "brandishing."
Just blasted that gun-owner
with the silent approval of
the NRA & the GOP.

This is all I want to see Democrats doing from now on.

Screenshot of a post on X by Matt McDermott (@matt…) reading: “Kamala Harris at her final campaign rally:” followed by the quote: “Donald Trump intends to use the United States military against American citizens who simply disagree with him.” Below the text is a video still of Kamala Harris speaking at a podium with the U.S. vice presidential seal, with American flags behind her. A “cc” icon and a speaker icon appear on the video thumbnail.

She warned us. Like Hillary, Kamala was right about everything.

New York Times guest essay “is it time to stop snubbing your right-wing family?”

Wild that right-wing families somehow aren’t to blame for their longstanding and systematic snubbing of queer and lefty children.

This is the best advice

White House tells federal workers they can quit now, get paid through September The email is the most sweeping effort yet by the new Trump administration to shrink the ranks of government employees.

We could do a whole verse of “we didn’t start the fire” based on this week

You had different dreams for yourself than having to meet this shit historical moment.

I did too. I did too.

It’s fun trying to find that line between “I need to remain vigilant of the horrors afoot” and also “oh no my heart is racing and my jaw is making weird creaky sounds and I can taste pennies.”

remember, the blitzkrieg is intended to make you feel like there is nothing you can do about it; that’s the only reason to go forward in this haphazard and sloppy manner all in the first week

and the choice of that strategy tells you they are afraid you *will* do something about it

Don’t stop organizing just because the shitshow’s here w all the power and it’s unclear whether there’s any path whatsoever to success.

Now is when it’s *most* important. Changes won’t last without foundation-building. Now is exactly the time to organize and build the world you really wanna see.

Take a one-minute interlude for dancers in the NYC subway and a photographer.

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

Okay, but REALLY!!

The cover of the book Parable of the Sower.

Cannot stop thinking about how Octavia Butler wrote a book in 1993 about climate change. It opens with deadly fires in LA in 2025. In the story, a fascist President has just won office with the campaign slogan "Make America Great Again."

She was a modern day Nostradamus. If only we'd listened.
