C. L. Curole “Less Panic, More Disco 🪩 “

to answer that question you have to recognize your inherent worth, even if flawed, as an animal on this earth in this mysterious universe. we do not really even know it means to be legit made of stardust but over and over we see that what matters is our human ability to love and practice compassion

The problem is they are ALL this bad and it is beyond comprehension that any of Trump’s cabinet were confirmed by the Senate. TBH, those Senate enablers bear much of the burden of this disastrous administration. Even now, they could still turn things around, but they remain sycophants and cowards.

I do think there’s a certain type of Democrat that realizes it’s possible we are dealing with a perfect storm where almost any Democrat will win, and are terrified we might nominate radical candidates who will actually engage in needed change instead of status quo corporate centrist bullshit.

All I know is if the ladies in that picture are LDS they are tucking their garments in some kinda way.

Yes. Yes, they do.

At exactly five minutes before the alarm clock every morning.

I wish people understood how much unseen labor goes into every visible ounce of activism

and how much labor by so many people towards change is deliberately invisible and never meant to be known

O ffs.

This reminds me of voting in Australia. It's fun. It's easy. You see lots of neighbours, buy treats at the school cake stall, and have a democracy sausage (a cheap BBQ sausage in a piece of white bread).

BTW, voting is both ranked choice and COMPULSORY. It's considered an obligation of citizenship.

Restore Customs and the Secret Service to the Treasury.

Restore TSA and the Coast Guard to the Dept. of Transportation.

Restore FEMA to its original independent status - hell, make it a whole Department, we're going to need it.

Restore all the small random agencies to Justice.

Be done with it.

I had some sad cafeteria lettuce with my lunch today.

Carrots, though. I can do that, as long as I don’t personally have to peel them.

I outsource the peeling of my carrots.

Unfortunately our current regime can’t tell an N95 from a pasta strainer.

Maddening, and it will take decades to fix if we make it that long.

He doesn’t, but he does have to turnout votes in the second district, which is the more conservative half of the state. (jared Golden’s district.)

Meta’s internal memo said the political tumult in the United States was good timing for the feature’s release. “We will launch during a dynamic political environment where many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns,” according to the document from Meta’s Reality Labs, which works on hardware including smart glasses.

this is comically evil. brazenly anti-social. just absolute black-pilled nihilism. we will not have a republic, we will not be free, until we regulate these companies to the point where — at a bare minimum — they're too afraid to put stuff like this down on paper.

You bio suggests you live 4000 miles away so I encourage you to participate vigorously in your own local politics.

Mwah. 💋 I detest Collins, think Mills could be about twice as progressive as she is on some important stuff…. And I live here and am keenly aware of what my neighbors think.

If I fuck off you’ll never know it.

My dude, I freaking live here. It’s a whole thing.

So we’re not looking in a country of 330 million people, we’re looking in second district Maine which is maybe 700k people. much smaller pool. he still has some traction among folks who would sit out a contest between two old lady lawyers (sorry, Guv.) too soon to tell, wait tor primary.

America! 😎

Found an additional graphic that gets even more of these quotes together.

I've kept "I hate myself, I hate clover, and I hate bees" pinned above my desk since I first started studying evolutionary biology as an undergraduate. So relatable to get extremely frustrated with your study system.

You don't fight the enemy where you wish they were. You go and fight them where they *are*. (I can just hear Sun Tzu shouting "What are they *teaching* them in these schools..!")

I figured as much from the detail with which you write about your medical stuff.

But still.

I am really starting to believe you are actually a medical library in a trenchcoat.

People can have different political opinions about immigration policy. Political differences are fine, healthy for a democracy.

But if you’re okay with this, that’s not a political opinion. That is a moral failing.

Timb to do a harass of hellocobber mebbe?

Came in here to sing this. 🎶

Building the camps The warehouseification of detention and initial thoughts on stopping it.

When I got the contract to write a history of concentration camps in 2014, I hoped to keep the US from ending up here. That didn't work out! But now it's critical to understand how much is already in process and the enormity of what's coming. The sooner we act to stop it, the more people we'll save.

Notice how the popular media narrative has moved on, while people on the ground in Minneapolis are still struggling and crying out that things are as bad as ever. This is how fascist regimes operate — overreach, recalibration, normalization. Get louder, not quieter.
