There is nothing good that comes from having a President of the United States who is gobsmackingly stupid, surrounded by obsequious courtiers and fellow morons. But the sooner we collectively acknowledge that truth, the sooner we can fix it.

I don't know how else to say this except for bluntly:

It is not normal to have outbreaks of preventable diseases in wealthy countries.
It is not normal to have children dying from preventable diseases in wealthy countries.

This is the first US measles death in 10 years. There should be none.

The 67-year-old Woo Won-shik, the Speaker of the Korean Assembly, is climbing over the fence to push for the lifting of martial law.

2 months ago this is what elected officials from opposition parties in S Korea were doing in the middle of the night as their President attempted a coup.

Let’s move the needle: an activism handbook for artists, crafters, creatives, and makers. By Shannon Downey (aka badass cross stitch). Book is resting on a pink throw blanket with red hearts, on top of a green couch cushion.

The entire MAGA Playbook is to provoke a reaction and then claim the victims or too sensitive (snowflakes) or it was a joke. Rather than be outraged, don’t take the bait and simply laugh in their faces for being the stupid little bullies that they are. They can’t lead. They can only oppose.

The plan was always to flood the zone with shit.

Not everyone can respond to every outrage. That's on purpose. But no need to get mad at someone for focusing on stuff *you* don't think is important. Let everyone focus on what they want to focus on.

RESIST.
Don't quit.
Don't stop fighting.
Don't obey in advance.
Don't stop calling them out.
Keep raising your voices as loudly as you can.
Keep organizing your friends, family, everyone.
Keep supporting orgs that are leading the fight.

RESIST.

A spread from the board book Hope is a Rainbow, written by Danielle McLean. This spread depicts two parent birds and a baby bird swooping in the sky above some flower-dotted trees. Above them arcs a glorious rainbow.

This seemed like an appropriate illustration for today. From Hope is a Rainbow, published by Little Tiger Press, with words by Danielle McLean.

Hope everyone is doing okay today and keep looking for those rainbows guys 🌈

I remember when Americans thought they were too smart to fall for ham-fisted authoritarian propaganda, such as these TikTok manuevers.

I confess I thought that a lot of people who are showing themselves right now were smarter than that. But these techniques are time-tested because they work.

Nice people are struggling over the revelations on Gaiman, and something I keep hearing is, 'His work had a big influence on how I shaped my own identity.' So here's something to remember:

You did that. He didn't do it for you. 1/
