It's increasingly alarming to me that white people in this country have no natural predators and therefore do not recognize how far gone things are, and people who do understand feel defeated already.

Hardly ideal.

Way too many Liberals think making and sharing AI memes is "resistance".

It's not resistance. It's compliance. Every time you use AI for some entertainment bullshit you're lining the pockets of the oligarchs who support Trump. You are passively supporting Trump with your AI slop.

Do the work.

I think fighting fascism involves not validating a lot of fascist framing about marginalized people and I think coalition building involves not pushing marginalized people out of the coalition. We have to stand against the narratives that say otherwise and hold leaders to that standard.

After decades of Northern congressmen sitting back & shutting up when Southernors bullied them into silence, in the mid 1850s, a new kind of northern man was elected to Congress

They fought back

They advertised it

& they were wildly popular

Ironically, this was the birth of the Republican Party

This is the last dying gasp of a world premised on supremacy. All kinds: Patriarchy, white supremacy, Christofascism, "meritocracy," etc. And what follows is key: either we have a Reconstruction that puts it in the ground forever and commits to equity, or we're doomed to repeat this cycle yet again.

This is step one.

Electeds will continue to play in our faces until we collectively have non-negotioable values & demands tied to accountability that don't reset every 2-4 years depending on whose name is on the door.

Arguing about individual politicians just feeds electoral cult thinking.

“CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE” reads a sign at a farmers market in the first panel of today’s DOONESBURY comic strip. 

“HOW STRANGE,” thinks Boopsie, a blonde woman who, in the next panel, tells Mike, an older white man:

“I POPPED BY TO VISIT AUNT JUNE TODAY.  HER CAREGIVER STOPPED COMING IN, AND HER FRIDGE WAS EMPTY. 

SO I WENT TO GET HER SOME PRODUCE AT THE FARM STAND. BUT IT WAS CLOSED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SUMMER!

SO I SWUNG BY THE CAFE TO GET HER DINNER BUT IT TOOK AN HOUR, THEY ONLY HAD ONE COOK ON. SO WEIRD!

THEN, ON MY WAY HOME, I SAW THAT THE HEDGES ALONG THE LANE STILL HAVEN'T BEEN TRIMMED, HAVE YOU NOTICED?”

“I HAVE,” say Mike, reading the newspaper. 

“I WONDER WHAT’S GOING ON,” she says, pausing over her salad she’s making. 

“IT'LL COME TO YOU,” says Mike.

New Analysis Finds Trump Family Has Raked in $3.4 Billion Off the Presidency President Donald Trump and his family have made a staggering $3.4 billion off the presidency, according to an analysis by the New Yorker.

"...he shall not receive within that Period any other Emolument from the United States, or any of them."

"...no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust...shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title...from any King, Prince, or foreign State."

If pundits would like to talk about violence, a terrorist recently shot up the CDC and another assassinated Democratic officials in Minnesota but they sort of let both stories disappear

Not as threatening as motorbikes in DC I know but maybe we could circle back?

My question is, at what point does it not become a stunt? At what point does it become the thing it's trying to look like? When they carry weapons? When they shoot someone? When they surround the capitol building? When they're in the Senate chamber? When they put a bag over your head?
