Turns out that when Americans said "If it weren't for us you'd be speaking German now..." their objection was to learning a second language, not fascism.

the people who told us to calm down because Roe was settled law are the same people now telling us to calm down because the military would never open fire on Americans

It is undeniable that this moment is being shaped by people who marinated for years in an informational environment where reality was not only demoted but actively disdained. It took a while for that bubble to become impermeable but it did and now we have a chunk of people who know nothing but.

“To us, masks are associated with cowardly desperados and the despised Ku Klux Klan. In all our history we have never tolerated an armed masked secret police.”

- Judge William Young, September 30, 2025

Every word of this. If we survive authoritarianism, the propagandizing of america will be the story of our time

“I’m all for unifying, I’m all for bridging gaps, but not at the expense of my neighbor’s humanity. I just can’t.” Thank you for this, Ta-Nehisi Coates. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/28/opinion/ezra-klein-podcast-ta-nehisi-coates.html

This is the way.
I'd never heard of stopping mid-sentence, but stopping mid- scene like this greatly cuts down the time i spend each session re-orienting to the fictional world I'm writing. Also works for essays and non-fiction.

Despite refusing to coordinate with the state or city, we’re monitoring the ongoing federal deployments that are instilling fear in our communities.

Americans have a right to peaceful assembly and to make their voices heard. Even if the Trump admin won’t follow the law, we will.

The life and death of Charlie Kirk and the response to it is the fastest case study of the difference between history and memory that I have ever seen develop.

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

Suddenly "hate speech" is bad. Suddenly "dehumanizing" people is bad. Suddenly "cancel culture" is good. Suddenly words have consequences.

The modern American right in 2025, folks.

Hi!

I was homeless.

That's me he wants to kill.

If you don't know me, hi, I am pretty nice, I think. I'm a privacy lawyer. I drive a cute yellow Bronco. I do art. I have two really fluffy Maine coon cats. I volunteer at food banks when I can.

This guy would have killed me for being homeless.

How much longer are we going to let this madness go on before we start admitting a heavily armed population is corrosive to democracy itself

Killing people we disagree with is wrong in every way, whether it’s Melissa Hortman or Charlie Kirk. This is especially true in a country awash with guns and run by fascists looking to amplify their already militarized policies.

No thoughts and prayers. Down with fascism and up with gun control.

You're not going to believe this, but it appears the chicago bears football organization has turned another talented, promising college qb into a scared rabbit who only looks downfield in desperation and who gets so anxious when a wr is actually open he overthrows by 10 yards

what a humiliating way for don jr. to find out his dad sends birthday cards.

Trump’s actions are not dangerously illegal, per Times journalists. Rather they “raise questions” and “stretch bounds”. Trump is not an authoritarian, he is a “maximalist.” Blisteringly obvious conclusions about his seizure of dictatorial powers are ascribed to “critics” or sometimes “experts”.

This is ultimately why almost no one trusts them anymore, favoring neutrality over objectivity at the expense of clarity. More interested in titilating and entertaining than informing

The “problem” with vaccines? They so effective at preventing deaths that they create generations of people that question whether disease was a problem in the first place because they have never experienced the horrors of a world without vaccines.

And I would never want to get between Ted and a trip to Cancun when there’s an emergency in Texas

Texas loaded busses with desperate migrants and dropped them off in Chicago like trash in the middle of winter. We welcomed them into our communities. Now Texas is sending its National Guard to terrorize them on our streets. In our neighborhoods. What the fuck.

I hope they hold the ceremony at four seasons total landscaping

PUBLIC HEALTH ORDER NEW MEXICO DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH SECRETARY GINA DEBLASSIE AUGUST 29, 2025 Ensuring Availability of COVID-19 Vaccine for the 2025-2026 Season

THIS ORDER supersedes any previous order, proclamation, or directives to the extent they are in conflict. This Public Order shall take effect immediately and remain in effect until such time as it automatically expires one year from the date of issuance, or until such time as the New Mexico Department of Health Cabinet Secretary rescinds it.

New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!

CHICAGO…

remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature

I also left twice this summer and can confirm this is 100% accurate

I want to believe this but wonder about #1, having seen the power of fox and other rw propagandists for the last 25 years. They may not convince people who the next trump is, but they can propagandize to the point their audience believes it's a better option than a dem.
Hope you're right

He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.

This is basically the novel I've been pitching to agents for five months
