I'd have to say that I think most of them, at least mentally, already consider themselves having transitioned to "post-human," which is a large part of the problem of dealing with them for the rest of us.

I admire Arlie Hochschild as a scholar, but we really don't need another "They feel disrespected" lecture. Everyone understands. And if I hear one more liberal say "Democrats need to show respect and listen to Trump voters" like it's a revelatory new strategy I'm going to lose my mind. (cont'd)

This MAGA creep is running my old office. I can imagine how the prosecutors there must be disgusted. What people don’t understand is that every immigration case prosecuted means less violent and organized crime and child pornography prosecutions. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

The point is to create a world in which the authoritarians can simultaneously inhabit a position of victim and abuser, creating an imagined threat of persecution and violence in order to persecute and carry out violence. This is how this always works. We cannot allow this to continue.

The Senior Citizens (avg age 90) who live at 5Star Residence in Yonkers are out in the rain on the sidewalk in front to declare #NoKings! This generation knows what to do when fascism rears its ugly head.

As we resist Trump’s tyranny, we gain solidarity. As we gain solidarity, we feel more courageous — and we weaken Trump and his regime. Today's protests are about standing up to Trump, but they're also about standing with each other. Be safe. Be peaceful. Be strong.

Efficient resistance means pushing back against fascism & pressuring it both on the streets as in the court rooms. Scenes from Tucson Arizona where protestors cornered Trump regime ICE troops, sprayed them in self-defence. Protestors kettled ICE & used their own riot control methods. #3E #StopICE

Move to hold the agents who assaulted a sitting senator in contempt of Congress. Call for articles of impeachment against Noem. Stop working on crypto legislation. Demonstrate the stakes of what is happening in LA with your actions.

The Biden Administration was heavily involved in trying to get that legislation through. Trump sabotaged it and was elected for it.

More people should be talking about the utter freak that is Stephen Miller and his white nationalist worldview. He's the architect behind most of this chaos as Trump is golfing, falling asleep during meetings, making money of memecoins and tripping while climbing stairs.
