I have never felt such contempt for the Democratic Party in my long life. To be fair, my contempt for the GOP is lifelong and inexhaustible. But, I am genuinely disgusted by the absence of an opposition party. I will not forgive it.

There are no distractions. It's all bad. Systematically stripping trans people of their rights, guys in balaclavas shoving any brown person with a tattoo into a ummarked vans, ending healthcare for millions. It's all in service of fascism and technofeudalism. It's all one thing. That's the point.

I cannot tell you how relieved I am to be paid in full. I have an unconscious habit of physically tensing (bracing for the incoming punch) when I am anxious. When it releases, I can tell how bad it was by the soreness. Cptsd things.
