I am not okay. But I'm not on Twitter, either. So I've got that going for me, which is great.

I have to agree that things are looking bad for democracy's survival in America right now, but I'm sure that some impotent sputtering about Pocketbook Issues and Kitchen Table Economics from Democratic members of Congress will soon set things to right.

The complete impotence of the elected leaders of most of the nation's largest and bluest cities as the cops ostensibly employ eagerly cooperate with goons sent by a tyrant to inflict harm on the city's residents and property is something to see.

I know there's a lot going on, but the Secretary of Homeland Security declaring that federal troops are in California and Los Angeles to "liberate" the state and city from its duly-elected leaders really is a fourteen-alarm fire.

People are reporting shit like "Meta is buidling a Superintelligence" straight faced without underscoring that the company has not made a single successful product on its own since Mark made a gazillion dollars on ripping off Hot or Not. Occasionally they'll buy something that works and break it.

The tone of this story is surprisingly unsimpy in implicitly framing the Democratic officeholders and consultants who aren't counselling submission and denial as if they're speaking for the minority of Democrats, especially given ABC's bootlicking. www.cnn.com/2025/06/11/p...

www.npr.org/2025/06/11/n... Bless their hearts, NPR really thinks it's rising to the moment by doing what what they would've considered a "tough interview" back when we were a democracy. They're just not mentally or emotionally able to treat this as they would if it was happening in another country

Sometimes I think the “this is just a distraction” crowd just can’t handle the chaos, and that’s their way of cooping. But this is our reality. All of it. We don’t get to pick one crisis at a time. Walk and chew gum.

Far from the first one to say this. But agrobusiness regions, even in blue states, are generally in red areas. They're heavily dependent on undoc'd labor. Take the dairy industry in Kristi Noem's home state or in CA. we're not seeing any of these raids there. not zero. but they're getting a pass.

Me as I walk down the steps from my office to get a second blood pressure pill because it feels like my skull is a pressure vessel: "You knew this was coming, that worse is coming and that things will have to get a lot worse than this before anything gets better. Stay calm and carry on."

"An incompetent warning shot or the act of a coward, either way it needs to be properly investigated... how is it okay for your police force to be firing at unarmed Australian journalists?" Karl Stefanovic, an anchor for the Australian broadcast channel that @laurentomasi.bsky.social works for.

PSA: If you think a guy standing on a vandalized Waymo car with a Mexican flag is a bigger issue than the president calling for the arrest of a governor for no reason, you may have lost the plot.
