But yeah, seriously, the way to combat and delegitimize these militaristic actions is to ridicule them. Hands down the most effective way to undercut their power bc humor replaces fear. Calling all clowns, mimes, polka bands, Mr Robotos, improv troupes, and circus acts: Your country needs you!

Great piece,Tessa. Where is the REAL GOP Party? Wimpish, cowards, afraid of their shadows? Time for you to become ADULTS. Stand Up, straighten your backbone, remember your oaths that you took, look at your families and VOTE in CONGRESS as if THEIR LIVES and FUTURES depend upon YOU. Cause they DO!

I'm posting this at least once a day and so should as many people as possible. As a child of the sixties protests at Columbia where I was pepper sprayed, billy clubbed and dragged by the hair, I know they will plant agitators in order to create the chaos they need to justify their violence. RESIST

Two babies have died from whooping cough in Kentucky. Neither they nor their parents had been vaccinated. The current whooping cough outbreak in the U.S. hasn’t grabbed the media spotlight as much as measles has, but it’s important to update your vaccination if you’re going to be around babies.

This is so wrong. All to feed the ego of a mad tyrant who never had the balls to serve. This is not what we do in America. This is so fucking wrong. Makes me so sad. And so angry.👇

Kristi Noem less than a month ago: "There is no scenario where Abrego Garcia will be in the United States again." (No matter what happens, bringing him back to the US is a climbdown for the administration)

This seems like a great day to remind Bluesky that Stephen Miller lived four doors down from me freshman year And our student council person asked him (and everyone) to sign a birthday card for our dorm’s janitor And he threw a tantrum and wrote an op-ed about not socializing with “the help.”

Illinois Congresswoman and notorious bigot Mary Miller posted an Islamophobic tweet this morning, realized she had made a mistake, and then posted an anti-Sikh tweet. She has since deleted the anti-Sikh tweet.

the irony here is that trump, who has such enormous anxiety over his 2020 loss and the perception that he won 2016 with Russian help, has now created a situation for himself where Musk can cast a cloud over his 2024 victory as well

America was given a choice between a lawless, amoral monster and a qualified, intelligent, joyful woman of color—and it chose the monster. We need to reckon with the reality of what that says about so many of us here. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/america-ch...

The world is not zero sum. Relationships aren't zero sum. Exchange isn't zero sum. Zero sum thinking is the framework of the ignorant, unhappy, and simple-minded.
