We grow up with the unacceptable, and accommodation becomes a tool we use to make our lives easier. Accommodating the unacceptable is often easier than doing the right thing. Eventually, we use it to let ourselves off the hook, because that’s easier, too.

This. Dammit, this.
I am of a certain age. I likewise grew up in the Deep South and, Lord, the poison so many of us put up with to “keep the peace” in our families, to not face ostracism . . . to not make life harder than it was growing up in the Jim Crow and post-Jim Crow South.
Overcoming it takes seeds planted and watered.
Decades on, I have come to regard the network TV shows of my childhood — “Julia” and “Room 222” for two — as our Radio Free Europe. Today, such “seeds” must be protected, planted and nurtured at all costs.
The opposition cannot give an inch. Not one.
Parents often had no idea you were learning not to be like themselves by watching network TV when you’re 10, 11 and 12.
ABSOLUTELY NO, Point out the reasons on every policy proposal as to how it will fail, hurt, bankrupt or kill. ZERO bipartisanship. Every failure must be 100% GQP.
It is too late to hope he is successful when he poured the gasoline and stands with a lit match.
So many of my friends avoid discussions around this - particularly with me.
I cannot hold my mouth.

Close your Amazon, Instagram, Facebook and X accounts. If tens of millions of you do it, that will clearly show those absolute Nazi tools, Musk, Suckerberg and Bezos's they backed the wrong horse. The should have stayed with the people. The American people.
Most of us do the household shopping. Vote that way.
Pass on names of businesses holding on (Penzey's!!💙)
Put books with important messaging in Little Free Libraries in your community.
There are many ways to #resist that are quiet but mighty.
The Guardian reporting is not bad

Illegal migrants in the sanctuary city were rounded up in a sweep of early morning raids.
ICE agents are expected to continue sweeping Los Angeles seven days a week”.
I disagree on the 'acting in bad faith' proposition
Am reading Zimbardo and power of situations
Accommodating is not bad apples but is a bad barrel, which also seems yr point
How to help ppl step out of the barrel and see how it can be different?
With your background/education you know there is no 'letting yourself off the hook'; at least for those of us who aren't sociopaths.
Guilt. Shame. Self-Blame. Self-awareness of your error will catch up eventually. And that's the point where therapists start to shop for new boats. 🤷😌

#Resist!
🤔tRumps' doing it ❣️🙏 he doesn't succeed & I don't normally pray👀🇺🇸💔
Today, I would not even want to go.
I do not need the nastiness and the vile fascism in my life.
I think of you all and I am compassionate though.

Probably a good idea to re-read "Night" by Elie Wiesel right about now.
Please read this; you'll know what to do...
Please, please read this. You'll know what to do...
Senator, please read this. You'll know what to do...
Many Dems still are in denial as to how much Danger America is in 2025.
is not the cruelty of the oppressor,
but the silence of the bystander."

Welcome to the fate of 1 in 4 women and 1 in 8 men.
Get ready to put the effort in to what it takes to sort out that kind of 'sh*te show'.
😭😭😭
There is #nobottom and the they have #norestraint
Someone tell us what the plan is so we can get to work saving our country from Fascists, Christian Nationalists and Money Grubbing Billionaires & Corporations.
Project 2025 was published in April, 2023, almost two years ago, Mary. I’m still waiting for @schumer.senate.gov @raskin.house.gov to develop a short and long term strategic plan with built in responses to scenarios like every other leader does
This ancient credo, that applied to 'survival of the tribe', HAS to be thrown out.
We have a limited amount of time at the grassroots level to pressure the D party to reinvent themselves to effectively combat Facism. Appeasement only emboldens the enemy.
Norwegian onlooker here, one of (most probably) billions of rather appalled (etc. etc. etc.) fellow World citizens of yours:
One was titled: Duty to Warn.
A forensic investigation of the swing states would not have been unreasonable.
This could have happened before the electoral votes were counted-trump had no power
Harris was not perfect, she is a politician.
I think she wanted to preserve her Dem image of accepting the outcome.
But even one forensic investigation would have been enough proof for a Recount.
