Pathetic.

You really don’t want Denmark as your enemy. Nobody can defeat a nation ingenious enough to make Lego and Duplo fit together

cash out or crash out: a memoir

Increasingly enraged whenever they do one of those action movie endings where the good guy is about to kill the incredibly disgusting evil, bad guy and somebody intervenes – “you’ll be just like him!“ — and nobody brings up the fact that the good guy killed 100 anonymous henchmen to get here

this is a good post and "decadence" is a good way to think about a lot of things. true decadence is, eg, thinking you could let an insurrection go unpunished and the country would just keep chugging along nbd

Now is no time for perfect. Now is time to make new history. “The power of the people is greater than the people in power.” Well done, @corybooker.com. youtu.be/stFxmjUy5Y8?...

"One has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws.” – Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

I’m gonna make it simple since it seems a lot of the liberals on this site right now are having trouble with this. It was illegal to protect Anne Frank and it was legally required to turn her in to the Nazis. If your reliance on the law dictates your morals you have already lost to the fascists.

Kaufmann: DOGE claims to have found Social Security loans going to 11 year olds and under. It's a survivor benefit annuity to young children whose parents have passed. That's the problem billionaires without a clue doing a job they don't understand

being an indie bookseller in the helltimes has felt both very stable and very stabilizing, and part of me wishes everyone could be on my side of the counter for a little while, because I think it would help some of you be a little less cynical and doomy right now. so here is my VERY anecdotal data:

“Mindfulness meditation doesn’t change life. Life remains as fragile and unpredictable as ever. Meditation changes the heart’s capacity to accept life as it is.” – Sylvia Boorstein

Yet he feels “entitled” to that money through government subsidies?

Not sure I've ever seen a more obvious picture to remind us that police exist to protect the property of the ruling class, not the rights of the people.

i am sick of “more monkeys jumping on the bed” discourse. it’s as though these people have no memory of 2017 when one fell off and bumped his head. doctor spoke out against it, mama endorsed doctor’s findings. i’m limiting replies to followers because i do not have the energy for YMMJOTBers today

If you're a white dude with some flexibility in your life, get a group of your like-minded bros together & go to these events to act as counterbalance to these "private security forces." Get in their way. Occupy space. Ask for their IDs. Outnumber them. Make their fascism difficult.

Got my first "Violating an Executive Order" and "I'll make sure you lose federal funding" parent threat today for teaching "DEI" books in our upcoming "Liberty and Justice" themed unit. Even in "Blue" Massachusetts we're dealing with this. Anyway, don't obey in advance, and don't obey later.
