Fight back. Be the spanner in the works. Meanwhile: Ridicule and confrontation and resistance organizing are all effective tactics.

This is worth a read -- it's never been superceded by any of his words or actions after its publication (10-25-2016). (though I'd amend the read-out headline to "a weak, soulless bully with a boner for actual strongmen") Citizen Trump - A Hollow Man www.theamericanconservative.com/citizen-trum...

Also, you can count on @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social for counsel and encouragement. Her new newsletter is on top of these coup-plotters' throttle-hold on the USA. We can make hay of, and the most of, an emergency, with our emergence -- in solidarity. www.meditationsinanemergency.com/week-three-t...

"To overcome or even slow the momentum of the forces arrayed against us will require our resolve, and an ecosystem of resistance – litigation, activism, organizing, direct action, communications, political pressure, and our voices raised to speak truth to power." – Sherilyn Ifill, 2-9-25

The week-one chaos is 800 times worse than the first week of Trump's last term & the Muslim ban. This is kakistocracy on steroids, the Project 2025 Army fast-tracking a dictatorship. I DON'T recommend reading JD Vance & Peter Theil's fave, Curtis Yarvin. Read this instead, taking apart his idiocy.

Prof. Richard Wolff delivers the straight dope on economics -- trends in labor, manufacturing, and wages; inequality, political systems, long-held myths including "American exceptionalism", and the *real* economy. His weekly 'Economic Update' half-hour is highly recommended. @profwolff.bsky.social

If you're not actually trying to kill healthcare and preschool for poor kids to fund your tax cuts, this is not a great look to start with

The mailman just came so no more contact with the outside world til tomorrow at least. (This doesn't count) Expected something good like a check, got a jury summons instead. And btw -- this weather is bullshit.

'A Complete Unknown' has 9 Oscar nominations, & is the fourth most-nominated picture of 2024. Deserved! Congrats to Monica Barbaro, James Mangold, Timothee Chalamet, the criminally overlooked Dan Fogler, & all the others who made this such a great movie - possibly the definitive Bob Dylan biopic.

We know Trump, his GOP allies & minions are all spineless, weak & indefensible. Defying, frustrating & confronting them is the right thing to do. Publicly. On camera. Reporters need to stand up & say ‘Why are you lying?' to his face. (or ‘Answer the question!!’) For your part, yell 'Hey! fuckface!'
