Among the most important things right now, for those of us Americans who want to understand our world and our place in it, is to shift from understanding ourselves as citizens of a democracy to members of a captive, restive, rebellious public an autocrat is seeking to consolidate control over.

They say the Fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, & self-control, but last night I self-regulated and put myself to sleep by imagining I was kicking Stephen Miller and JD Vance in the face.

1/? Long convo w my Mom, a 75 yo white/evangelical/Never Trumper Republican who worked in local politics for years while I was growing up. She's angry at Musk/Trump right now! Angry that Republicans aren't doing anything. Won't call her Senator or Rep's offices -- even though she campaigned ...

It is so hard to get through to people that before food stamps, kids starved. Before meat inspections, kids died. Before vaccines, kids died. You're choosing to kill children to save a buck & you refuse to see it because it's not real to you

Seeing an unelected South African billionaire in the Oval Office giving a briefing next to the mute and demented US President is jarring to say the least… They are pulling back the curtain to let us all know who is in charge.

The ‘American First’ crowd is awfully quiet about Trump’s pledge to build free housing for 2 million Palestinians in some random country they don’t want to go to that also doesn’t want them. I’m sure this will all work out fine and that’s what people thought they were voting for.

OMG the Trumpiest person in my own life adores that movie and says I remind them of her. Why do they love that movie and do they just not know many dark-haired women?

Here's an album that got a lot of play in my childhood, back when I was big into cereal. (Maybe this is the band some people would want to see during a Super Bowl Halftime show. Could run it by them for approval.)

If I was a one-hit wonder 90's alternative rock band, my song would have been "Sitting Next to the Space Heater With a Melted-Down Chapstick in My Hoodie Pocket."

So basically the same people who say racism no longer exists in america did this thing where they started using dei as a euphemism so they can get black people fired from jobs

Yesterday in the coffee shop, the guy at the table next to me was raising his voice at the woman with him: "I make BIBLICAL decisions! Not like you!" Perfect way to shut down conversation and be the holiest man of God. Sword of righteousness, comin' atcha. Weaponize that Bible!

Trump and the GOP just gutted a major Catholic charity but apparently it’s liberals and Democrats who are anti-Christian and anti-Church

One of the first doubts I had as a young Evangelical/Christian Nationalist was when I realized these people hate each other & can't even avoid a church split every 5 yrs, why do they want to try to control a whole nation?

I've left a lot of voicemails with my Senator's office but my fave is the one when I got flustered at the last second and, in an effort to sound more professional, referred to "Elon Musk and the tech brothers."

This administration has already convinced me that trans people are the most powerful group of people that has ever existed.

Haha I just keep thinking about my stupid, racist aunt who was so glad when the Obamas left "and we can have some class back in the White House again."

I just dropped in on my Senator's local office and you should do the same. He's a Reliable R but they asked me a TON of questions and took notes. Said ppl across parties are reaching out and they value the feedback. I'm still a cynic but he wouldn't have heard me at all if I didn't try.
