Maybe corny but it was helpful for me to hear Henry Rollins saying "this is not time to be dismayed, this is punk rock time, this is what Joe Strummer trained you for... You can be thunderous in your own life, to the eight people around you. That rubs off... Goodness is viral"

I think we need to start doing this with every opportunity we have. Misgendering a MAGAt is something subtle we can do that is sure to irritate them. Petty? Perhaps. Worth it? Probably.

Read every word of this transcript if you dare. We have left Idiocracy in the rear view mirror. www.theverge.com/elon-musk/61...

There isn’t much that can make my jaw drop these days, but this did it.

This nailed it. I’ll never understand the level of hero worship for this greedy fascist oligarch.

Awesome that we re-elected the putz that catastrophically mismanaged the response to the last pandemic. Ace job, America.🥴

Just when everything seems too awful to stand, I’m treated to a picture of Luke Skywalker with a smiling dog, and I’m reminded that there are still good things in this world.

The level of facepalm is off the charts here. Not only does he have no plan, he doesn’t even understand the difference between debt and trade deficits. Unreal.

First Super Bowl blowout in years. Thanks, Trump.

Do you suppose the folks at the DOJ know that these agents don’t necessarily choose which cases to handle?

Great question.

We elected an awful person as president, and he keeps doing awful things. Who could have predicted this?🤔

RIP, David Lynch. I was late to the party, but I eventually discovered Twin Peaks years after it first aired. It truly blew my mind.

As a stepfather of two trans people, a marginalized group that the right wing targets ruthlessly, I worry about this a lot. I also worry that it won’t take them long to realize how expensive it is to incarcerate people and how it would be less expensive just to make them disappear.

Today may have actually been the worst day of my life, compliments of depression. Yikes.

Depression is a monster. If you struggle, I see you. You are not alone.

Yeah, fascist but not crazy seems to apply here. Preferring DeSantis to anyone says a lot about the other guy. But the fact that we find ourselves in this position is shocking.

1. In April 2024, California raised the minimum wage for fast food chains to $20/hour The industry claimed it would be devastating & require significant job cuts and prices increases Here is what really happened: workers got a raise, prices went modestly, and the industry continued to add jobs

Nearly a month following the election, this article is the only thing I’ve seen or read that has offered me a glimmer of hope. All the same, I am tired, and the task at hand feels daunting. America, you really screwed the pooch, and it will take decades to fix this. It didn’t have to be this way.😩

It’s been weeks since the election. On election night, I stopped speaking with the few Trump supporters/apologists left in my life. Every time I consider reconnecting, I stop short. If you support a r@pist, I don’t think we can be friends. I need to plant my flag somewhere. Have I been too hasty?

100%. I’ve applied this to my personal life as well. The righties in my life seem to love to agitate me. I’ve just stopped responding, and I literally left the chat in one instance. Don’t give them oxygen.

I have not watched cable news since the election. To maintain your sanity, do what you must.

This thread touches on a lot of points I’ve been making to friends and family. Scary stuff.
