Opinion | As a Republican senator, I know America would suffer if I lost my job to a right-wing zealot. That's why, to hold onto my seat, I'm voting exactly the same way that they would.

Open unto me, light for my darkness. Open unto me, courage for my fear. Open unto me, hope for my despair. Open unto me, peace for my turmoil. Open unto me, joy for my sorrow. Open unto me, strength for my weakness. Open unto me, love for my hates. - Howard Thurman

Anyone else feel like life is being written by a 3rd grader?

Then the crazy man decided to came back, even tho no-one really voted for him. The End."

Notice how it's always "America was founded on Christian principles!" until it comes to welcoming the immigrant, helping the poor, feeding the hungry, bringing healthcare to the sick, forgiving debts, caring for our planet, laying down our swords, or loving our neighbors.

Golden hour silver apocalypse van. That seems glib. I don’t know how even to speak to myself of the wreckage of Asheville, the force and volume of mountain streams filled over hours with the weight of a warming ocean. This tells you, me, almost nothing.

All democracies should have regularly rehearsed contingency plans for successfully repelling domestic attempts to overthrow democracy. With aspirational autocrats increasing trying to seize power, we shouldn't discover how resilient our democracies are only at the point when they face overthrow.

Lee Jae-myung, Leader of South Korea's Democratic Party, live-streamed himself scaling the walls of the National Assembly to bypass military barricades so that he could vote to overturn the President's martial law.

South Koreans who went to sleep before 10.30pm will have slept through the president declaring martial law to overthrow democracy, a military siege around the National Assembly, lawmakers scaling walls to bypass barricades, a vote to overturn it & the president vowing to imminently end martial law.

Of course I’m glad Gaetz went down, & my fingers are crossed that Hegseth will follow—nobody as Christian nationalist as him has ever been this close to power. But I’m troubled that the only way to stop them is via their alleged sex crimes. Fascism is apparently not a problem.

You know what I find particularly Orwellian? Analysts and commentators "making sense" of the election for us focus on every blaming excuse for the loss—instead of what actually happened. The US was psychologically manipulated, divided by hate and disinformation, until reality itself turned to mud.
