It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Going to start doing RETVRN posting for basic government functioning. Going “this is what they took from you” and it’s a childhood vaccine schedule and pasteurized milk without any manure in it.

As far as I am aware Biden did not at any point between Oct 7th 2023 and Jan 20th 2025 call the only Palestinian American in Congress, a member of his own party, to check on her. Even when her grandmother who lived in the occupied West Bank died.

When we re-write the Constitution for the Second Reconstruction, we need an elected office dedicated to empty theatrics so that if voters are determined to be awful it is restricted to ornamental nonsense rather than substantive policy

With the return of Reacher I’d like to gently remind some of my liberal friends that there are multiple books in the Reacher series where the entire premise is “local cops corrupt, Feds are lazy and stereotyping”. It’s okay to let people like stuff without the lecture.

Every Democratic-party political professional needs to read and reread this post by @robynelyse.bsky.social about what we want, need and are frankly entitled to expect from them right now. And it’s not to be told they can’t do anything.

What I fear is going to happen is that Trump will be unpopular, we’ll get some sort of weird capital controlled stasis, and what we have lost in the past month plus will never get rebuilt. Just like a new normal of austerity and hollowed state capacity. It’s imperative to deliver a real defeat.

The past ten years has just been the same clutch of morons and apologists insisting that Trump would never cross that line and then shuffling along with him to insist that he would never cross that next one.

Having lived through the 1970s, when 90s musicians started dropping from heroin overdoses, I was incredulous. “We know how this goes,” I thought. But I suppose at any given time enough users you know seem to be doing fine you figure you too can beat the odds.

You never imagine the descent into despotism being quite this embarrassing, you know? You expect liberal democracy to fall to a Palpatine, not Biff Tannen.

And now my watch resumes… I wondered seriously if I should wait more than a day after watching TP:TOS and the prequel movie to start Twin Peaks: The Return, but I’m hungry now! Also, this is a watch, not a rewatch for me.

And once again, it is worth drawing a tactical distinction between people who voted for Trump (because egg, and also terminally checked out, and also at least a bit racist) and Trump Voters, because the latter is unreachable but the former is maybe not
