I am a children’s book art director, and that’s it. That is my entire vibe. Oh, and pop culture stuff. Right right right—I’m also drawn to politics like a mosquito to a bug zapper. Going to try to save that for Threads and be on my be best behavior here.

forgiveness is only good when there is still a focus on harm reduction. Forgiving them or giving them grace would be doing the exact opposite. Not forgiving them is a protective instinct, not a sign of lack of character.

The person in charge now is 120 people down the chain, who posted that DOGE should be allowed to unleash hell. People are going to stop getting their checks. This is not my worry, it is O'Maley's, who was in charge last year and doing marvelous things that folks would have noticed in a Harris admin.

This is the way… “The elected officials in Washington have to stop protesting in Washington. They have to go back to their districts…show the consequences…show the school that isn’t operating…they have to make it real.” With social media, word will spread to neighboring districts—even red ones.

If Republican Fascists were serious about cutting tax dollars (even still just to give back to themselves), they would do to the industrial war machine and contractors what they are currently doing to the federal work force. Cap defense spending at half a trillion.

“At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? If it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.” —A. Lincoln
