Clinging to every hope that I can. This is the man who wrote On Tyranny, and he knows his way around the propaganda machine. Just a tiny speck of happiness this morning.

#Tennessee #Protest #UVOTN TN already has some of the most draconian bullshit laws around protesting dressed up in language about rioting. Doing this now is TN lawmakers compliance with the regime (not that it's a surprise). One stop shop to silence protesters + disenfranchise voters.

Here's video of Steve Bannon doing a Sieg Heil today at CPAC. It is what it is and it's what Bannon intended. Don't let yourself be gaslit.

Everyone that told me I was overreacting? That this is just business as usual? That he is the same as the Dems? That it isn’t that big of a deal? Disrespectfully, fuck you. I do not bow to a king and I will not serve tyrants. These wanna-be despots have got to gtfo.

This will be easy to avoid. Hotel stays are pretty much always less expensive after all the cleaning fees that are ridiculous because *I’m* expected to clean anyway, and AirBnB itself has proven to be shit so I don’t really want to use them. But also fuck this guy. Now I definitely won’t.

Grimes has asked Musk not to use their child as a PR appendage. he ignores her. and often won't let the child see her. So the WH meeting was itself an example of Musk abusing Grimes and his child.

So yeah, even after a bunch of accidents that highlighted FAA staffing shortages they still went ahead and fired FAA staff. They don't know what they are doing.

I’m clinging to hopes like these. But we have to keep at the fight. “Something that gives me some slender comfort … is that so far, full fascism has historically never taken hold in a place as diverse as the present-day U.S.” Thoughtful and thought provoking piece by @smathewss.bsky.social
