It’s great that so many people are trying to start therapy right now, but I regret to inform you that the amount that the average American therapist knows about helping people cope with the rise of authoritarianism is exactly zero.

On January 6th, 1995, my (now ex) wife and I boarded a flight from Heathrow to JFK on a one way ticket. We had two suitcases and about $900 in cash - this was everything we owned and we were moving to the US. We thought it was maybe for 2-3 years. I had visited the US once, for a conference, and

NEW: A Harris campaign organizer says senior officials ordered them to erase voters who asked about Gaza—marking emails as “no response” so they’d be removed from outreach. No engagement, no persuasion, just ignored. “The only clowns are the ones who decided to abdicate on this.”

Heard a good story from a dog park pal about a white lady in Napa shutting down ICE. She saw a bunch of black SUVs with Texas plates parked at a restaurant, went in and saw officers demanding papers. So she asked to see warrant. Called it out as one of the fake ones w/o judge signature. They left.

“There’s still this idea that news is only ‘real’ once it’s confirmed by big corporate outlets. After all, could one woman with absolutely zero institutional backing in leggings and a sweatshirt in her NYC apartment really be the one to break such an important story?
