Hard to see @pbsnews.sky.social become a mouthpiece for hatred by platforming people like this. I was prepared to defend PBS from threatened cuts, but I will not waste political capital to save another regime propaganda outlet. Very sad.

I had 2 simultaneous responses. 1) I don't want to speak the same language as fascists, the language of violence. 2) My resistance strategy of honest transparency is likely going to result in me having a lot of uncomfortable, beautiful, painful, and just plain weird conversations in public places.

I replied that it still pains me that so many people will suffer and die in the mean time. He looked me in the eye and said, "The only language fascists understand is violence."

The man behind me in line overhead and quipped that every day since the inauguration he looks at a photo of Mussolini‘s dead body, hung upside down and beaten and abused by Italians. He said it gives him comfort to know that this is how the current fascists will die.

I wish this platform offered a broken heart emoji, or a lightning bolt of rage.

What an infuriatingly weak and ineffective message and strategy. You're still playing legislative games as if Congress is still relevant while Trump/Musk squashes it and you with executive overreach. BE A LEADER AND *DO* SOMETHING.

I am disappointed and angry that you joined the caucus at all. Your constituents want protect and obstruction until the lawless takeover ceases. I— we!— will remember your collaboration with Musk in the next election.

Mine started out tidy and have devolved into a beautiful chaos, but there are folk in my department with pristine shelves, even some organized by color (beautiful, also baffling). My shelves look like my ADHD mind: grouped by connections that make sense to me but that don't follow usual categories.
