just collateral damage when trumps ego is in the mix.

we have been told for some time now that management of trump is best done by stroking that ego. I am now convinced that it really is as simple as that. if it aligns with his compulsions, stroke away and you have your stooge.

unique snowflake here.

(really good article)

it was almost painful to watch the shuffle, shuffle, shuffle, shuffle

yes. and the emotional scarring was permanent.

great movie.

*thud*

a pleb and their money are soon liberated [from each other]

nah, I’m done.

its what we have at the moment.

social organization and resistance in america is almost never around a simple, single fulcrum - look at the multipronged approach of the right for the past 40 uears.

I have been watching last night and all day today and there is just enough progressivism on display from a diverse group of dems to open cracks and widen fissures for more expansive ideas.

every opening is an opportunity to attack the problem (both party and public) from both the inside and the outside. and while the dems try to get some momentum, keep connecting locally with likeminded people willing to stir shit up - whatever that may mean to you.

edit: words

from a state with two republican senators, thank you!

had to go to my local post office today and had a great convo with the person behind the desk - they were watching booker on their lunchbreak and we had an awesome moment of connection over this. I reminded them that there was still so much love out here just waiting to be organized.

You mean Rubio being confirmed unanimously

useless hope that he would be somewhat sane. an admitted massive fail.

Courts which the fascists ignore, like fascists tend to do.

righteous indignation over ignored court orders can burn white hot in the public - its part of a legitimate process.

Now if you would just realize that the deadwood centrists (actually center right to right wing) are actually almost all of them

well, yes. there is enough upheaval happening in this moment to force something. something will shift. what comes next (and how it comes) will almost certainly be different than what we have seen previously.

perfect! push!

both. as he said its “good trouble”. unlikely to change course, but really useful to show other dems that a backbone is useful and people will support you.

also good info being passed out to anyone that will listen.

tell your friends. get them on the stream - especially right now. great back and forth conversation happening.

on fire right now! nice.

watching. serious thanks for the heads up.

that is a genuinely profound statement.

couple that with first past the post voting and you set the voters against each other in some convoluted “least worst” competition. tyranny is inevitable.

K aint psilocybin-but yeah… I think musk may be beyond redemption.

trump really has no ideology beyond self-aggrandizement, gross displays of power and pursuing the path of least resistance (appealing to the most stupid). thats it. that the whole ballgame.

this left/right narrative fails to accurately describe this putrid creature.

During his visit to Greenland, Vance added, “We can’t just ignore the president’s desires.”

yes. yes we fucking well can.
