One weekend in mid-August, hundreds of inmates at a minimum-security prison in Bryan, Texas, were locked down, except one: 63-year-old Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein’s convicted accomplice in the sexual abuse of underage girls. She was expecting a secret visitor. www.wsj.com/us-news/ghis...

White people who have spent decades thinking “Born in the USA” is patriotic and “Every Breath You Take” is a great wedding song are suddenly very concerned about not being able to understand lyrics to some songs at the Super Bowl halftime show.

I found a 19th century Cat Villain!
A huge chonk of a fluffy cat sitting on a table near an open fire. The cat is cream and grey and appears to be shaped like a barrel in a fur coat. They are scowling fiercely with their moustache and bewhiskered ears apparently flowing back into the cold wind. There's a definite vibe that this villainous cat twirls their moustache as they evict orphans into the aforementioned blizzard and think Scrooge was an easy-going lightweight. They are magnificent.

Diversity is our strength, no matter what racist, bigoted Republicans say.

Real Americans embrace diversity, equity and inclusion.

Real Americans reject Trump and his white nationalist cronies.

Trump is bad, project 2025 is bad and the people who love America, the real patriots reject both.

Absolutely crucial point here by Greg Sargent. When we don’t call propaganda what it is, we co-produce it, and hasten disaster.

MAGA Implodes over Kristi Noem’s “Stare Down” with Man in Chicken Suit
A good New York Times piece on Portland nevertheless demonstrates how the conventions of objective reporting fail to accurately capture the bad faith driving pro-Trump propaganda.

Given what we're watching in Portland...

Here's information on attacking dictator-types with humor and mockery.

It's been branded "laughtivism."

And the Portland frog is showing how it works.

6 days to No Kings 2.

Today: listen to Timothy Snyder, and COMMIT to attend a No Kings event this Saturday.

Timothy Snyder is one of our most important voices against Trump's tyranny. He URGES us to show up at our local No Kings 2 protest. His full comment can be found here: buff.ly/xURuVya.
Poster quoting Timothy Snyder: "Being against kings is about being for freedom. And it's about loving America, because loving your country means wanting it to be the best version of what it can be. Not the worst. Loving your country means showing up."

This is not Switzerland, not Canada - this is Ukraine, where every season paints the mountains anew.

Autumn ignites the Ukrainian Carpathians. Golden ridges, fiery-red forests, and misty valleys reveal a beauty unlike anywhere else.
