“Monsters exist,” wrote Primo Levi of his experience at Auschwitz. “But they are too few in number to be truly dangerous. More dangerous are . . . the functionaries ready to believe and to act without asking questions.”

Last ATC transmission from tower to the helicopter and then seconds later the crash, “PAT25, do you have the CRJ in sight? PAT25 pass behind the CRJ”

James Madison - Government must be “sufficiently neutral between the different interests and factions, to control one part of the society from invading the rights of another.”

For those who love to quote the Founders.

FEUDALISM - subjects owe loyalty to the ruler rather than the state. Personal allegiance or fealty to the ruler is what counts. The vassal swears service & obedience to his overlord.

Sound familiar?

Boy - Nikki Glaser is NOT funny. And trashing people one after the other is so old.

BORING already, just 25 minutes in.

My Navy son, deployed to Korea, hung up our call when he heard Silent Night being sung in Korean. He headed to the church and just texted me: “It’s a free lunch. I got dragged in by the arm😂”

Xmas knows no bounds.

Merry Christmas 🎄

Trying to make sure the Troops don’t get paid right before Christmas is a special type of evil. But it’s Trump, so being awful to those who serve perfectly tracks.

A shutdown threatens stability of enlisted personnel. Military will be required to work w/o pay. THIS is what Republicans are doing.

🧵Gonna keep saying this, until our leaders listen.

GROW SOME BALLS, DEMOCRATS!

Stop making excuses.
Stop negotiating with terrorists.

Just do shit, by whatever means, executive orders out the ass.

Sign the ERA, forgive all student loans, legalize pot, ALL OF IT.

Make them take it away.

Victoria Finlay’s Color: A Natural History of the Palette is such pleasure. Her research is in depth & impeccable & her twist of phrase, poetic.

On Black & Brown: At 1st I found it odd to include black or brown in a book called Color [b/c what] had intrigued me was our magpie needs 4 shiny colors.

I've been looking at the universe of voters in GA who cast a ballot in 2020, but didn't vote in 2024 and are still registered in the state. There are just over 1 million such voters. Not surprisingly, they are modeled as more likely Dems.

Baptist minister, Ben Boswell, asks what will we do in this Bonhoeffer moment in the face of a fascist administration? He has a powerful message.

Oh - and he was fired for this sermon.

A reminder:
A thing everyone has forgotten is that Donald Trump basically sprang Roger Stone from prison so he could help with the coup and it was maybe a one day story.
