this is something that individual members of Congress could do tomorrow. The government is shut down so they could use their district offices. I suggested in January that they turn those offices into full on community centers where people could find each other re: mutual aid etc...
If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.
Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

I took my seven year old to her first protest yesterday. When we got home she said she wanted to paint something but wouldn’t tell me what. She was very proud of it, I cried, it was awesome. #nokings

I admit I don't follow this world too much -- I pay attention to the main fascists not the pseudo intellectual fascists.
But here's Curtis Yarvin, who JD Vance is reportedly a "disciple" of, arguing for the institution of slavery. He tries to dress it up in bullshit, but its slavery.

Occurs to me that Trump's entire regime consolidation strategy is to persuade everyone through displays of force that the regime is already consolidated and there's no point in resisting. Which I don't think will work, but also shows how important public acts of noncompliance are.

It is very difficult, when organizing people in this moment, to balance two true things in tension w/ each other:
1. The threat is bigger/longer than you are perceiving and you are underreacting on offense
2. The threat is less proximate/powerful than you fear and you are overreacting on defense

they want to be accepted as mainstream so badly. people like gutfeld, hannity, glen beck, limbaugh (still dead) wanted to be comedians but couldnt hack it so they took the easier course - be a right wing media asshole. but in their hearts they want to be in the mainstream circle.
"After being introduced, Gutfeld literally leapt out from behind the blue Tonight curtains and into the arms of a seemingly surprised Fallon, who carried him around for a few seconds like he was Chris Kattan’s Peepers character from SNL.
That was a choice."
