“pull yourself up by your bootstraps”
This was originally *sarcasm* & meant to convey that the act was impossible.
A boot strap is a loop used to help put your boot on.
This 1921 cartoon from the “Nonpartisan Leader” showcases that you can’t pull upward on your boots to levitate.

In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write to a famous author & ask for advice.
KURT VONNEGUT - born 103yrs ago today - was the only one to respond.
His reply was a doozy.

11 November 1921 | A Dutch Jewish woman, Alida Content-Levie, was born in Meppel.
In October 1942 she was deported to #Auschwitz. She did not survive. Her younger brother Max (in the picture) was murdered in a gas chamber.

And if we must attack Dems, it should be to promote better Dems
🔥
I'll repeat saying it again even though I'm confident that it may not convince anyone to refrain.
If you are attacking Democrats over what they've done rather than going after Republicans for what they've done, then you are working for the wrong team if you like democracy and rule of law.

The news is going to be terrible every single day for the foreseeable future. Do not get wrapped up in the daily discourse. Think about what role you can play IRL to help the ppl around you. There’s probably ppl already doing what you think should be doing, join them. If not - GO DO IT! We need you.
One solid way you can fight back today & everyday is to look out for your neighbor, & not just in theory. If you’re in LA, someone in your building probably needs a mask. Someone living outside probably needs a meal. That person being stopped by the cops needs someone to record what’s happening.
The way forward is the same as it’s always been - organize your neighborhood, your household, your workplace. Nobody is coming to save us except ourselves. Look out for one another.

Democrats have to stop bailing out Republicans from facing the consequences of their own policies. And yeah, that means they have to stop sparing voters from experiencing what GOP government truly means.
Every time Dems step in, it only emboldens the GOP & they make it even worse the next time.

So Democrats get:
1. A CR that will prevent the GOP from facing the wrath of Americans for a shutdown over the holidays
2. A coupon for one (1) meaningless ACA vote that will fail
3. An end to the illegal RIF/SNAP moves that are already before the courts
Those all seem like wins for the GOP.

64 also, and echo the sentiment except to say that the fascists have always been with us, right from the start, before there was even a name for it.
They were the Royalists in 1776, the Confederates in 1865, the Hooverites in 1932.
They were the Know-Nothings, the Klan, the Birchers.

I am 64 years old and FOR MOST OF MY LIFE two things were true:
- fascists were trying to take over the USA
- we were beating them
Those creeps are beatable. We beat them for decades. In the 30s they tried a form of MAGA and US beat them. The 50s? McCarthy purges. US beat them.
Do. Not. Doom.

What is he even talking about. This would be an objectively worse outcome than a ground invasion.
At least with troops on the ground we could theoretically attempt to impose stability, aid reconstruction, and prevent state collapse. This is exactly what went wrong in Libya.

There had better be trials. And not just for the low-level thugs carrying out these orders, but for everyone up the chain of command.
If we get past this, the solution isn’t to pretend it never happened and invite Stephen Miller to Harvard’s Institute of Politics.
It’s trials w real punishments.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.
