Nicest thing said to me today:

"You look uncomfortable everywhere all the time...like your shoes don't fit."

In addition to downballot voting, fierce community activism, involvement in policy implementation, and using any legal and legislative means available to fight this menace, this incoming admin needs to be ridiculed until it eventually get so riled up it stamps its foot and Rumpelstiltskins itself.

Lifelong Republican, and legislative staffer, Ryan Davenport, speaks out against Trump’s Texas redistricting scheme.

‘We can’t vote for Republicans anymore because you abuse every ounce of power you are given and the only option we have left is to join the Democrats….’

If you're lost about how to tackle and dismantle this almost comic book manifestation of a corrupt, exploitative, greed-fueled hellscape, it starts with understanding this, then getting behind and fighting beside those who understand this.

One of the most pro-democracy money moves one could make right now is to profoundly short this fascist pig.

We have to stand up for each other. There is no other way. I get it, but it is trying as fuck to force myself to stand up with and for anyone who voted against their own best interests by accident and ours on purpose. I mean, my whole thing is fuck them b/c given half a chance, they'd do it again.

As a lifelong Dodgers fan, this is excruciating. Will they make a statement by wearing #42 or at least vocalize disdain re: the attempt to erase Jackie Robinson's contributions from public record?

I'm aware that the US has much bigger problems, but baseball is a respite, and this taints it.
The Dodgers Are Planning to Visit the White House. It’s a Disgrace.
To meet with Trump now is to defile the memory of Dodgers great Jackie Robinson and to humiliate many of team’s own players.

Goddamn right!
Hello, Hope.
It's been a while.
Trump went all in.

Musk went all in. Said western civilization would end. Bought votes.

Presler set up shop there. Kirk and all the podcasters went all in.

The whole MAGA machine got behind Schimel.

$53 million in spending including PACs.

But Susan Crawford won easily.

There's a lot to do locally and nationally, and there are a lot of Americans who are getting geared up to face this battle head on on multiple fronts.

That said, it still pays to be mindful of the steaming turds this regime has left on the global stage.
