I make a fake-history (OR IS IT?) webcomic called The Kraken Busters, about the US' struggle with sea monsters after World War 2. It's drawn to look sort of like Bill Mauldin illustrating a Ken Burns show. It rules, I promise you.

Conservative politics for the next 20 years will be various attempts to relitigate 2020, and it will be important to keep that in mind whenever anyone tries to get you to admit they have a point.

Other people have said this before me, but man, for its many faults 2025 is at least a feast year for movies

Had a conversation a few days ago with someone who kept referring to him as the reasonable, grounded republican who could make some noise and I felt like I was speaking to a visitor from another planet

No Kings protests, and anti-regime protests in general, serve two main positive functions:

1) Reminding participants and observers that they’re very far from alone, countering regime efforts to divide and isolate

2) Showing the absurdity of regime lies about the peaceful, pro-democracy opposition

Funny they can't say the name of protests because saying "No Kings" makes it soooo clear it's the opposite of a "hate America rally"

Emmer: "This is about one thing and one thing alone -- to score political points with the terrorist wing of their party, which is set to hold a hate America rally in DC next week."
