“I just checked—it turns out that Art. II, Sec. 1 of the Constitution of the United States does *not* say ‘The executive Power shall be vested in a bunch of sociopaths who think they can do whatever the f*ck they want and make sh*t up as they go along.’” — George Conway

Collapse isn’t a single moment. It’s what happens when the systems people rely on keep existing on paper but stop functioning in practice. trib.al/hQNc1xE
Firewood Banks Aren’t Inspiring. They’re a Sign of Collapse.
Rural communities are banding together to chop firewood so that people in need can heat their homes. This shouldn’t be necessary.

Talk about snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Hopefully voters will primary and vote out every weak Dem senator who caved, plus the ones we are pretty sure used them for cover (Schumer, Gillibrand, etc.) our election joy didn’t even last a full week.

Excellent thread. I know I had some (bad) ideas about grammar and pronouns. However after getting to know some trans and nonbinary folks, my grammatical concerns stood revealed as irrelevant and completely unimportant compared to the well being of actual human beings.
tbh i think that the majority of americans are consciously neutral and unconcerned, but subconsciously negative and repulsed.
i also think that having trans people in their lives shifts this dramatically toward the positive very quickly, and the biggest problem is that we’re abstract to most.

this is also my read on the electorate
for instance I think it's likely that, as much as it is bullshit transphobia cooked up by bigots, the majority of people in this country don't want trans kids to play sports
but are they going to condition their vote on it? no, they don't care that much

Reading “Patriot,” Alexei Navalny’s autobiography, is especially chilling right now— the fact that the Trump regime is following the exact same playbook is unavoidable.

Well worth listening to.
The clearest, most on-point comment about the shutdown I’ve heard so far. Some angry rants make us smarter and sharper. This is one of them.

I got angry this morning when I saw a clip of a reporter asking Trump what I think is the wrong question. Here’s my very ranty response. (Trigger warning—cursing.)
