Congratulations everyone, Big Brother wasn’t imposed on you, you bought Big Brother on Prime Day and installed him yourselves.
It was inevitable.

I think this is how we get a Nazi Lost Cause for the rest of our lives - at a minimum - as all the people who supported fascism just hand it down to their kids and grandkids because there were no repercussions. This is how America continues to fight the Civil War and WWII for yet another century.
Nuanced take: I think it's really important to give *normal citizens* who supported Trump and off-ramp and *professional writers, pundits and politicians* who supported Trump should have to wear it like a scarlet letter for the rest of their lives
This is aggravating, because on the one hand I think it's really important to give fascists an off-ramp and positive reinforcement when they use it...
...on the other hand, FUCK that guy, in particular.

America as an idea means nothing to them, and they believe it means nothing to anyone else.
They're mistaken, and of all their mistakes it just may be the one that costs them the most.

One of the many differences between Trumpism and past mainstream conservative movements and even far-right movements is that Trumpists make minimal to no attempt to claim and use traditional American symbols, aesthetics, and texts. Mostly, it's straight-up monarchical and Nazi messages.

Hope that all my #SvenPals are having fun watching #Svengoolie tonight - my kiddo is taking her first airplane flight in a few months, so we watched a DVR’d Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein tonight instead. No need to create more stress over that. ;-)
Enjoy, guys!

Lynwen Brennan, new co-president of Lucasfilm, has been with the company longer than Dave Filoni.
She started in 1999 at ILM, later became the president of ILM and helped solidify it as the gold standard in visual effects globally.
Let's celebrate her promotion with Dave 👏

Given the timing, we consider this to be targeted harassment as punishment for exercising our First Amendment rights.
We're still handing out free whistles. And we just got in hundreds of new yard signs.
Keep resisting, Minnesota. We love you.

DHS employees entered our store this afternoon and served us a Notice of Inspection, demanding copies of I9 forms for each employee.
In 27 years as shopkeepers, we have never been subjected to this type of investigation.

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.
