It’s the same empire, just with better branding and worse syntax.

So yes, Kristi Noem is a puppy killer. [...] Her lies create the atmosphere where men like Silverio Gonzalez end up dead on their way to work."

Excerpt from Mary Geddry: "Trump’s mythology of discovery and domination, re-christening Indigenous Peoples Day as Columbus Day, meets Noem’s mythology of terror. Both erase reality to justify control. Both rewrite the living into caricatures so that state violence can be repackaged as virtue.

Chris Murphy: [...] Trump's behavior [...] is showing you exactly how serious the stakes are. Hours after the government shut down, the president announced that he was basically canceling spending in states represented by Democrats

The world's gone nuts. We are living in a parallel universe. Is there a way out? The 'good guys' seem to be paralyzed except for a few brave and inventive souls.

THE WEAVE: How Trump’s Chaos, Cruelty, and Gibberish Get Sold as Genius

"The Weave" is the weaponization of stupidity — chaos repackaged as genius, lies sold as leadership. It’s not weaving — it’s unraveling. A nation tangled in golden lies, mistaking noise for truth. Pls share NEW SUBSTACK 👇

THE WEAVE: How Trump’s Chaos, Cruelty, and Gibberish Get Sold as Genius

Every meltdown, every mistake, every incoherent rant is now branded “The Weave” — a desperate attempt to reframe delusion as design, and insanity as intellect.

A good intention that responds without any power at all to thugs who don't give a shit. All of MAGA, especially their cult leader. The cruelty and fearmongering ARE the point. No use appealing to their 'better natures'. And ICE 'agents' seem to have been recruited in prisons for violent offenders.

This sadly demented man doesn't realize *he* was president on Jan 6, 2021. Get him in an assisted living facility ASAP.

Jim Crow with GPS

The Supreme Court eyes the Voting Rights Act, Kushner eyes Gaza, and the odds of Trump lasting the term keep shrinking.

Mary Geddry: "Trump and his budget director, Russ Vought, are weaponizing the funding lapse to cripple the civil service, dismantle the state, and declare victory over the wreckage. Federal employees are being fired via letters delivered by the Postal Service, a literal government eating itself."
