I was foolishly invited to a swanky business awards dinner Tuesday night where I mingled with the Great and the Good and found myself chatting with a proud Trump voter. Look at me, all patient and understanding of the other side! Here’s a little thread of my adventure in reasoning 👇🏼

The most insightful critique I’ve ever heard of right-leaning “doomsday“ preppers is not that preparing for the worst is inherently stupid - it isn’t - but that REAL prepping isn’t zombie-movie larping, it’s building community by anticipating and addressing the needs of others as well as your own.
"How do I prepare?"
You help people who are going thru it right now.
Because this forces you to build the community relationships, infrastructure, and operational rhythm that you need to protect yourself.
Sending aid to others builds resiliency at home. None of us are free until we're all free.

this is what “the revolution will not be televised” actually means
It's incredibly demoralizing to constantly see the highest institutions of government and academia and the most important and widely seen news outlets knuckle under one after another, but then to see the gulf between that and the bravery of communities and neighbors and teachers - that's something

This is real and it is happening.
We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

When people taunted Proud Boys at protests, I would always tense up a bit.
They are weepy, easily-triggered, prone to absolute rage at the tiniest ego slight.
And now these same sorts of men are staffing death squads that the Vice President of the US claims have "absolute immunity."

Stephen Colbert on the ICE murder of Renee Nicole Good: “The message from this administration is clear. Only they determine the truth. And when their forces come to your city: obey or die. And if you die, you clearly didn’t obey. This should be an alarm bell for the entire country.”

You lying piece of shit. I chaired the Minnesota DFL for all three of your runs here. I watched you lose. Three times. Minnesota never bought your con. And now, as Chair of the DNC, I’m looking forward to ending Trumpism for good in 2028 — not with lies, but with votes. Again.
Trump: "I feel I won Minnesota. I think I won it all three times. Nobody has won it since Richard Nixon won it many many years ago. I won it all three times in my opinion. It's a corrupt state ... I did so well in that state. The people were crying every time after."

If hundreds of people can lose jobs for accurately describing Charlie Kirk's career, seems like it shouldn't be a big deal to fire a guy for killing someone.

It’s shocking how well the tenures of the Bushes and especially Trump have totally vindicated Richard Nixon. Even despite (or with?) Clinton, Obama and Biden, it’s been a straight line down into hell 😡
Americans just don't know what to do as Trump keeps revealing the fatal flaws in the system of government that they've always venerated.
As long as it was all kept under the covers people could pretend that everything was as they learned in civics class, and Nixon was an aberration. But no longer.

Blatant politicization of DOJ powers.
"The assistant attorney general will not work out of the Justice Department, the vice president said. Instead, the position will be run out of the White House and overseen by President Trump and Vance, he said."
