"People should not be afraid of thier governments. Governments should be afraid of their people." --- #VForVendetta

My name is not in the Epstien report, redacted or not.
Pinned
Just finished re-reading V for Vendetta, which I have every couple of years since the 90s.

If you think the movie is good, the book is 1000x better.

And more prescient now than ever.

People should not be afraid of thier governments. Governments should be afraid of their people.
This one is far enough out that it shouldn't spoil anything.
I play #Wordle. I start with ARISE, since it has 3 vowels and 2 common consonants.
One morning, I thought I was being clever when I said "you know, RAISE would probably work better, as there are more words that start with R than with A" 🤨

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

I'm going to laugh really hard if California successfully changes its election map in response to a Texas map that no longer exists. #TheArtOfTheDeal

MAJOR NEWS: Federal judges, including a Trump appointee, just BLOCKED Texas Republicans from using their new gerrymandered congressional map in 2026, ruling it was likely an illegal racial gerrymander. TX must revert to its 2021 map as Trump’s redistricting power grab collapses.

Thomas Massie to CNN on the Epstein files: "This vote is gonna be on your record for longer than Trump is gonna be president. And what are you gonna do in 2028 and 2030 when you're in a debate … and they say, 'How can we trust you? You covered up for a pedophile back in 2025.'"

Waiting for all the breathless coverage about the all the people of color shifting blue in this election, since the shift to Trump a year ago was treated like a colossal re-ordering of the electorate that signaled the end of wokeness and progressive politics.

After those results, the Democratic response to GOP pressure to cave on the shutdown should simply be

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

Telling moment: I was walking back from the rally, but a couple miles from it, carrying nothing but my gigantic American flag. An eight year old on his bike sees me with it and yells "No Kings!!" with absolute conviction.

My friends, they have lost the flag.
