Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Many of us are echoing @timothysnyder.bsky.social's lesson in On Tyranny, "Do not obey in advance.”

A no less vital admonition that deserves attn:

STAND OUT

“...without that unease, there is no freedom. The moment you set an example, the spell of the status quo is broken, and others will follow."

Trump won by 250k votes across 5 states (out of 50).

That’s 50k votes per state.

Some states that’s less than half a percent.

Don’t you EVER tell me your vote doesn’t matter. Vote every election, every time, no matter what.

Zelensky: We are an independent country.

What the heck. Ukraine isn’t some company for you to buy up and ruin. Ukraine is an independent, sovereign nation that is at war with Russia who invaded them.

Musk has no business in international affairs.
