I’m going to try something a little different.
I think we could all stand to have more positive thoughts and ideas, especially when so many things “feel” different than what we expected.
Let’s see how this goes.

The biggest divide in America today is not between “right” and “left,” or between Republicans and Democrats.
It’s between democracy and oligarchy.
The old labels — “right” and “left” — prevent most people from noticing they’re getting the shaft.
Know the truth.

One of the things that needs to become clear in 2026 is that big changes are possible if you pitch them. Talk positively. Explain the pros and cons like an adult. Be enthusiastic. Repeat the idea. Answer questions about it. Sell the notion that we can make things better. People want to buy in.

Kind of wild that while food assistance was withheld from millions of families, one Trump-supporting billionaire (Ellison) saw his net worth grow more this year than the entire SNAP budget. And the YTD gains of the other four richest men would’ve fully covered salaries for all 2M federal employees.

I am usually more sanguine than some others when the Supreme Court hands down nasty opinions, but y'all, I am really stuck on Noem v. Vasquez Perdomo.
Presidential immunity was dangerous but unsurprising. Many other shadow docket rulings have been dumbfounding. Today was nakedly invidious.

The billionaires who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us.
They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see that they have all the wealth and power.

The GOP governors of South Carolina, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee have all sent their states' National Guard troops to assist Trump's occupation of DC.
All four of those states have cities with crime rates higher than DC.
This was never about "fighting crime."

This is a gross overreach of the Federal Government.
It is a coup.
The level of hypocrisy and outright sycophancy shown by supposed “limited government” proponents is staggering.
America, I implore you, say “No.” Don’t comply. Resist with every fiber of your being.

There is no moral equivalence between bullies and the bullied, between tyranny and democracy, or between brutality and decency. No individual can be free in a society devoid of justice. There can be no liberty where brutality reigns.

Here are my thoughts re: the “summit” in AK.
1. Missed opportunity to execute one of the greatest clandestine military operations in history.
2. A war criminal willingly stepped foot on U.S. soil. Prime target.
3. Instead, we got Kabuki theatre ran by a buffoon.

John Boyne says LGBTQ+ fiction prize backlash brought him ‘close to the edge’
Gender critical novelist urges writers to reenter prize they boycotted and may ask judges not to shortlist his novella
The gender critical Irish novelist John Boyne has said he has been brought “very close to the edge” by the backlash to his inclusion on the longlist for a literary prize for LGBTQ+ authors.
Ten authors and two judges withdrew from the Polari prize and more than 800 writers and publishing industry workers signed a petition calling on Polari to remove Boyne’s novella Earth from its longlist. Continue reading...

Pay attention to Senators in the Republican Party attempting to move into Governor seats. Tommy Tuberville, Marsha Blackburn. Alabama and Tennessee. Nancy Mace in S.C. There's a political restructuring in the south. Senators shifting to positions of Governors for control of state military forces.
