AOC: I don’t care what Elon Musk is doing behind the presidential seal, but in this country we hate Nazis. Kind of like a foundational defining thing. Two of the foundational things about American history is that we beat the confederates and we beat the Nazis.

If you’re feeling despair today, I understand.

But Trump’s second term will expose a reality that's been hidden from many Americans: the raw, stinking power of the American oligarchy.

I’m hopeful that America will see this reality for what it is and respond to it. youtu.be/bepjl3orz1A?...

That Biden should have to issue preemptive pardons for men and women who defended the Constitution is a sad comment on Trump's vengeful nature.

MLK's quote about fighting on in the face of great challenges is perfect for Trump 2.0: "If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.”

The great enemy of freedom is the alignment of political power with wealth. This alignment destroys the commonwealth- that is, the natural wealth of localities & the local economies of household, neighborhood & community and so destroys democracy.

― Wendell Berry

It may be that when we no longer know what to do,
we have come to our real work
and when we no longer know which way to go,
we have begun our real journey.

The mind that is not baffled is not employed.
The impeded stream is the one that sings.

― Wendell Berry
