JC’s Journey: A Freedom Story

A 🧵

Few authors have more informed (and reshaped) my understanding of American history than Isabel Wilkerson.

I had the honor and thrill of hearing her speak the other night, and she shared a story and lesson I will never forget.

#NIH is hanging by a thread. The #CDC has been decimated. #RFK Jr. and Russell #Vought are psychopaths--I don't say this frivolously--they are cold, calculating, inflicting violence on millions through public policy. It is where we are right now. These men are not normal. 1/

The precise moment when and where in recent weeks America crossed that invisible line from democracy into authoritarianism can and will be debated by future historians, but it’s clear that the line itself has been crossed. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/america-ti...

Among all the excellent and compelling analyses of our current moment, this stands out as one of the clearest.
The existential national crucible that Donald Trump has brought to the fore with his experiment in disappearing people to a torture gulag in El Salvador presents us with one of the starkest test of values and the constitution our country has ever faced. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/has-americ...

If you’re looking for a good read to escape from reality, this is it! The whole series is wonderful - great characters, clever, funny, and the bonus is you learn something about history with every book!
What a breathtaking, unique, intense, and very funny tale! Wow, this story had everything, and the emotional impact is impressive. The historical retelling is stunning, and the storyline is twisted and dark. #AmazonReview 💙📚🪐 https://amzn.to/4fTzbHG

This is one of the most beautiful things ever. I’ll never get over it either, and I read it with delight every time it crosses my feed.
I will never, ever get over this.

American institutions—from the media to Congress—continue to underreact to the unraveling of our democracy. Overseas our media would not hesitate to call what we’re living through a full-blown autocratic coup. Here's my attempt at the story they should write: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/musk-trump...

Having watched with growing alarm the developments of the last 24 and 36 hours in Washington, I thought I’d take a stab at how the US media would cover this story if it was happening in a foreign country. Here’s that story that should be written this weekend: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/musk-s-jun...

Not just some people, but all people—on Earth—must watch this video and share it as widely as possible.

Every word of it is true, and it confirms that Elon Musk is a white supremacist leader stoking violence around the world.

His two televised Nazi salutes were exactly what you thought they were.

May we all find this courage over the next few years.
YES.

Public acts of defiance matter.

They offer hope, a model of resistance, an awareness that MANY others feel as you do, a vision of pushing back.

They join people in opposition.

They matter.
This matters. Not because I think Trump is capable of mercy or empathy towards these vulnerable groups. But because it is a public act of defiance.

Contrast that with all these other powerful people in this country signaling nothing but appeasement and obedience.

This breaks my heart. I am so sorry.
Sergeant Gonell @sergeantaqgo.bsky.social sent me this picture. This is his call log. Each call is an automated Dept of "Justice" notification saying "The defendant you testified against is being released from the dept of corrections."
Each defendant assaulted him.

Happy New Year from the poetic and philosophic NE Ohio Regional Sewer District, and from me too.
sewers mark time.

they are where yesterdays are forgotten and where remnants remain for tomorrows memories.

sewers are where we manage the trials of the day and work to make tomorrow better.

there will always be yesterdays to manage.

may 2025 treat all of us, and may we treat each other, kindly.
