I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed

The rich have shamed poor people into silence to such an extent that almost no one knows how absolutely crushing it is to be poor in this country.

Don't forget that Zohran Mamdani spent his entire campaign standing proudly beside the trans community. He went to trans rights rallies just to show support. He proudly waved trans rights flags without hesitation. He refused to back down in support of trans rights. That makes me happy.

The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right.
The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter.
Everyone must choose which side they’re on.

The diminishment of prominent Black journalists is the latest indication that a period of progress in America has ended and a period of retrenchment is in full bloom.

It’s going to break your heart how many people you know, love, and respect will turn out to be cowards. Prepare yourself as best you can. You are not alone, but you are your own center. Be a strong center.

The only conclusion left is that the administration just wants to kill people because it makes them feel good and powerful, and because they are white supremacist eugenicists.
Vance saying “I don’t give a shit” that bombing a boat of Venezuelan migrants is a war crime says it all.

Mulling over white people calling this administration a new confederacy.
My suspicion is that the thought is somehow comforting because the North won.
Here, the fascists are already in control of the entirety of the federal government.
This is not a white supremacist rebellion against democracy.
