One of the lessons I discuss in "On Tyranny":
Listen for dangerous words.

Text card: Listen for dangerous words.
Be alert to the use of the words extremism and terrorism. Be alive to the fatal notions of emergency and exception. Be angry about the treacherous use of patriotic vocabulary.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Banned Books Week

Last night I was at my branch of the Seattle Public Library (SPL) picking up a book (John Scalzi’s Kaiju Preservation Society, if you must know) and I saw the display for Banned Books Week. As some of you know, I think libraries rule and librarians are total badasses, and SPL in particular is one of the baddest-ass'ed of ‘em all (is too a wurd).

“I am making this statement in response to an unvetted headline, so basically, I’m lying my ass off, in the hopes that it will put pressure on the Dems to cave in to our heartless demands as gov. employees fear they won’t get paid”

They should withhold Congressional pay during shutdown too.

PandaChronicle ❌👑 @pandachronicle.bsky.social · 1d

it is a major problem. I worry about poll numbers thing because it’s one more piece of propaganda that make people feel like it is pointless to vote. Feeling threatened by troops present at poll sites will have huge suppression effect, but I don’t discount all the other ways to chip away at voters.
