Disgusted with fascism already. Almost as disgusted with performative outrage followed by demands for money. How about you actually spine-up, then we will reward that, maybe. With votes. Don't assume our votes are a given.

tRump and the GOP are trying hard to fail at government to destroy us from within. They are succeeding while the dems lay down, cooperate and scream at the abuser. We have to constantly compare good government designed to work for the common good against fascism. Constant comparison.

Politicizing an illness and questioning if it is real scares people into hiding. The more I share my #LongCovid story, the more people confide in me.
“I don’t know anyone with Long Covid!”
I promise you that you do.
Long Covid is an invisible illness. You won’t know someone is impacted unless they choose to tell you.
Many folks hide their disabilities because the world is NOT kind to disabled people. Be an ally. Be someone we can confide in

THE CURRENT PROBLEM with pressuring those GOP Congress/Senators is that they've ENDED all Town Halls or public appearances, as per GOP Party policy, because they were being so publicly pressured by USA constituents. THUS, Americans must now reach those Reps' by demanding in person meetings w/ them.

JD Vance decided to come to Vermont to ski this weekend, and the people who work at the mountain are straight-up trolling him on official channels.
(Will post a local news link as soon as there is one. This is happening in real time today.)

Any psychologist or psychiatrist (or former abused spouse) will tell you that President Zelensky gave a master class today on how to deal with a malignant narcissist.
He is an amazing man. We can all learn from him.

fwiw I think all the Ivy League educated white dude journos are activists for their way of life—the status quo—they just also get to define what "objectivity" is. Only a person as privileged as Peter Baker can brag about not voting because "bias," as if being in the news nullifies citizenship.

Kennedy Center cancelling the Gay Men's Chorus is repugnant to the values upon which the institution was founded. SO IMPRESSED that Rhiannon Giddens then cancelled the Kennedy Center.
