I really do believe that, by the way. Our cities are the most American places in the United States—they represent what and who we are in a way in an incredibly rich and profound way. And until we as a country accept that, embrace that, celebrate that, we're fucked.

Funny. The one that I've been thinking about for a while is *exactly* $4k

Our own government has done extraordinary damage to the economic and social fabric of this region, wreaking havoc for no discernible reason. It’s a terror campaign, not an immigration operation. It’s still happening.

Again, the very high probability outcome is a Democratic win & power transfer, but we still need to take seriously the low-but-unacceptably-nonzero probability that either/both the actual elections or the Jan 2027/9 post-election events will not happen as the laws & Constitution say that they will.
Look, by far the most likely outcome is still that Dems win in 2026 in a landslide, because Real Folkz hate fascism & these guys are Not Very Bright & things have gotten Out Of Hand.
But if you still think unprecedentedly authoritarian stuff is crazy & not a nonzero probability, I just don’t know 🤷♂️

The common 🧵 in every single election, from Susan Crawford in Wisconsin to Zohran Mamdani in NYC to Taylor Rehmet in Texas, is that a clear majority of voters don't like evil, hate, incompetence, & far right authoritarianism. The policy details are election-specific, but that's the hummable tune.

I’ll believe we shouldn’t worry about January 2027 like this when I see the president impeached & removed for any of the other 593 unprecedently illegal things that the norms, laws, & Constitution say that he simply cannot do & we have never seen done before.
If the president can rendition legal residents, cut funding for anything he wants, violate all of our treaty commitments, & can monetize the presidency, then he can try to not seat the next Congress/Dems in Jan 27. Folks who swore oaths should be preparing for what stopping that is going to require.

You feel like you're losing your mind because your idea of Christianity is not a white ethno nationalist identity cult.

The dull-minded fucks who are running things these days are not normal. They're not a majority. They're fucking weirdos & freaks, scared of their own shadows. Humans are creative, cooperative, & curious, they like novelty & diversity, they like movement & evolution & *life*. Fuck this death cult.

This worries me tremendously. They need to be talking NOW with specifics about how they intend to use the gavel. Every pending oversight investigation - and there should be dozens - should already be known today.
