Got my Christmas card sorted out.
Red Christmas card with a selfie of a bearded man beside a rock-star cutout and four houseplant photos arranged like a tree. Gold text: "Merry Christmas, The Parsons Family." The plants are presented as the family members.

But when Democratic voters do consolidate around a single person to "throw the bums out," whether that be current frontrunner Kamala Harris or some outsider candidate, it will almost certainly be the candidate who can most credibly promise the creation of a new, post- Trump political order. The demand that unifies the Democratic Party's base in 2026 is simple: oppose the Trump administration and impose consequences for the rampant lawlessness they have observed for the past two years.

I'm getting really sick of seeing rapists just get to promote rape on TV and in the government day in and day out with no consequences or truly any reaction at all at this point

A different but somewhat parallel example: in Albuquerque, there was a statue of the conquistafor Don Oñate in Old Town until 2020. Oñate's subjugation of the Acoma pueblo was so violent that the Crown banned him from returning to New Mexico. Or, as Sister Catherine puts it,

@caddington11
if there's one thing you learn from my twitter feed, let it be that "you gotta judge them by the standards of their time" is easily done, because for every chronicle of colonial Spaniards' genocidal actions there's a contemporary who petitioned the Crown to punish their crimes

It's almost as if there were a decades-old pro-Palestinian activism infrastructure on college campuses and not a decades-old anti-Right infrastructure. Also, Palestinian encampments were making demands of the universities. Which demands do you want students to make of universities now?

Last month the NYT said AOC "struggled" to give an answer on Taiwan and quoted her with "uhs" and "ums" to make her look stupid Yesterday talking about Hormuz Trump claimed he's heard from "numerous countries" and said "uh" four times. The NYT deleted the "uhs" and paraphrased him to look smarter:
NYT on Feb. 13, 2026:

The visit also demonstrated the relative foreign policy inexperience of Ms. Ocasio-Cortez, who has made a few overseas trips since taking office but does not sit on any House committees devoted primarily to world affairs. She struggled at times to formulate succinct answers at a nighttime panel session, during which she was asked probing and specific questions about how to respond to international crises.

Questioned about whether the United States should send troops to defend Taiwan if China invaded the island, she stalled for roughly 20 seconds before offering a substantive response.

“I think that, uh, this is such a, a — you know, I think that — this is a, um — this is of course, a, uh, a very longstanding, um, policy of the United States,” Ms. Ocasio-Cortez said, before saying that the country should try to avoid reaching that point with China in the first place.NYT on March 16, 2026:

On Monday, Mr. Trump claimed that “numerous countries have told me they’re on the way,” noting that President Emmanuel Macron of France would most likely help in the Strait of Hormuz and was an eight out of 10. “Not perfect, but it’s France,” he said.

Others are not demonstrating sufficient enthusiasm for his demands, he said.
