I haven’t had a Facebook account in a decade. A rare choice in my profession. But I continue to be surprised that others are so paralyzed about the idea of deleting their accounts. Stories of Meta’s ripping off your photos and putting into AI stories should be a last straw. But no one cares anymore

That Boston Globe story on the lesbian bar civil war stuck with me. It’s brilliantly written, encapsulating the progressive wing’s psychotic zeal for purity that there’s zero tolerance for dissent. It’s anti-progress. This paralysis gives Trump life. Tragic. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/09/22/m...

Quite a recent pattern: - GOP candidate in Fla. marched alongside neo-Nazis - Husted fires aide over Nazi photo - Collins fires aide over swastika images - State Dept hires speechwriter whom DeSantis fired over video with Nazi imagery - Trump rewards Paul Ingrassia, who said he has a “Nazi streak”

Republican state legislative candidate marched alongside neo-Nazis, adding to pattern
As a rule, state House candidates’ backgrounds tend not to generate national headlines, but once in a while, there are important exceptions.

Please stop saying “lockdowns.” There were never true lockdowns in the US, and it fuels far right narratives to repeat this inaccurate statement. You can say closures, you can say restrictions, or better, you can say public health measures which saved many lives.
