I have come to the conclusion that those of us who for whatever cultural, familial, genetic, traumatic and undetermined reasons are hyperaware and sensitive who are involved in some way in the creative/journalistic/artistic worlds have to not be afraid of being regarded...

But seriously, with the very meticulous and judicious methods and details that Jack Smith produced in relation to the white-collar criminal Donald Trump, this gotcha, this alleged perjury, was going to alter the universe, and what? Exonerate Trump? They're not even trying anymore.

And he added: "Goddamn right Kurtz in Apocalypse Now is the hero. What a pitiful excuse for a human being. What a puppy-faced, tattoo-laden, ridiculous excuse for a man. What a fucking psychotic wannabe fascist. "Hell yeah," Hegseth added. "Goddamn right Full Metal Jacket's violence is sublime."

Defeating the authoritarian apocalypytic evangelicals at the ballot box at local, state, and federal level is more than defeating Trump. He is the result of the rise of this conspiracy-fueled voting bloc over decades, not the cause...

Jack Smith: "History teaches that the rule of law is rarely destroyed all at once. It's often weakened by attacks on the institutions and the public servants sworn to uphold it. Since January 2025, we have witnessed precisely such an effort."

Everyone involved in these actions that amount to a brutal deprivation of basic human rights needs to go to prison. That includes the ICE agents, the government lawyers, and the immigration judge.

Of course they are. Authoritarians use the same playbook every damn time. Gaslight, enhance prejudice, magnify fear. Then clamp down on diversity. In other words, do what fascists always do.

I wrote about those who are being forced by events to see at least some of the damage Trump is doing, and the ways that his skyrocketing unpopularity opens doors for the rest of us.

On Trump as leader of a movement that will defend him nmw: This is the rule, not the exception. I am thinking of the defenders of John Nelson Darby. Darby popularized rapture theology in 19th c. Like DT, a gaslighter and likely sexual predator. The list goes back to King David in the Hebrew Bible.

Edward H Miller's Nut Country is not about almonds, but the Texas connection to the extreme right that now controls the Republican party. (Side note: Curious twist of history that powerful oil men more than once have been instrumental in pushing an apocalyptic evangelical/extreme right agenda.)

So The Daily Show had on UT Gov. Spencer Cox to hype his book abt the importance of dialog & debate for transcending "toxic divisiveness" & confirmation bias. He's the policymaker who ignored sci evid. & hlth assoc positions in achieving this... (But let's platform sci denialism bc debate above all)

One can speculate on the psychological contingencies that influenced such rulers as Elagabalus, but with Trump there is video, social media, etc. A case study in multiple syndromes.

It seems only appropriate, and should have been acknowledged long ago, that given the Dry Drunk's proclivity for randomly changing names of geographical features and this regime's virulent and vile racism and anti-immigration agenda, he should be referred to by his surname of origin: Drumpf.
