Last night’s article in the Washington Post about D.C. police responding to a 911 call by illegally letting DOGE onto private property is unlike any news story I have ever read. Every single person should read this article and think about where our society is going.

@letterboxd.social I have a question. When I filter my watchlist by movies that are available streaming on my favorite services, I am seeing films that... are not available streaming on my favorite services. Examples: Never Say Goodbye (1946) and The Last Shot (2004). Why is this happening?

Your reminder that bad actors who espouse fascism will eventually come for you. Even if you look exactly like them and behave exactly like them, you're not immune. Greed is eternal. People have deluded themselves by thinking that because a wannabe strongman goes after the marginalized...

Defeating Donald Trump is the only way to save democracy, but crushing him is the only way to stop fascism.

Another note about voting and the right to do so. There are forces gathering right now to deprive people of the right to vote. Sure, you might say, those are Other people. Not me. Think again. You can always lose this right if the people in charge are sufficiently craven, cynical, and mendacious.

Do you enjoy having a say in your nation's elections, however small that say may seem? Then don't vote for a fascist. Fascists do not like people having a say in things, particularly if their say is diametrically opposed to their own.

Kamala Harris for president | Endorsement

There has never been a more important presidential election in our lifetime. The road to the White House may well run through Pennsylvania and every vote matters.

Under federal election law, paying people to register to vote, including via entry to a lottery, is illegal. Under Pennsylvania law, any unregulated lottery is illegal. Under federal law, a PAC coordinating and campaigning with a candidate is illegal. I'm in the camp that says laws should matter.

"[S]omething is fundamentally broken when it requires a coalition that ranges from AOC to Liz Cheney to elect a pro-democracy candidate. Democracy is designed to mediate the differences among those who believe in democracy, not resolve the conflict over whether to have democracy at all." 👆👍

One of my favourite things. I think about this a lot.

Kurt Vonnegut tells his wife he's going out to buy an envelope:
"Oh, she says, well, you're not a poor man. You know, why don't you go online and buy a hundred envelopes and put them in the closet?
And so I pretend not to hear her. And go out to get an envelope because I'm going to have a hell of a good time in the process of buying one envelope. I meet a lot of people. And see some great looking babies. And a fire engine goes by.
And I give them the thumbs up. And I'll ask a woman what kind of dog that is. And, and I don't know. The moral of the story is - we're here on Earth to fart around. And, of course, the computers will do us out of that. And what the computer people don't realize, or they don't care, is we're dancing animals. You know, we love to move around. And it's like we're not supposed to dance at all anymore.

Hunter Thompson published this six days after 9/11.

We are At War now, according to President Bush, and I take him at his word. He also says this War might last for "a very long time."

Generals and military scholars will tell you that 8 or 10 years is actually not such a long time in the span of human history— which is no doubt true—but history also tells us that 10 years of martial law and a wartime economy are going to feel like a Lifetime to people who are in their twenties today. The poor bastards of what will forever be known as Generation Z are doomed to be the first generation of Americans who will grow up with a lower standard of living than their parents enjoyed.

That is extremely heavy news, and it will take a while for it to sink in. The 22 babies born in New York City while the World Trade Center burned will never know what they missed. The last half of the 20th Century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what's coming now. The party's over, folks.
