watching the shock and horror as trump’s cabinet roles are announced and thinking everyone needs to get familiar with this word

screenshot of a dictionary definition of kakistocracy:

government by the least suitable or competent citizens of a state.
"the danger is that this will reduce us to kakistocracy"
• a state or society governed by its least suitable or competent citizens.
plural noun: kakistocracies
"the modern regime is at once a plutocracy and a kakistocracy"

Olivia Troye on preemptive pardons: "I have not done anything wrong. I know that ... all we're doing is speaking the truth. But in today's environment, in terms of what's to come under the Trump administration, I think that's something that we're all thinking about."

I just ran into the main plaintiff and their family in the hallway of the Supreme Court in the skrimetti case today, and we all hugged and now I’m in tears in the press room. I thanked them profusely. Trans people deserve equal protection. We deserve to live like anyone else.

TRUMP: I’m going to use the FBI illegally to go after my political enemies! BIDEN: Um, I guess I’ll pardon my son then because fuck that. MEDIA: Biden is breaking norms!

Is this it now? Are we finished? We’re staying here and giving it a go, right? There isn’t some billionaire lurking in the board room about to pounce and ruin it all again?

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

I am such a believer in this. Down-ballot is the way. It’s also how we build a sustainable future of good leaders and infrastructure to elect and support them, as well as the movements they represent. We don’t just need strong candidates. We need strong organizers, managers, CoS, grassroots, etc.

They have a point.

I’d like separate bathrooms for MAGAs. I feel unsafe around people who are obsessed with my genitals.

Whoever writes the definitive book about the collapse of democracy in American needs to devote at least one chapter to the writers of twee headlines — twee, useless, obfuscating, minimizing.
