We cannot keep asking our children to be brave enough to survive school shootings. Our leaders must be brave enough to stop them.

The Gulf Monarchies — a small group of royals on top, a group of citizens underneath them who enjoy rights as long as they're loyal to the regime and then below them a huge group of quasi-slave guest workers with no rights at all — is considered a model for what conservatives want for the USA

Aaron Swartz, coding prodigy and hacktivist who helped develop RSS and was a co-founder of Reddit, died by suicide after facing $1 million in fines and 35 years in prison for felony charges, just for downloading pdfs of research papers with the intention of making them accessible to the public.

ALL we have been begging for since February 2025 is that politicians channel our burning anger. I don’t know why it’s so hard for most of them, but anyone who does it has my undying loyalty!!

The correct Democratic position on every issue is “I will undo everything Donald Trump has done, I will destroy everything he has built, and I will impose consequences on him and everyone who helped him do it.” No negotiation. Rip it all down.

LOL, "distracted and detracted from the power of the message." What message? Democrats, as a party, don't have any "message" because their leadership (backed by vestiges like Axelrod) leap in to quash good messaging whenever it bubbles up. "With Natalie" has been a slam dunk with zero downside.

Stancil gets at a key point here which is that, substantively, one of the major policy efforts of the Trump administration is to take people with legal status and transform them into people without legal status in order to create more “illegals,” because there are too few undocumented people

👇🎯 The closest person to articulating this "We're going to rewind everything & this time put everyone in jail for the authoritarianism & corruption" approach is Jon Ossoff, & I do not think it is coincidental how quickly his profile has risen as a potential 2028 presidential candidate.

This concept was introduced to me as "run the dishwasher twice" and was an important part of my executive functioning recovery as well as my path to self-acceptance.
When I was at one of my lowest (mental) points in life, I couldn't get out of bed some days. I had no energy or motivation and was barely getting by.

I had therapy once per week, and on this particular week I didn't have much to 'bring' to the session. He asked how my week was and I really had nothing to say.

'What are you struggling with?' he asked.

I gestured around me and said 'I dunno man. Life.'

Not satisfied with my answer, he said 'No, what exactly are you worried about right now? What feels overwhelming? When you go home after this session, what issue will be staring at you?'

I knew the answer, but it was so ridiculous that I didn't want to say it. I wanted to have something more substantial.
Something more profound.

But I didn't.

So I told him, 'Honestly? The dishes. It's stupid, I know, but the more I look at them the more I CAN'T do them because I'll have to scrub them before I put them in the dishwasher, because the dishwasher sucks, and I just can't stand and scrub the dishes.'

I felt like an idiot even saying it.

What kind of grown ass woman is undone by a stack of dishes? There are people out there with *actual* problems, and I'm whining to my therapist about dishes?

But he nodded in understanding and then said:

'RUN THE DISHWASHER TWICE.'I began to tell him that you're not supposed to, but he stopped me.

'Why the hell aren't you supposed to? If you don't want to scrub the dishes and your dishwasher sucks, run it twice. Run it three times, who cares?! Rules do not exist.'

It blew my mind in a way that I don't think I can properly express.

That day, I went home and tossed my smelly dishes haphazardly into the dishwasher and ran it three times.

I felt like I had conquered a dragon.

The next day, I took a shower lying down.

A few days later. I folded my laundry and put them wherever the fuck they fit.

There were no longer arbitrary rules I had to follow, and it gave me the freedom to make accomplishments again.

Now that I'm in a healthier place, I rinse off my dishes and put them in the dishwasher properly. I shower standing up. I sort my laundry.

But at a time when living was a struggle instead of a blessing, I learned an incredibly important lesson:

THERE ARE NO RULES. RUN THE DISHWASHER TWICE!!!"

similar to "oh how do you *want* them to cover Trump huh?" and you can point to like "the way they covered Biden after the debate" or "the way they covered Claudine Gay for some reason" as templates of them clearly knowing how to do the thing and just refusing to do it.

The Constitutional Crisis started in 2000. You've been living through it your entire adult life. The reason politics feels hopeless is by design — conservatives broke our democratic form of government to guarantee that the people cannot act against them and are continuing to break it.

John Roberts' Constitution forbids any attempt to proactively ameliorate racial discrimination and racial inequality, but permits open racial discrimination as long as there is a facially neutral explanation available, even if it isn't remotely plausible. This, my friends, is "Colorblindness."
