Disgruntled union democrat resists fascism and oligarchs one arcane but erudite literary post at a time. The resistance will be of shabby appearance and strong mind. I identify as Ethnically Ebullient Greek. Pronouns: try/me/motherfuckers.

What are the odds that Trump has instructed Pam Bondi and the justice department to look into any legal means by which the Thanksgiving turkey he pardons is himself?

I try not to propagate the salacious rumor mill but to hear Trump say, “I did not have sexual relations with that man,” and have *that* be the lie that gets him impeached… Oh dear lord.

a key thing about vought — and all of these guys — is that they have a totally top down and hierarchical vision of the world. they believe that the cultural changes they hate can be turned off by destroying the federal government because they can’t imagine that they emerged bottom-up in society

After the helplessness of “why aren’t the Canadians/Europeans/Australians coming to help us?” wore into “We don’t deserve to be helped” wore into “fuck all the rich democrats who are abandoning the poors” - our continued endurance, our simple existence, is the best act of resistance of all.

With ICE increasing its presence in and around Boston, I thought I'd repost this helpful guide for reporting ICE sightings in an effective way. Remember: S.A.L.U.T.E. You can report sightings to LUCE Mass at 617-370-5023 (the holine operates from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. in multiple languages)
REMEMBER!
S.A.L.U.T.E

Size/Strength
"5 to 6 law enforcement officers"

Actions/Activity
"harassing random people on the street"

Location/Direction
"Chicago, West of Millennium Park, on Michigan Ave"

Uniform/clothes
"Dark Blue uniforms that say 'Police ICE' on the back”

Time and date of observation
"12:45 PM January 20"

Equipment and weapons
"They have helmets, vests and batons"

Wife: I'll buy a subscription to any publication that writes one honest story about the "masculinity crisis" that just says "Men want to be able to treat women like shit and still get laid" and just be done with it. There's no more depth to the discussion. There is no nuance.

If someone tells you there's nothing we can do about gun violence beyond thoughts and prayers, remind them: —Gun laws in other countries have prevented mass shootings —More guns don't make us safer —A majority of Americans want gun reform We don't have to live like this.

Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users. While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.

‘O Pioneers’ by Willa Cather. “He was a little country boy, and this village was to him a very strange and perplexing place, where people wore fine clothes and had hard hearts.” One way to heal America, would be to help the country and city people know and not dislike each other anymore.

Though I usually keep the posts of what I am reading to a sentence or small paragraph, Chapt II or ‘Cannery Row’ by John Steinbeck is just two pages. An interesting portrayal of the split between ordered/straight laced proprietary and excluded human errata in a pre-fascist, pre-maga era.
