I think it's good to keep getting mad about evil and unjust things, if only to remind yourself and everyone else that these things are in fact evil and unjust. I don't think it's naive. Nor is it wise and sophisticated to adopt a "You fool, nothing matters and nothing good can ever happen" posture

Facts matter. Trump is trying to restrict mail in voting by taking control of who is eligible. That’s up to the states, but Trump has decided the states can’t mail ballots to anyone who isn’t on his list. Read here to understand the EO & lawsuits challenging it: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

1. Throughout history, leaders have committed acts of civil disobedience to challenge unjust laws. Add Samantha Boucher to that list. Boucher walked into the Kansas Statehouse bathroom in front of police, deliberately violating one of the most extreme anti-trans law in the country.

using "ither" and "ence" as suffixes suggests a whole alphabet of new words, xither we use them or not www.qwantz.com/index.php?co...

T-Rex: "Here", "there", and "where" tell you where something's CURRENTLY at, and they are reasonably cromulant.

T-Rex: BUT WE CAN DO SO MUCH BETTER.

T-Rex: If you want to say where something came from, you don't need do say "from here", "from there", or "from where" - because HENCE, THENCE, and WHENCE do it FOR you!
Dromiceiomimus: But they're so old-timey!
T-Rex: Aha, but Dromiceiomimus, we live in the present! We're BY DEFINITION the most current people!

T-Rex: So if we use these words, then baby, they are BACK!
Utahraptor: And how!

Utahraptor: But what about direction? Going TO here, TO there, or TO where?
T-Rex: Great news! HITHER means "to here", THITHER for "to there", and WHITHER means "to where"! We can use these words right now!

T-Rex: I'll go whither?
Off panel: Go thither, thence hither!
T-Rex: I shan't, but I loved hearing that I could!!

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.
