I am a human who likes other humans. I also twerk for my cats. (I like to drop it like it's lukewarm.) I do not tolerate fools lightly, this is my safe space. I will block early and often!

So why did WaPo fail to cover this? And why did they cut this line from my letter? “The public deserves to know more about this 2nd phase of the NG deployment & whether they are intentionally targeting schools. Stars & Stripes reported this, but few details have been shared with the public” 11/

Yes, yes, the authoritarian president is leading a hate-filled rally in which he urges his followers to physically assault protesters but do NOT call any of these people Nazis or you will make David Brooks sad.

And then they staged an insurrection at the capitol and everyone was like "oh wow, where did that come from?" and my question was "what the fuck did you think was going to happen?" Still is.

during his previous term I had a running thread on the old site of examples of Trump inciting violence against political opponents interspersed with occasional reminders that no American newspaper had ever called for his resignation or impeachment over it.

just a casual reminder that inciting violence against his political opponents and others he dislikes has been a core feature of Donald Trump's approach for more than a decade. It is a defining characteristic of Trump and his movement, but rarely centered as such by corporate media.

So, if you're feeling tired, burnt out, or discouraged, do what you've gotta do. Tend your wounds. Hug your cat. Watch some bad TV. Don't argue in circles with strangers on social media. Don't tell everyone they're doomed. The world does not need your particular spin on giving up.

It's not about placing themselves at the top. They're already at the top. It's about putting us more firmly under control. Deskilled, devalued, hyper-surveilled, desperate. That vision of fascism won't be defeated in the next two elections. It's a long fight.

Multiple things are true here. This is a fascist, authoritarian administration. It has not yet fully consolidated power. Some of its efforts to do so have been frustrated. Trump is a doddering, confused egomaniac who started an unpopular war that's costing everyday people a lot of money.

Pretty telling that this opinion piece from someone who works at a conservative think tank has no positive policy case to make for Collins. Both the Collins campaign and Maine Policy Institute are focused on superficial issues over actual policy #mepolitics www.pressherald.com/2026/10/11/t...

Huh. Apparently Katie Miller deleted this tweet that I had the foresight to screencap. Turns out I can TOO make things go viral on Xitter, even.
My RT of a Katie Miller tweet which RTed the NYPost coverage of the Ilhan Omar raid. 

She said: Promise made, promise kept.
I said: Katie Miller is not going to do very well in a deposition.

There will be a lot of equivocating about all the times search warrants have been executed on members of Congress for corruption investigations and the like, and it can't be stressed enough in how many ways HSI raiding Ilhan Omar is extremely not like that.

When Dems talk about the Ilhan Omar situation, they need to stop using language that implies that Omar might have done anything wrong. Trump is not "investigating" Omar. They are trying to denaturalize and deport a sitting Congressmember by scrutinizing decades old paperwork from when she was a kid
