For all the damage he causes, it amazes me how little a man Donald Trump is, using AI to cosplay himself as a Sith Lord or the pope, with his followers cheering him as a mastermind trolling. That that is a virtue that some value in the President of the United States is sad.

Thank you Mayor Wu. Boston is the birthplace of America and he wouldn’t be the first to try to bring Hell with him to Boston. Hell freezes over here. We know how to deal with tyrants here.

Elon had a busy weekend functioning as ReichChancellor, seizing funds and organizations he has no right to.

I heard someone say this man, pardoned by Trump for January 6 and just slain by police, has a seat in the Ashli Babbitt FAFO seating section. I’d like to think they’re looking up at us. And in all seriousness, to remind these were - and are - violent and dangerous people. Whom Trump freed.

One of the most chilling things I reflect on on Holocaust Remembrance Day is it was all “legal”. When Anne Frank was found she was arrested. Miep Gies broke the law to help hide her and others.

After you’ve read On Tyranny I recommend William Sheridan Allen’s The Nazi Seizure of Power which documents the seizure of power in a single German town, showcasing fascism at the local level. I read it for the first time as a college text way back in 1989. It’s been revised and is very readable.

I’m no longer Christian (or part of any faith) but I’m pretty sure Trump isn’t either. He certainly didn’t like being reminded about what that Jesus guy taught.

Hey remember the Mirror Universe in Star Trek? They borrowed a “Roman salute” to show the Terran Empire was evil. No reason to bring back that up today. Does Elon Musk like Star Trek?

I think we on the left are ignoring just how much norms have broken down. The power of the #supremecourt is based on tradition and the assistance of other branches of government. #trump could easily ignore them - I’m sure he’d give some pretense but it’s something to prepare for.

I miss him. But he was such an inspiration throughout his life. And remains so after his passing.

DO NOT GET LOST IN A SEA OF DESPAIR. DO NOT BECOME BITTER OR HOSTILE. BE HOPEFUL, BE OPTIMISTIC. NEVER, EVER BE AFRAID TO MAKE SOME NOISE AND GET IN GOOD TROUBLE, NECESSARY TROUBLE. WE WILL FIND A WAY TO MAKE A WAY OUT OF NO WAY.
~ REP. JOHN LEWIS

He fought - nearly died- for Black Americans to have the right to vote. And he lived to see a Black American become President. And lived to see reversals. And he never ever gave into despair. He reminded us to make #goodtrouble.

John Lewis warned not to give into spare. He reminded us the fight is not for a day, a week, a year but a lifetime. Beyond a lifetime. He knew from both his heritage and experience battles won would have to be fought again and again.

I may have accidentally made a perfect final post on TikTok should the ban go through on the eve of Trump’s return . At least perfect for me, combining my geekiness and politics, showing a John Lewis quote backed by Obi-Wan warning of the fall of the Republic and rise of the Empire.

David Bowie January 8, 1947 - January 10, 2016. Easily my favorite artist. A man who reinvented himself countless times and was never afraid to try something new. Who looked at his approaching death as an artist. Who taught me to embrace being a #kook #davidbowie

So #hr7 wants to make certain #womenshealth includes that important consideration… men.

Whereas health care for women should also address the needs of men, families, and communities as they relate to women's health care;

To be clear #meta is welcoming targeted #misogyny and #lgbtq hate on their platforms, a despicable example of obeying in advance and providing fertile soil for an authoritarian regime.

If #donaldtrump wants to expand the US so much, why doesn’t he fight for the right of self-determination- independence or statehood for the #usterritories of #puertorico #guam #americansomoa #usvirginislands #northernmarianaislands ?

@nytimes.com wrote that “It was not clear how serious the president-elect was about some of his comments during the news conference. At one point, he suggested that his administration will rename the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America.” Yup we’re for a return to the insane celebrity president.

I had forgotten how exhausting #trump can be with his mix of the bizarre and fascist. In the span of a few days - hours for some - he’s mocked Canada, threatened to jail his enemies, and declared the environment is up for sale. And he’s not even in office yet #politics

My thoughts on how #trump might try to end #birthrightcitizenship via executive order, #14thamendment be damned. Hint. It involves a lot of chaos.

The Libertarian party of NH would like you to kindly die. This is a party I’d not mess with. They know how to get shjt done. They once governed a town in NH. It would have worked too if they hadn’t been unable to do things like manage garbage and prevent bears from overrunning the community.

The killing of Brian Thompson, United Healthcare CEO, has some shocked at the glorification of a crime. It got me to thinking how America has lionized criminals in the past - like bank robbers in the 1930s. I think the choice of target was notable. Failing banks took away American fortunes. 1/

Had occasion to remember the original Superman was a working-class hero. In his first appearance he burst into a Governor’s mansion to save a death-row inmate. He forced mine owners to dig in their own dangerous mines.

Star Trek presents a future without material need. Is the replicator the reason? Looking at our world I’d say the answer is no. If the replicator existed it’d be monetized. At least in the USA we could provide for everyone today. Probably the world. But we fear helping the undeserving. #startrek

I’ve been working my way through a second viewing of #StarTrekDiscovery with my wife (her first). And I’ll say I really like Michael Burnham. The idea that she “cries” nonstop and just talks about feelings seems kinda laughable. That she shows emotions seems healthy.

Dusted off draft of my first attempt at a novel inspired by a real-world 1923. Discovered it’s not an embarrassing disaster but definitely needs a big ole rewrite. Thinking a second “first draft” may be in order as opposed to “revising”. Need to really work on tightening a primary protagonist.

On TikTok someone was telling me the Federation of Star Trek would be anti-abortion. I responded with a video of Riker dealing with a clone being grown without his consent. #startrek #prochoice
