I'm here to crush fascists and watch cute animal videos, not necessarily in that order.

I've always been weird, but I don't think I began to realize how weird until 4th grade or so, and didn't realize I was a full-on freak of nature until 7th grade. Fortunately I've grown into my freakness and it's awesome

There are a lot of decent people doing good work right now, and hope is breaking through. As a result, our enemies are thrashing about and lashing out in extremely dangerous ways. We must be alert and aware and resist overwhelm and panic. Where can you contribute?

NYT: Neighbors have taken to the water to protest him. Calling themselves “kayak-tivists,” they form flotillas facing his island home, holding waterproof signs conveying their disappointment. A local columnist recommended that people in town give him the finger. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/01/u...

John Roberts and His Island
After decades of potlucks and paddle-boarding on Maine’s midcoast, rising anger and protests have left the Supreme Court’s chief justice more isolated than ever.

The main argument I've heard is the fear that the billionaires will take their ball and go home (i.e. pull their wealth and businesses out of CA) if it's only a state tax; they want to wait til 2029 and try to do it nationwide so the rich don't flee

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:
Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads: 

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."

Which is not to say we're powerless. Indeed, the opposite: the entire reason we perceive this impulse as 'fascism' rather than just 'normal politics' is that we have succeeded in building a world that is *better* than fascism. That is not natural, it is a creation of our effort!

People want to be “America is good” or “America is bad” when the truth is there have always been bad Americans and good Americans. Our task is not to judge then lie down, it’s to organize the good Americans and increase their numbers.

So many folks want to deracialize politics (don’t talk about race, pretend it’s not fundamental to people’s lived experience) in order to get to “real” material/affordability politics but that doesn’t work. What does work is *interracializing* politics. That’s where Mamdani’s admin is expert. 👇🏾

Watching ICE agents literally run away from a Mount Laurel Starbucks without their coffee because the neighborhood completely rejected them is pure gold. South Jersey will make you unwelcome every single time you show your faces.

Come to think of it, do any of those "rural diner" pieces ever really feature rural women, or POCs? It's always white male Boomers in trucker hats, because apparently they are the standard of what constitutes "American", and the rest of us are just inauthentically taking up space.
