Yeah but should be marked as satire. Bc reality is so dumb it can be hard to tell these days

This appears to be fake. Reality is bad enough, no need for the misleading stuff

This kind of logic would have sidelined MLK and, more recently, Sen Warnock. People can and should talk about what values inform their politics. It’s important to know.

Maxine Waters really did a number on that guy huh

Thanks for this. I haven’t given a cent since 2024 to any of the big groups bc I have zero confidence they won’t use it to shore up washy incumbents against better primary options.

The other big thing WRT to Andor compared to where we are is that the Trump admin is not even a fraction as powerful as the Empire. They’d like to be, but we shouldn’t grant them even that illusion. Apart some some propagandized 20-25% or so, most of the country doesn’t like what they’re seeing

Good to know. That’s been since I cancelled as well, wasn’t aware of it

I saw it in a response to a QT but wanted to bring it to their attention in case it was a typo rather some will lewis-ordained MAGA stylistic shift

No one writes like @adamserwer.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once. Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave. Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesive—because of its diversity and not in spite of it. Minnesotans have found and loved one another in a world atomized by social media, where empty men have tried to fill their lonely soul with lies about their own inherent superiority. Minnesotans have preserved everything worthwhile about “Western civilization,” while armed brutes try to tear it down by force.

Ha I like this read! And given his experience at the Battle of the Somme, I imagine it felt more straightforward to paint enemies in a more simplistic and totalizing way.

Kathleen B. Hudson @khudson.bsky.social · 26/01/2026

Agreed. I imagine Tolkien would have written things a little differently in the modern era in any case

Kathleen B. Hudson @khudson.bsky.social · 26/01/2026

Honestly the plot makes much more sense in that light than in the “nostalgia for the better blood of our ancestors” stuff that does crop up in the musings of Theoden and Denethor. Although those two are not designed to be reliable narrators at all!

Kathleen B. Hudson @khudson.bsky.social · 26/01/2026

…which is still very much about finding strength in unexpected places, the proud being humbled, and sacrificial love overcoming the cruel weight of power

Doing a listen with the excellent Andy Serkis-narrated audiobooks and all the stuff of blood and race is sticking out more than I remember from a couple decades ago when I last read them. I can see why it appeals to the white nationalist bros but their ethos is so at odds with the heart of the story

Kathleen B. Hudson @khudson.bsky.social · 25/01/2026

It’s pathetic folks like this can’t conceive of people acting bravely or generously out of care, no transactional element involved at all.

Kathleen B. Hudson @khudson.bsky.social · 25/01/2026

I’ve lost count of how many glossy magazine pieces I’ve seen like this. God forbid anyone else was right *too early*. “Listen to me, a brave truth teller, who is seeing the light at exactly the right time. Now….where’s my check?”

Kathleen B. Hudson @khudson.bsky.social · 25/01/2026

Yep, and the reason people buy it is that a ton of famous comedians and podcasters and oped columnists reinforce it constantly. These rest of us remember normies and even conservatives horrified at the manner of George Floyd’s death and businesses cancelling events in NC over the bathroom bill.

We’re with you!! Hoping our state doesn’t get a turn in the barrel too, but if it does, you all have given everyone a courageous example to follow

It’s fine! Changing rapidly and the military contingent is fairly ethnically diverse. I grew up in evangelicalism so the orgs headquartered here aren’t operating in a foreign language ha

100%. One of my close friends died of a heart condition brought on by a treatable childhood illness. Her mother was in a cult that shunned medicine. That woman should never have been allowed to abuse her daughter by withholding vaccinations and standard care.

I initially read it as a short story too. Wasn’t until some random details and repetition that i started to wonder

Currently on the easel. Thankful for a job that keeps me on the search for the most beautiful, moving sights I can find in nature. It’s too easy to forget we live in a world of wonders.

People rage posting like that guy are bumming me out. Your post was helpful bc videos often don’t show the broader context (lone pedestrians being targeted, for instance).

How do you not feel like a chud making this kind of post at someone doing actual work on the ground? Please log off for a bit

Kathleen B. Hudson @khudson.bsky.social · 12/01/2026

Right, and those things are related. What’s the point of any average citizen putting it all on the line if Dems will just do a couple fundraising texts and then vote for Trump’s budget in a month to avoid a shutdown? We’ve seen this video before

Kathleen B. Hudson @khudson.bsky.social · 06/01/2026

Absolutely. I can’t figure out why they haven’t blocked the site in most of Europe, where countries tend to lead the way on better Internet policy. If the rest of the world were blocked from using it, it would just turn into another truth social eventually and Maga would lose interest

Kathleen B. Hudson @khudson.bsky.social · 28/12/2025

Agreed, it’s not something the Dems can meaningfully deploy although I do think they should try in order to have republicans on record. Also the downside if they succeed is Vance in power, and he’s more cunning and ruthless and ideological. Plausibly worse on a bunch of issues than Trump himself

I don’t hate that he’s running, the more folks like him to take up centrist oxygen in the primary, the better 😆

The tenor of that article does seem a bit different from my memory of coverage during both Biden and Obama’s approval lows, which were higher than 36% 🤔

I got my first pedantic reply this week and chuckled at it

I said 20, not 50 lol. Things changed fairly quickly between the 70s during schlafly’s main counteractivism and the late 2000s.

Also wild how much the Overton window has shifted. I was a conservative student all four years at Harvard (no longer, ha), and folks expressing this stuff would have been laughed out of the room by the conservatives of 20 years ago

Is there a primary challenger that folks are consolidating around?
