@ernie.tedium.co (Side bar: new NIN is solid… but I would love to hear something more low-fi, garage synth like Pretty Hate Machine… or ethereal and experimental like the soundtrack pieces with Atticus. This sounds a touch more polished and “radio-play” ready.)

The current administration is waging war… against US. The people. All of US (red,blue,left,right…). GOP is scared - won’t help. Dems are incapable - can’t help. It is left to us. Using all levers (recalls, protest, boycott…) A low-grade civil war has been roiling for years. We are ALL in now

@betoorourke.bsky.social Shame on you. Distilling the failure of the media, our elected officials and most importantly “us” the electorate into a “Biden fault” narrative is irresponsible and reprehensible. Part of the problem, yes… a single or even significant explanation: no. You are better.

Quote of the Day

“We might very well lose the greatest country that this world has ever known. And it might be in part because of the decision that Biden and those around him made to run for re-election.”

The Democratic Party is not an effective opposition. Full stop. The GOP no longer exists. The reason MAGA (which is effectively a party of Unitary executive theory, ergo Authoritarian) can run rampant - our system simply did not sufficiently provide a bulwark for an attack from within.
