Email from my grandfather, who likes to say he's lived for a third of the time that America has existed: "America was nice while it lasted, although it's really hard to believe a criminal narcissist TV show host that paints himself orange was all it took to take us down."

I try not to repost, but this validates, with many more data points, what I had already concluded: We are in deep kimchee. And we might be too late to stop this fascist coup.

Portrait of the everyday America, struggling to hold the republic together for the people: standing at the open freezer door, eating ice cream straight out of the container with a fork, trying not to think about how close the oligarchy coup is to taking over everything.

As long as he intends to deport American citizens, I would volunteer to be deported to either Greenland or Iceland. This is a case of the "don't throw me in that Briar Patch, b'rer fox" gambit on my part. To Green- and Icelanders, I'm often funny, and I have a lot of books.

I grew up in a family of mainstream Eisenhower republicans. They hated Nixon. In that spirit, although I am a far left guy, I admire and respect George Conway @gtconway.bsky.social He is the best version of conservative America you can find. We left-folk should give careful listen to him.

Fifa must pull out of the US for this WC. We're in the middle of a corporate coup, ffs. We can't watch you play a game while our neighbors are being disappeared into secret camps and our citizens are being shot to death by masked, unidentified fiends. Jesus, Fifa. Wake up! #Fifa

Whatever is in the files is so bad that the #ManchurianCantaloupe sent 3 or 4 battalions of goons into Walz's MN to warn off any shaky republicans thinking about independence. Like...dunno...just maybe names of every big deal corporate psychopath on earth? #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

Before you get too comfortable, considered that the #ManchurianCantaloupe will likely be gone by late summer. The eye of Sauron is based in Southern Ohio and it is waiting to Just aDVance at the right moment. If that happens, All Is Lost. The time to act, peacefully and decidedly, is right now.

If @msnowreports.bsky.social had an atom of journalistic gut in the organization, they'd be moving their entire production and staff to MPLS rtf now. "But...you know...it's really far and...NYC and nice restaurants, really convenient and...". $$$ talks, freedom walks. Right. We know...PRESS OFF.

An excellent read. My quick take: Don't prepare for conflict. Prepare to vote. The fragility of the US is the oligarchs' greed. The best way to strike, is to show up to work and put your hands in your pockets. **Figuratively speaking** you don't have to fight "it." Just don't feed it.

Amanda Gorman wrote this poem for Renee Good and that’s it for me tonight.

Post from Amanda Gorman’s Instagram that says

amandascgorman
Minneapolis, Minnesota
For Renee Nicole Good
Killed by ICE. on January 7, 2026
by Amanda Gorman
They say she is no more, That there her absence roars, Blood-blown like a rose.
Iced wheels flinched & froze.
Now, bare riot of candles, Dark fury of flowers, Pure howling of hymns.
If for us she arose,
Somewhere, in the pitched deep of our grief, Crouches our power,
The howl where we begin,
Straining upon the edge of the crooked crater Of the worst of what we've been.
Change is only possible, & all the greater, When the labour
& bitter anger of our neighbors
Is moved by the love
* better angels of our nature.

I don't like to repost, but this is timely. The fundamental problem is not Republican party or democrat party. The fundamental problem is wage inequality and a nation that has been given over to the oligarchy. They are cashing out. R or D millionaire doesn't matter. #WeWillAllBeThinnerSoon

For the record, neither this basil plant nor I ever had any contact whatsoever with Epstein, Maxwell, or any person associated with them. Simple, isn't it?

In my second decade of addiction recovery I'm here to say, if the US funded Addiction Services at the same level we throw bombs, we wouldn't be a market for what the bad guys are selling. And we wouldn't need the bombs either. Maybe we could feed a lot of kids with the money we'd save.

I was a child, home from school, coloring on the floor in front of the TV when the show went off. I called out to my Mom. She rushed into the living room and I saw a light in her eyes go out. It took another Naval Officer, Mr. Carter to spark light in my own. How far and fast we fell since.

Here's something to make you lose sleep. What if the Epstein files are a distraction from criminality far worse than that contained, documented, reported in those files? Using this pedophilia ring to distract us... We don't even want to ask, "What could be worse?" #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

I've been impressed by Bruce Springsteen, he never quite climbed into my Top 5--voice, guitar, lyric mastery notwithstanding. But! The current biopic "Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere" is very fine. It took me about 10 minutes to accept Jeffrey Alen White *as* The Boss, but after that, WOW!
