Is this just our new normal? Women being arrested if a cop doesn’t like how they miscarried, and lawmakers debating whether to put us to death before breaking for fucking lunch? Has everyone lost their minds?

What the hell happened to the Overton Window?

Appreciate this from @juddlegum.bsky.social. We know the corporations that flipped on their commitment to withhold contributions from elected officials who played a role in the 1/6 coup attempt. Most. But what about those corps who held fast? The “promise-keepers.” open.substack.com/pub/populari...

grateful to @roxanegay.bsky.social for this necessary assessment.

Mr. Trump’s voters are granted a level of care and coddling that defies credulity and that is afforded to no other voting bloc. Many of them believe the most ludicrous things: babies being aborted after birth and children going to school as one gender and returning home surgically altered as another gender even though these things simply do not happen. Time and again, we hear the wild lies these voters believe and we act as if they are sharing the same reality as ours, as if they are making informed decisions about legitimate issues. We act as if they get to dictate the terms of political engagement on a foundation of fevered mendacity.

We must refuse to participate in a mass delusion. We must refuse to accept that the ignorance on display is a congenital condition rather than a choice. All of us should refuse to pretend that any of this is normal and that these voters are just woefully misunderstood and that if only the Democrats addressed their economic anxiety, they might vote differently. While they are numerous, that does not make them right.

These are adults, so let us treat them like adults. Let us acknowledge that they want to believe nonsense and conjecture. They want to believe anything that affirms their worldview. They want to celebrate a leader who allows them to nurture their basest beliefs about others. The biggest challenge of our lifetime will be figuring out how to combat the American willingness to embrace flagrant misinformation and bigotry.

I genuinely don’t have any blame or recriminations to share, and I’m not angry at anyone who wants to stop fascism in whatever way they can. Yes, we should learn from mistakes, but the fault for the rise of fascism lies with the fascists. Always and forever.

Found a dentist so nice, I thought for sure he was going to steal my kidneys. Like, you’re offering me a massaging eye mask, a weighted blanket, AND you have access to nitrous? No sir, this does not add up.

Pre-internet, I had a friend who liked to tell me all the compliments other people gave her, as though delivering the news. My job was to say, “oh wow, that’s great.” It just occurred to me she invented Instagram.
