Antifascism looks like Pedro Pascal. It looks like Alex Pretti and AOC. It looks like 600 priests, imams, and rabbis in the cold streets of winter Minneapolis. Antifascism is gorgeous.

The terror spreading across the country this a.m. because in some more progressive corners of the US progressives won elections is telling. The reason the reaction is so over-large is because progressives unlike centrists and the right, are the only group who pose a real threat to established power.

He has been posting and speaking all day about the algae and the "vandals." He can't let ANYTHING go. It would be hilarious if this minor grifty fuckup became the Captain Queeg's Strawberries that actually bring him down.

Watch: “In 1939, 20,000 Americans rallied in New York’s Madison Square Garden to celebrate the rise of Nazism – an event largely forgotten from American history.“

I think this is a very insightful statement about what we call "AI" and will be chewing on it for a while

One very important thing is to keep alive and current the fact that JD Vance is just fucking weird and creepy. It probably won't be two years before Trump dies or steps aside. "Vance is super weird" needs to be the overwhelming impression from the start of his presidency.

Hope Is Not a Bird, Emily, It's a Sewer Rat

by Caitlin Seida

Hope is not the thing with feathers
That comes home to roost
When you need it most.

Hope is an ugly thing
With teeth and claws and
Patchy fur that's seen some shit.

It's what thrives in the discards
And survives in the ugliest parts of our world, Able to find a way to go on When nothing else can even find a way in.

It's the gritty, nasty little carrier of such diseases as
optimism, persistence, Perseverance and joy,
Transmissible as it drags its tail across your path and
bites you in the ass.

Hope is not some delicate, beautiful bird, Emily.
It's a lowly little sewer rat
That snorts pesticides like they were
Lines of coke and still
Shows up on time to work the next day
Looking no worse for wear.

If you'd told me as a kid that I would someday be writing a syllabus for the year 2023, I would have assumed it would be for a course at Starfleet Academy.
