It’s the last day of the Max Fun Drive. If I get 450 new contributions (memberships, upgrades, boosts) to Depresh Mode, I can make a limited series called Your Best Life In Hell. It’s a plan to preserve/improve your mental health in a socio-political world gone bananas. We have 425 so far…

So many of my fellow USians keep asking why someone doesn't do something. Friends, this is why having the most expensive and most powerful military in the world, and a police force that's the third most expensive and powerful military in the world by itself, and the world's largest prison system,

Please don't think anything is back to normal in Minnesota. Nothing is normal. I know we’re strong. Don’t know if it’s enough. If you don't live here, your Minnesota friends may tell you that it's going to be okay but I think a lot of that is them being nice so you won't worry. It's bad here.

The majority of organizing happening in Minnesota isn’t just peaceful, it’s INVISIBLE. Moms showing up who won’t be interviewed on TV, people whose ICE patrols don’t turn into viral video. The grocery runs, the donations, the people filming bc they happen to be there. Please remember this.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

Here’s my useless senator, Maria Cantwell. I’ve stopped calling her office b/c she’s a brick wall of pure nothing and I want my actions to mean something. We have way too long to find a candidate to primary her and throw her ass out. Putting some screenshots from her website this morning in replies.

Okay. Liam Ramos is five. Taken from his father after school. His family didn’t know where he was for 24 hours. He’s NOW in a federal detention facility in Texas. At least one other student is there too. Two other elementary school students were taken and the school doesn’t know where they are.

Common Sense, published 250 years ago today.
Men who look upon themselves born to reign, and others to obey, soon grow insolent; selected from the rest of mankind their minds are early poisoned by importance; and the world they act in differs so materially from the world at large, that they have but little opportunity of knowing its true interests, and when they succeed to the government are frequently the most ignorant and unfit of any throughout the dominions.

This is an important point: to many on the left, "you're lying" is often leveled at the MAGA folks as a sort of self-evident critique that they imagine will chastise them into stopping. But their lies are proof (to them) of their cleverness and power, so they hear this as *praise*, not condemnation.
