another thing the “just move out of your red state” people don’t get is how disabled people like me—who depend upon care from a team of medical specialists—can’t “just move” finding good doctors, therapists, primary care, etc. is not easy, fast or cheap

Nothing is stopping every single Democratic elected official and apparatchik from taking the airwaves every single day to articulately and decisively repeat a set of cogent talking points about Trump (ie 45). Nothing. Dem PACs could be slamming him with ads now. Stop whining and do that.

I'm not sure one can actually call themself a parent, especially of multiple children, if they *haven't* done this. One child, no pets, mix up the kid's name with a coworker or something? That's when I'd worry.

Your lips to god’s ears. The number of people I’m seeing more committed to not admitting they were taken for a ride by the media freak out than forming a united front against fascism is worrying.

It should not be controversial to say that prison sexual violence and/or coercion is never a good thing or an appropriate thing to joke or threaten about, even when the target is someone terrible. It is a deeply fucked up, traumatic part of our carceral system.

The key to defeating Trump and fascism is turnout. More specifically, it's overcoming voter suppression in battleground states. There are way more of us than there are of them, and that's why they are obsessed with making voting as difficult as possible.

At the risk of being tiresome in reposting my own writings on the separation of powers and executive accountability, since prominent scholars are now in the news saying "habeas corpus will still be OK"— Montesquieu's insight was precisely that it won't be.

A better writer than I am could probably start from the Barlow/Dilbert/BOFH late 90s sullen nerd resentment that no one appreciated their genius as a source of a lot of what has gone wrong. I mean it's only a small factor of it, but it's not nothing.

...or Cliffs' Notes for someone whose English skills aren't too hot. But I'd certainly direct them to human-produced summaries, simply because so many AI products seem to run entirely off the rails when asked to summarize, especially complex works.
