I have two former friends who are now deep into MAGA land and I know they probably touch themselves reading the Project 2025 playbook. We have to understand there’s an alarming number of people who will see it as not just a good thing, but their ultimate fantasy.

The number of jokes about sundowning on this here website that prides itself on inclusion and respect and combating ableism is, in a word, gross.

Something I deeply respect about this website’s user base is that I know there’s some people on Twitter who fully believe that the head of Twitter is an open nazi and yet still find us too annoying to engage with

some decades ago there was a David Attenborough-narrated special about bower birds that included a narrative about one poor bower bird in particular whose elaborate bowers kept getting wrecked by various disasters (snake, rain, ants) but even when they weren’t he was completely ignored

The Constitution actually has a really tried and tested mechanism for dealing with presidents dropping dead on the job. Or even before they've really started it. You know what it's having a hard time with? Would-be autocrats no one seems to be willing to rein in

Why do Christofascists hate sex other people have so much? Jealous? Here's the thing, most ppl have sex more than a few times. Many have never procreated. Older women who no longer menstruate have sex all the time, too. What exactly are they going to do about it? Stay out of our bedrooms, creeps.

While DOJ independence was already a dead letter for purposes of a second Trump term since Attorney General E. Trump or J. Turley or whoever will have been chosen expressly because he's willing to take orders, also worth noting that Roberts blessed POTUS telling AG whom to prosecute.

If the cops grab you at a protest remember: 1) Ask "am I free to go?" if they say yes, GO. 2) if they say no, say "I am invoking my right to an attorney and my 5th amendment right to remain silent" then SHUT UP. wait for your lawyer.

Alternatively make friends with a criminal defense lawyer who does 1st amendment cases. I miss @gregdoucette.bsky.social so much.

But yes before you go to ANY protest, know 1) who will show up with cash to bail you out and 2) who your lawyer is
