As well-meaning publishers try to navigate the coming storm of state laws against diversity, I hope they'll consider Timothy Snyder's Rule #1 (from his slim book ON TYRANNY).

a thing to remember, in all of this horror, is that these are not the actions of a political party that is confident it represents the will of the people, and who is currently out of power and enslaved to a deeply flawed avatar. the struggle is not over and they have not won

Another thing you can do is call Dick Durbin's office and demand he stand up for democracy and haul Alito and Thomas before the Senate Judiciary Committee. And publicly demand their resignations. If you can't literally impeach them, AT LEAST use the bully pulpit. 202-224-2152.

Times like these I'm reminded of Cory Doctorow's position on hope: "Hope is a method: If I do something about this situation, I might change it enough so that I can do something else about this situation." Only way out is through, indeed, and only way through is to push.

Hope, faith, and optimism create the possibility of a good outcome, while cynicism and despair close that off. You can't guarantee success, but you *can* guarantee failure.

Things are bad but all the more reason for optimism of the will and rejection of doomerism and nihilism. Only way out is through.

throughout the Trump immunity decision, the Court champions the idea of an unfettered, uninhibited President. the darkest part of the opinion isn’t that it paves the way for an authoritarian leader, it’s that it yearns for one

For the sake of every last shred of my sanity, would the supposed political class stop being absolute jackwagons and making fools of themselves talking about pulling Biden now. That shouldn't happen this late in the year, and you all are the ones making the problem worse. Onward. Let's go.

Half-joking: Are we sure Craig Counsell isn't still working for the Brewers? Because I can't see any scenario in which you bring Neris in to pitch the ninth unless you really want to see him cough up the game like a hairball.

The media and journalism worlds have been beaten up for so many years that it's hard to have hope. But the indie, worker-owned digital media we see rising today remind me of how alt-weeklies used to inspire. Maybe the New Alt Media is a way forward. www.anildash.com/2024/06/14/t...

one of the dangers of a second trump term is that it will be run by these fascist pencil neck dickheads who know they couldn’t win an election for dog catcher on their own personal merits in a race with one candidate, and see trump as the vehicle for their own reign of cruelty.

Sweet Thursday indeed.

and you were there, with love to spare...
Giving me a dream to call my own,
A dream that you are sharing too..."
