I was born into a conservative Evangelical family and went from a Republican to a libertarian to a progressive Democrat by my mid 20s and just kept going left and left and left. Probably could be classed as a radical anarchist by now at 47. Watch out for me in 40 more years should I live so long!

yes, we boiled the planet, but it was worth it to make a machine that, instead of adding two plus two, takes the statistical average of every answer to questions containing "what" "is" "two" and "plus" from a database of illegal cell phone transcripts and returns a fake nude pic of a high schooler

"Executive Time" fell out of the coverage of Donald Trump in the most incredible way. Nobody writing about his quest to become president again ever mentions the fact that he hated the job when he had it and he couldn't and wouldn't really do it!

This will be one about hope, though maybe not "hope" as it is usually meant.
Hope is a defiant act taken against those who would sabotage any act of reparation—and sabotaging repair is exactly what fascism does.
For this reason, hope is what is needed right now.

Never ever trust someone who tells you not to vote. That person is almost certainly a right-wing operative, or at the very least dangerously misguided.

This is 100% accurate. I was raised in a Rebuplican household and the importance of voting (and straight-ticket Republican voting no matter what) was drilled into my head from early elementary school on. Don't EVER trust anyone who suggests you shouldn't vote.

Imagine for one second if the NYT marshaled its massive influence towards voter registration, towards supporting voting rights groups, towards encouraging people to vote and fighting people who try to stop people from voting. Imagine if the NYT actually championed participatory democracy.

Every day proves Thaddeus Stevens right: there should've been big Nuremberg-style public trials of leading Confederates, accompanied by seizures of the assets of all pro-Confederate large landowners and businessmen, which should then have been distributed to freed slaves as compensation.

Taraji P. Henson did a huge public service calling out Project 2025. Earlier today, Kevin Roberts, chair of Project 2025, threatened violence: "We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be." It's Christofascism. Make no mistake.
