Demagogic president seizes money to pay standing army, arrogating to himself legislative power, while his cronies keep Congress out of session is honestly more or less exactly how the Founders thought this would end

Someone cried & cried & cried until I got up from my desk & laid down so he could cuddle me.

An orange cat is lying on a person. You can see the person's arm around him. His belly is exposed, indicating he's very relaxed

Emerging from the darkness of this era will require us to acknowledge that the previous status quo, including many institutions that may have served us well in another era, have been failing for my entire lifetime.

One thing you realize when you marry a Canadian is that *apparently* there was a war in 1812 & the Canadians burned down the White House

I may have vaguely learned this in grade school but none of it stuck & my blurry sense was that US history started in 1776 & then jumped straight to the Civil War

The GOP that gave us the Jan 6 terrorist attack and then pardoned the terrorists is calling the No Kings rally a pro-terrorist rally. These are despicable people.

Gavin Newsom if you're serious about making California a safe haven from Donald Trump's presidency, you need to make it possible for people to move to California

and that means building some motherfucking housing

Interesting conversation with a NY Assemblyman tonight.

I asked about the likelihood of NY redistricting for 2028.

He indicated that the appetite for such a move might be influenced by the success of CA’s referendum.

So…a big Prop 50 win may very well act as a catalyst for other blue states.

This is how Farage and Tice reacted at PMQs when someone raised the issue of one of their politicians accepting bribes to spread Russian propaganda. Apparently it’s funny to be a traitor.

As a historian, I can certify that we are in the bad times. But bad times eventually end.
In the meantime:
• Figure out a small way to help someone
• Figure out a small way to fight back
• Figure out a small place to find joy
• Figure out a small way to grow and thrive

And do it often.

If you’ve recently awoken from a coma, the Speaker of the House is stalling the swearing in of a newly elected member from Arizona because she would be the deciding vote in the discharge petition to release the Epstein files, which would be trouble for his boss.

You’re caught up.

Ps: Welcome back.
