Destressing from the day by bingeing "The Diplomat" (OK, yes, I know but for me it's working). Can I just say that in spite of Grace Pen being demonstrably monstrous it's a joy to watch Alison Janney and Bradley Whitford together again in a political drama. Especially w/Whitford being darkly funny.

There was no protestor violence at the #NoKings marches.

but as always, when night falls, the police violence emerges.

Elites collapsed and capitulated. Regular people never did. #NoKings

Remember back in January when all these sage politics-knowers were writing about how there had been a vibe shift and now the resistance was over?

A successful protest movement requires as broad a coalition as possible.

If you’re recoiling from the support of mainstream privileged segments of society, you’re not trying to win the fight, you’re just trying to win personal praise.

Seriously though.

If there's a time NOT to be a weird hipster who thinks collaborating with "more privileged" groups is "uncool" or "not a real fight", it's definitely now.

Get off your soapbox Sadie, and join the rest of the people on the podium to speak up as a united front.

Not a day goes by when I'm not hit with both grief and fury about what could and should be,but right now as I'm getting daily "your memories" posts from the AI demons about canvasses/phonebanks/rallies a year ago it just hits so much worse. This could have been our president but...

important to recognize we are currently watching the greatest baseball player who ever lived smack in the middle of his prime and we should enjoy every second of it

there have been people who are better at hitting and people who are better at pitching but not together, not like this
