Secrets of Mulholland Manor
The footsteps reverberate along the walls, up and down the staircases, like the deep heartbeat of Mulholland Manor. They are ghostly, phantom footsteps.

At this point, anyone—a university, a law firm, a corporation, a Democrat—bending the knee to Trump is doing it because they want to, not because of any political reality.

This has been such an Illuminating part of our current moment:
It’s revealed just how unwilling those with actual power are to even just ask tough questions, while highlighting how willing pajama-wearing suburbanites are to physically drive off guys armed with actual guns.

The assumption appears to be that ordinary voters will be cowed, obsequious, and unwilling to challenge autocracy, just like the billionaires, business leaders, media executives, and other leading institutions of civil society, which have decided that fighting back is “not worth the hassle.”

I voted today. If you're a Californian, I hope you'll vote yes on Prop 50 too!
Don’t let Republicans rig another election! Prop 50 defends fair play by giving California voters—not politicians—the final say on temporary congressional maps.
Power belongs to the people, not backroom deals.
Stand up and vote #YesOnProp50—our democracy depends on it.

Quick note. Just because 57% support Prop 50, doesn't mean it passed. Don't get complacent. Get your vote in.

Political parties must shift immediately and dramatically to the left to avoid alienating these frustrated and abandoned young women. Am I doing this right?
Our recent poll found that women 28 and younger skew substantially more left than the national average. Nearly 80 percent of Gen Z women want abortion to be legal and seven in 10 want gender-affirming care to be accessible for trans adults.
Gen Z women are the most liberal group in the country

Part of the utility for huge protests like No Kings is that they undermine the fundamental basis of Trump's power, which is elite consent. If universities, private companies, government officials, etc. think they could get caught up by a popular backlash they're less likely to comply w/ the regime.
