There’s a common feeling across the U.S. right now, a sense of helplessness. Many people want to do more but feel like they can’t. Remember: every action you take pushes the resistance forward.

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.

There’s no one reporting on the Pentagon or issues related to the Department of Defence

This would be terrifying at the best of times but a fascist takeover is not the best of times

A regime blowing up boats in international waters is not the best of times

A free press is essential to democracy

“The Defense Department has confiscated the badges of the Pentagon reporters from virtually every major media organization in America,” the Pentagon Press Association said

Oct. 15, 2025
PENTAGON PRESS ASSOCIATION
STATEMENT
Today, the Defense Department confiscated the badges of the Pentagon reporters from virtually every major media organization in America. It did this because reporters would not sign onto a new media policy over its implicit threat of criminalizing national security reporting and exposing those who sign it to potential prosecution.
The Pentagon Press Association's members are still committed to reporting on the U.S. military. But make no mistake, today, Oct. 15, 2025 is a dark day for press freedom that raises concerns about a weakening U.S. commitment to transparency in governance, to public accountability at the Pentagon and to free speech for all.

I'M TIRED OF "LIBERAL" BEING USED AS AN INSULT.
LIBERALISM GAVE YOU THE VOTE.
LIBERALISM GAVE YOU EQUALITY.
LIBERALISM GAVE YOU FREE SPEECH
LIBERALISM GAVE YOU YOUR INALIENABLE RIGHTS.
LIBERALISM IS THE ENEMY OF TYRANTS, AND I'LL BE FOREVER PROUD TO DEFEND IT.

After the reunification of Germany members of the Stasi were chased into obscurity. Informants were ostracized and officers were effectively blacklisted from government jobs, and many private sector ones.

There's a lesson here.

It should be a litmus test for Democratic presidential primary candidates whether they will restore the White House and DC public properties to exactly the way they were before the Palm Beach lounge lizard decided to turn it into Mar-a-Lago meets 1936 Nuremberg.

I am horrified we are here.

I am horrified more people aren’t fighting back.

I am afraid— to fight back— but even more not to.

We need each other. We need to fight the madness.

We must show up Saturday for protests.

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.

Go get you a library card if you don't already have one!

ReddTruq @reddtruq.bsky.social · 7h

Most libraries will offer free streaming through Hoopla and Kanopy. ebooks, audio books, music, films, tv programs offered with just a card. You can also get actual books, cds, dvds at the library in person. Youtube has lots of docos, concerts. Don't give corporations your dollars if you can help it

Hey y’all! If you haven’t already, don’t forget to trim the cash flow out by pausing subscriptions to news, music, tv, movies, mobile device storage, phone apps/games, XBox/PS/Nintendo, expensive food/meal boxes, takeout/delivery, non-essential items* (things not required for survival).

If you are worried
about cognitive harms
you should be concerned
that tests have “found
protein powders and shakes
contain high levels of lead,”
and if you are worried
about cognitive harms
you should also be concerned
about how many times
you have contracted Covid.
