Walker, knitter, birder, election worker, and naturalist in training. I didn't want to spend my golden years resisting fascists, but here we are.

Good on Penn Jillette. Having to come to terms with your entire political identity and philosophy being wrong is not easy and most people could never do it.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

An assessment of the problem, however, is not the same thing as the motivation to solve it. In addition to impunity, we must feel contempt. Not hatred. Not fear. Contempt – not only who they are, but who they want us to believe they are, even as they do crimes out in the open.

Quick point. Trump cannot silence you, period. He doesn’t have the means or the tools, and if he did he would be too weak to use them. This is a bluff.

It only works if you let it.

Rhett Miller's solo LP, A LIFETIME OF RIDING BY NIGHT, is really good. Miller leads the Old 97s. He's in good voice with this one. The lead-off single is "Come As You Are," with the Turnpike Troubadours. I'd paste it here, but I don't know how to do that on Bluesky, probably because I'm old.

Start your morning with two minutes of the testimony of Samuel Garcia, an average American who drove 3 hours to speak truth to power to the Texas legislature. Let’s decide that we are all Samuel Garcia. Get in their faces and make them listen. Mr. Garcia is a great American.
