Guns are not for threatening compliance for unarmed people doing things you don’t like
I guess you don't *have* to be a racist to support the Trump regime, but it sure must help.
Two kinds of Americans right now. Ones who are collaborating with the racists, and the ones who are resisting.
Those folks oughta read Exit, Voice, and Loyalty, the classic by Albert O. Hirschman. "Exit" is pretty clearly not the answer in this case.
Just sat in on a webinar by some insurance analysts -- you know, the folks that earn their living by being right about risks. They said "You won't find climate change deniers working at insurance companies." That should mean something to folks. #climatechange
Hebridean wool! Warm, and surprisingly water-repellant (for those who spend winter in ... damp climates.)

I'm not the first to say it, but: police & military are the hearts and minds we need to persuade.
Whether it's Twitter or Trump 2.0, Elon's real talent is to trash things he overpaid for
Even more excited now to see @joshjohnsoncomedy.bsky.social live this Saturday. Can't wait to see his observations on Trump v Musk
I've got tickets for Saturday. I can't wait.
Yes, this!! If the richest man on earth can't count on Trump's allegiance...

This, over and over again: "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
