The Democrats’ Patriotic Vanguard A small group of lawmakers with military or intelligence backgrounds prefigured Harris’s overtly patriotic campaign.

Some Notes on the City of Angels and the Nature of Violence I think maybe it's begun, the bigger fiercer backlash against the Trump Administration which is itself a violent backlash against every good thing that's happened over the past several decades – the a...

For those not following the drama earlier, it's for sharing this piece advocating for nonviolence (but not being judgy about how targeted people respond either). And saying some things about governmental/ institutional violence.

Now THAT'S some good kitchen table talk. Preach it sister!

I'd like to see someone make this into a video game.

"Stand Down: Voices of the Block"

You play as a neighborhood resident working to peacefully pressure government agents into retreating—using only words, crowd presence, and moral force.

If you’re into essays, history tangents, music meanderings, political ponderings, or peculiar side quests… this might be your kind of sandbox.

Awesome video essay, Jenna! Looking forward to sharing this with my wife @flor-artist.bsky.social ☺️

Trump signs executive order directing federal funding cuts to PBS and NPR President Donald Trump on Thursday signed an executive order aiming to slash public subsidies to PBS and NPR as he alleged “bias” in the broadcasters’ reporting.

Stephen Miller’s plan: teach kids to love America—or else. 🫡 Federal funding only for schools that pass the Patriotism Purity Test. 🇺🇸

...the AfD (is xenophobic and) “aims to exclude certain population groups from equal participation in society, to subject them to unconstitutional unequal treatment and thus to assign them a legally devalued status."

Hmmmmmm.... does that sound familiar?

Trump’s Delusional Tariff Policy Is Already Wreaking Havoc The economy took an immediate hit after the president’s “Liberation Day ”announcement.

Everything in the Trump governing playbook follows the broad dictates of reality TV programming, and yesterday’s announcement of a historic lurch back into the hoary dictates of 19th-century protectionism was no exception.
