I’ll stop the lists if they’ll stop the beatings…

WhatsApp is owned by Facebook which is reason enough to make a move.

It’s always a great time to not have kids! But yeah, now more than ever…

This reminds me of my dear old uncle, who died of lung cancer that the doctor told him was just a cough. “Go home, take some Robitussin, it’ll clear up.”

Three. The camera wasn’t on him for the third Nazi salute.

I know! That’s what makes it classic.

My health is very important to me, and i dont gamble with it.

Classic.

What are the wrong things those guys sure think?

What is it lacking?

Plush carpet and air conditioning. No, it’s working fine — fun for me, and a handful of others don’t seem to mind.

That’s what I’ve been doing for a year or so…

Medium has a paywall, which tends to keep me away, but Substack pays Nazis to post there. This makes the Substack platform distasteful for those who dislike fascists.

The Democratic Party won’t allow any leftward motion. It’s always and only, stay in the center and reach out to the right and, whoops, we’ve gone a little further to the right. …

Trump & Musk can’t be adequately explained by stupidity. It’s malice.

That was my feeling. It’s not a PhD thesis on economic justice or revolution, it’s just something I’m hoping might make my Uncle Herb and nephew George say ‘Huh’.

That’s what she said.

Ugh. Yeah, it’s an annoyance. Here’s a great piece of politicking, a great moment, a great video, but like about 95% of homemade vids it’s marred by unnecessary and distracting effects.

At least it wasn’t introduced by some wacky influencer mugging for the camera.

Books.

It was like that in Germany, too.

We’re going to be hearing that a lot.

Yeah, my reply was too brief & misunderstandable, so let me 'splain.

We need to stop deluding ourselves into thinking there’s a political solution to what Trump, Musk, and the Republicans are doing. There’s not.

Most Americans have been thoroughly misinformed and won’t care about the destruction of democracy until the repercussions smack them personally in the face, but by then the coup will be completed. Dems in Congress will not spontaneously evolve spines. I’m out there picketing, but only for my conscience and mental health, not because I imagine the fascists will hear us and yield. They won’t.

Politics as usual is finished in America. We will be left with whatever rights Trump & Musk decide we should have, which won’t be much and won’t be up for ‘debate’. The current dismantling of America will lead to violence, which I neither want nor call for, and which I’m too old, weak, and generally chickenshit to participate in. The violence is going to happen, though, with the police, the military, and the un-regulated militia against we the people who hope for freedom, and we will lose. After that, reconstructing democracy in America will take generations of struggle and bloodshed.

It’s moot and silly to talk of ‘fixing this’ via elections or reforming the Democratic Party. That ship has sailed and sunk. America, 1776-2025, RIP.

There will be no ‘fixing this’.
