wild living in a country where "this person had access to military grade weaponry" doesn't narrow anything down in terms of which sort of person could be responsible. Military veteran? PTA president? Disaffected tween? who knows

I hope everyone takes care. These are difficult times. We need as many people as possible to be focused and to be engaged in action where they are and within their capacity. Be ruthless in cutting out lots of noise and also letting go of what is not in your control.

Donald Trump has good days and bad days but increasingly only bad days. He's lost it - he can't focus and his brains are leaking out his ears, but the press is very impressed with him because HE CAN STILL SHOUT
"RETRUTH IF YOU WANT TELEVISED MILITARY TRIBUNALS" is, to me, a deranged and instantly disqualifying thing for a presidential candidate to say, but on the other hand joe biden looks and sounds very old

Nothing is stopping every single Democratic elected official and apparatchik from taking the airwaves every single day to articulately and decisively repeat a set of cogent talking points about Trump (ie 45). Nothing. Dem PACs could be slamming him with ads now. Stop whining and do that.

Taylor vocally came out against Marsha Blackburn during that evil lady’s last senate race and Blackburn still won. I think we need to give up the (understandable) fantasy that pop stars can swoop in and save the day. This is very much just my opinion, I know. But I’m right.
Wouldn't it be great if Taylor started openly explaining the details of project 2025 and why we need to vote

He's right. They're stealing the country from us and ending democracy. "Bloodless if the left allows it to be" is a threat to kill anyone who fights back

We have to stop talking about the ability to communicate clearly and get from the beginning of a sentence to the end without incident as "optics" or cosmetics or some minor silly performance thing that you sorta hafta do in order to get to the real business of being president.

In a lot of ways the entire Republican establishment since the 70s has been dedicated to making sure that what happened to Nixon would never be allowed to happen to one of theirs again
the Supreme Court, not content to immunize only Donald Trump from prosecution, retroactively exonerates Richard Nixon for Watergate
