Friendly reminder that anti-intellectualism is an authoritarian tactic that is used to control a population by robbing people of the tools to understand and solve problems, foster innovation and build up communities. Education gives people power to improve their conditions.

“I’ve never seen a goaltender play as well as Connor Hellebuyck -“ Okay so her name is Aerin Frankel and he let in as many goals in the gold medal game as she let in the entire tournament and she has a hell of a side gig as a salad-based influencer.

Don’t listen to anyone who tells you misogyny is not worth getting upset over, that it’s not strategic outrage, that you’re overreacting. That’s exactly how we ended up with Donald Trump as President. Be mad and ignore the blowback.

Pay attention to your patterns. The ways you learned to survive may not be the ways you want to continue to live. Heal and shift.

The smartest people I know all have this in common: They change their minds often. It’s not a weakness, being wishy-washy, or a sign of flaky beliefs. It’s proof that their ego doesn’t outrank new information. The goal isn't to be right, it's to get it right.

Democratic men with platforms, including podcasts, need to spend more time talking about the right’s hatred of women. This isn’t just schtick; it’s an existential threat — even if it’s not directed at you.
Right Wing Watch@RightWingWatch

Nick Fuentes says that "women are made to be fucked": "Women are either mothers, whores, or nuns. No other options. There are no female philosophers. There are no female inventors. There are no female generals or billionaires. They are mothers, whores, nuns. End of list. That's what you can be."

Getting the impression that ICE is gearing up for a pogrom in Springfield, Ohio, which was ground zero of Vance’s lies about Haitians during the campaign. Haitians lose temporary protected status on February 3rd. Reporters, lawyers, neighbors — please get ready.

Slavery was legal. Segregation was legal. Never use legality as a guide to morality.

In the early 1930s the SA was roughing people up, creating chaos in neighborhoods, seeking to terrorize with the occasional killing. By the late 1930s it had been supplanted by the SS, which was much better trained.
Bill Kristol@BillKristol

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

After using blackshirts armed with knives clubs and guns to get to power in 1922, one of the first things Mussolini did after he declared dictatorship in 1925 was confiscate weapons from those who were not in law enforcement, the military, or his militia. 👀

Trump: You can’t have guns. You can’t walk in with guns. Reporter: What about the Second Amendment? Trump: You can’t walk in with guns.

America wants Democrats to show some backbone & defend people’s constitutional rights—Senate Democrats must hold the line & refuse to fund the murder of American citizens. Defund ICE & abolish this corrupt agency. There are much smarter ways to enforce our laws.

After Pretti was murdered, an angry crowd gathered and screamed at ICE agents. “One [agent] responded mockingly as he walked away, telling them: ‘Boo hoo.’” apnews.com/article/immigr…

The right wants us to believe that a teen who showed up at a Wisconsin rally with an AR-15 and shot three people is a peacekeeper who deserves to be celebrated, but an unarmed mom driving away from a Minnesota rally was a domestic terrorist who deserved to die.

We get to allow the last days of the year to bring us softness and joy. No need to “finish strong”. We’ve endured enough. We can finish gently. Resting. Winding down like a gentle stream. Inviting in the calm. Let’s end this year with celebration and peace. Because we deserve.
