I named my fists "Dunning" and "Kruger" because I haven't trained in any sort of martial art but am confident I would do pretty well.

I named my fists Laurel and Hardy because you're about to be a fine mess.

It's very helpful to remember: we organized and we won a lot of good shit. That scared entrenched power shitless, and this moment is that hierarchy's struggle to reassert itself. If we beat it back and demand a rebuilding that is liberatory, we can win even better shit.

if you’re cold they’re cold let your demons in

Demolishing the East Wing of the White House before finalizing plans for what will be built above its ruins is a near-perfect metaphor for Trump's approach to economic policy. The only difference is the wrecking crew doesn’t claim the rubble is evidence of unprecedented growth.

Finally getting some theological clarity on the ethics of reclining in one’s plane seat
