In 2026 I want all of the decent people to remember one thing. You arenāt meant to be this disciplined, this self-sacrificing to survive. The environment is supposed to support good living. We can have that. You are not a failure. That is politics. That is all.

we need the mirrors & to trust them & to start asking ourselves what do WE think? bc what we think IS good enough! we have to build safety with the idea that our own convictions ARE enough bc of the trauma from everything we've been through before now says that we're in danger, if it's just us!

Nuzzi's fawning coverage of the sociopathic conspiracy crank she was having an affair with aided his rise to political power, which he is using to perpetrate the worst intentional public health catastrophe of our unnecessarily shortened lifetimes, and THAT is the STORY.

The president just gathered the highest ranking officers in the military to tell them that he may order them to kill American citizens -- and that they better follow his orders. All in response to a series of crises that have no basis in reality. I don't know how to yell any louder.
