Being big in Latvia slightly less prestigious
Big in Latveria? I'm a fan of lo-fi pop, if it's listenable on the tubes please share a link
That for this, a good essay.
I just checked and Cory posts often on Xitter and yet he never does on Bluesky, can anyone enlighten me why this is?
Can we all finally agree on the nickname "Shitler"?
They love Orange Brother
Another good song, along the same lines but more upbeat:

May want to check this, I recall seeing it flagged as disinformation
Heartbroken to hear about the passing of amazing Howie Klein - founder of the progressive blog @downwithtyranny.bsky.social.
He was a brilliant blogger (from OG netroots) who made his mark as a big time music exec. Most importantly he was a kind human & a good friend. Rest in power Howie.
It will be hard to top it, yes
Tea Party had broader mobilization than No Kings currently does?
The highest number even claimed by organizers for the largest Tea Party mobilization day is 1 million participants. A conservative estimate by outsiders of the recent No Kings Day 10/18 participation is 5 million.
Photograph by Will Counts of Elizabeth Eckford attempting to enter Little Central High on September 4, 1957.
The image is a still from a movie reenactment, sorry for not flagging that.
This is a historical photo of Elizabeth Eckford attempting to enter Little Rock Central High on 9/4/1957. Slightly obscure fact: Paul McCartney has said the Beatles song 'Blackbird' was inspired by the Little Rock Nine.
Thanks for the Rockwell tribute. I hadn't noticed the yellow armbands in this photo before, wonder if he worked from it.

The Greeks had some good ideas, assigning political office by random lot would also be a good one to bring back. RETVRN!

Question: in your opinion how could my single Congressperson be maximally useful? Obviously the first step needed is for the Democrats to transform into a true opposition. Ask that she fight for impeachment, not because it would be easy or get done, but as a rallying point?
Yeah, that has been clear.
My Congressperson told me shortly after the Citizen Impeachment poll that impeachment would be a distraction from what the House was focusing on. I had to look up what this even was, it was a full week's focus on rural hospital funding. (My district is not rural.)
Basically agree, but weren't there a few impeachment articles submitted, including HR 353 which I thought was very well done? Why weren't these useful? Not enough follow through?
I like the choice of verb here! From now on when describing Trump's lawless/crazy/criminal actions I'm just going to stick with demented, it just seems right
Many such hasteners of the Antichrist
Thank you for this. I read elsewhere that smallpox tended to kill in days 10-16 after symptoms. Are there guesses for what illness was responsible for this tragedy?
There are violent extremists on the left but they are not in charge of the party. You can find them on social media, not in the halls of power.
The violent extremists on the right are in congress, on courts, and sitting in the Oval Office.
In your heart you know he's right (about this point only)
We were warned by Washington, Lincoln and others. Now we must oppose this authoritarian regime, firmly voice our commitment to the Constitution and rule of law—and assert what it means to be American.

Thank you!!! Morpheus should have explained that the Matrix needed humans to be CPUs. NOT batteries, that's stupid, as is his bringing out a battery as a visual aid. This has been bothering me for years.
@iwriteok.bsky.social I greatly "enjoy" your podcast, thanks for putting it out. Part 1 of your December 2024 series on Woody Guthrie doesn't play anywhere, perhaps today's fascists are worried about folk music being used against them. Do you know of any working streams?

Convert them into re-education camps, AKA branch campuses of a reborn Trump University.
