“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”

To be fair, Vance didn’t ski this weekend. Vermonters ran him into hiding 🤣

The cognitive dissonance of getting up every morning and making coffee and walking the dog and going to meetings and answering emails and wondering what to make for dinner while there is a real live actual coup d’etat happening is BONKERS

I’m not saying I was ready for this. But I can’t say I’m surprised by any of this.

People like me who write about race, global affairs, colonialism are often labeled race-baiters, activists, etc.

When all this time we’ve been warning of the harm, the authoritarianism America is capable of.

I mean, everything he says is like the LEAST surprising thing. There is no bottom. I’m not keeping my feet on “the” ground because it’ll just keep feeling like one seismic shift after another, continuously sinking lower and lower. Make your own solid ground and stand on it.

I’m not mad or sad or panicked rn because everything that’s happening is exactly what we knew would happen. So predictable. I’m just determined to do as much good as I can, in the ways I can, in spite of it all.

Heard a couple of little kids talking while playing with legos. “What starts with f and ends in u-c-k?” Couldn’t wait to share this with my wife, how the other kid was like “Ha that’s easy, fire truck!” So I asked her the question. Her earnest answer? “Um…Farting duck?”

It seems like people here are way more into being authentic than quippy, and I love it. Genuine enthusiasm for little things is just so great.
