  • You can make a little sign with whatever super important issue on it that you like. People did that. People understood that “No Kings” includes all the issues that come with being a king -or dictator.

    But the most important thing people did was show the fuck up.

    Just like with voting, a protest doesn’t do anything unless people show the fuck up.

    And just like with voting, there are loud, persistent voices online that bemoan doing anything at all because it just isn’t perfect enough for them.

    And you know what? It will never be perfect enough for those people. The real reason they complain is not about the level of perfection in the “messaging”. It’s that they are lazy shits. Or lazy shills.




  • True hardcore Christians really have a problem with woo woo spiritual nonsense like some aspects of the wellness movement. They are looking the other way about this concerning the new surgeon general nominee because everything Trump is good to them. But some of you reading this might have relatives that, with gentle prodding, will become uncomfortable with “MAHA”, given the faux spiritual leanings. This can be your “in” to get them questioning the whole Trump thing.












  • 30 million women voted for Trump. 90 million Americans who were eligible to vote didn’t vote. As a nation, we asked for this. As individuals, many of us did not ask for this. But it wasn’t enough. We can call or write our representatives. We can march in the streets. We can do any number of things to reject and correct our hard slide into authoritarianism. But I promise you that passive internet griping is bottom of the list in terms of effectiveness. Well, unless it’s Russian propaganda and conspiracy theories. Holy shit that stuff worked like a voodoo curse….
