Fascism is all the rage nowadays. There is not an anti-fascist major party in this country. Its the current tenor in the nation, so all we have are different shades of cop-loving, power-for powers-sake, marginalize the marginalized neofascism. 34-0.

And the universe immediately kicks me in the chest. WA-3 called: John Braun (R) and incumbent Marie Glusenkamp Perez (D) win. They defeat cinema installation manager Brent Hennrich and currently lead 39-39-16. Trump-friendly Dems are now 34-0

For years they called those of us who championed political correctness "doctrinaire relativists." MAGA Republicans are the relativists: there's no right, no wrong, & "Who can truly know?" is offered as a final answer. The truth? The truth isn't found; it's decided by $ signs & pollster white papers.

RAJU: Sen. Moreno is calling for Max Miller to resign. Do you side w/Moreno? THUNE: It's a family matter &, um, I don't have any observations beyond that Q: If a member of Congress is facing domestic abuse allegations, should they continue to serve? T: It's a House matter. It's a family issue too

Soft Rains Day. "Today is August 4, 2026, in the city of Allendale, California. Today is Mr. Featherstone's birthday. Today is the anniversary of Tilita's marriage. Insurance is payable, as are the water, gas, and light bills." RIP Ray Bradbury, 1920-2012

There Will Come Soft Rains By: Ray Bradbury In the living room the voice-clock sang, Tick-tock, seven o'clock, time to get up, time to get up, seven o 'clock! as if it were afraid that nobody would. The morning house lay empty. The clock ticked on, repeating and repeating its sounds into the emptiness. Seven-nine, breakfast time, seven-nine! In the kitchen the breakfast stove gave a hissing sigh and ejected from its warm interior eight pieces of perfectly browned toast, eight eggs sunny side up, sixteen slices of bacon, two coffees, and two cool glasses of milk. "Today is August 4, 2026," said a second voice from the kitchen ceiling, "in the city of Allendale, California." It repeated the date three times for memory's sake. "Today is Mr. Featherstone's birthday. Today is the anniversary of Tilita's marriage. Insurance is payable, as are the water, gas, and light bills."

Who else, historically, made it difficult for people to pursue arts, religion, music, philosophy, education? Authoritarian regimes, in their various forms. Every. Single. One.

President Trump is banning students majoring in degrees that don’t make enough money from taking out college loans. Degrees for social work, art, religious studies, teaching aides, and music will be hit the hardest. trib.al/aaAEu6v

Still can’t over the fact that the president of the United States just told an entire state to pound sand after getting cyberattacked by a foreign adversary because they didn’t vote for him and it was treated like a Tuesday lol

What a time to be alive. A US president who announces a peace deal, then war, then peace, etc, several times a week. It doesn´t even make the news anymore. The latter could be the dangerous part.
