A comment by zachwlambert: I can't wait to stay up late on No Kings Eve to eat bites of the Resistance Frog cookies, put pocket Constitutions in my grandchildren's shoes, and then wake up the next morning for a dance party to all of our favorite Rage Against the Machine songs
A post from Timothy Snyder Five things to remember about war: 1. Many things reported with confidence in the first hours and days will turn out not to be true 2. Whatever they say, the people who start wars are often thinking chiefly about domestic politics 3. The rationale given for a war will change over time, such that actual success or failure in achieving a named objective is less relevant than one might think 4. Wars are unpredictable 5. Wars are easy to start and hard to stop

An excerpt from Cameron Garriepy’s forthcoming romance, posted for #FridayKiss: Sean was waiting for her by his locker after Woodside Singers' practice. He sat on the floor, hunched over his guitar, playing Cady's favorite Sarah McLachlan song. She picked up the melody as she approached. Sean didn't look up. "You are singing with me tonight." She couldn't. Could she? "I can hear you trying to talk yourself out of it." Sean was looking up at her now, his fingers still idly strumming the chord progression. His half-smile flirted with his mouth, and his hair was pushed behind his ears. Cady's lungs squeezed. "If you want me to, I will," she said, more bravely than she felt.

From @talbertswan CAUCACITY is Donald Trump disparaging Michelle Obama for years, ridiculing her looks, calling her nasty, and white folks expecting her to attend his inaugural. It's JD Vance disrespecting Kamala Harris and calling her "trash," and white folks expecting her to give him a tour of the VP residence. It's disgusting to see people excuse white men for disrespecting Black women and then disparage Black women for not bowing down and kissing the rings of the white men who disrespected them. 9,891 likes • 297 replies
