I remember seeing the weinermobile the first time. It was my first acid trip, too, but I was with sober friends who also saw it. Late ‘60’s, and maybe it was in L.A. for an extended time, but I saw it three times and each time I was on a different trip. Never saw it sober in that decade, but I have seen it since, and when I did, I swear to you that I began to feel like I was tripping that first encounter even though I was not

Republicans want to screw over their constituents in order to give more tax cuts to the ultra-wealthy. Here’s what Trump’s Tax Scam would mean for your state: https://itep.org/analysis-of-tax-provisions-in-house-reconciliation-bill/

The Graf Zeppelin visits DC (Oct. 1928). Between the overcast sky and slight overexposure of the negative, it’s a bit spectral & hard to see; it’s more or less in the center of the visible sky, straight up from the Amoco signs.

The LoC caption describes this as “Zeppelin over 13th St.,” but we’re really looking west on E St. NW from 11th St. At left is the Hotel Harrington, still operating today. At right is the Perpetual Building Association, long since demolished, its name notwithstanding.

Trump has had tremendous success pushing his authoritarianism domestically. But we're just beginning to see how he plans to dismantle the Western Order internationally.

It’s crucial to keep emphasizing that these EOs were lawless. There was never a plausible argument they were constitutional. This administration has nothing but contempt for the constitution and the rule of law.

BREAKING: Judge John Bates, a George W. Bush appointee, holds that Trump's executive order targeting Jenner & Block is likely unconstitutional — "doubly" — and will be blocked in full. https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.dcd.278932/gov.uscourts.dcd.278932.138.0_6.pdf

Found in Naomi Klein's Doppelganger. The one lesson I wish the modern left would internalize more than anything.

Use shared language.

Don't use lefty jargon when the person you're talking to doesn't subscribe to these ideas. No white privilege, no colonial oppression, no intersectionality. Translate to a shared language, built on reasonable, common assumptions and do the work required to bring people on board.

Because you can be damned sure the MAGA crowd are doing the work.
