Many don’t realize that the first people Hitler sent to his concentration camps weren’t everyday Jewish citizens, but his political opponents. So, when Trump rants about retribution, locking up his opponents, and giving them “very long sentences,” I can’t help but take him seriously… because history teaches us that is what fascist dictators do during their “Day One” period to consolidate their power. (After all, if you’re hellbent on staying in power but aren’t likely to win the next election, you can’t have your political opponents running around free.)
To keep fascism out of our lives, vote for democracy!
A paradox: in 1970, most Americans found it relatively easy to afford a house, and the average US house cost 5.9x the average US income. In 2024, Americans find it nearly impossible to afford a house, and the average American house costs...5.9x the average American income.

If you work on the principle that a person who dies from covid has been infected by another person:
One in three hundred americans has killed someone by infecting them with Covid.
I know that sounds harsh, but that's how it works.
Some fun news for Archive 81, Generation Crossing, and Deep Vault fans... in preparation for Generation Crossing's 11/12 release... we've refreshed our merch store! We now have a bunch of fun new stuff, including BASEBALL HATS https://t.co/NQ1VwT63JM
Conservatives keep telling us they're oppressed, and when they define what form the oppression takes, they explain that other kinds of people ... exist.
You know what? Let's do it. Let's actually do it. I think we ought to oppress conservatives.
Other people *should* exist. 🧵

@stereophobe Will the new project with @MarcSollinger include more of your music? That was one element (among many) that I really liked about Archive 81.
Things that are perfect are dead things. Empty things. A silence beyond change or challenge. An endpoint. A blank page.
You are a wonderfully messy thing. An impossible thing made of iron and rainwater. Meat and electricity. A dream with teeth. You're too good for perfection.
'Hopefulness is not a neutral position. It is adversarial. It is the warrior emotion that can lay waste to cynicism. Each redemptive or loving act, as small as you like – such as reading to your little boy... keeps the Devil down in the hole.'
