After I visited my family in Texas I kept driving west until I hit Palo Duro canyon ImageImageImageImage
More Palo Duro ImageImageImageImage
Went to Hill Country and climbed to the top of Enchanted Rock ImageImageImageImage
Hill Country trees and flowers ImageImageImageImage
Went to Cave Without a Name in Boerne, TX ImageImageImageImage
Now after a VERY long drive I am back in St Louis. If you tried to reach me last week, I'll get back to you later. In the meantime, check out the @gaslitnation episode that came out while I was gone:

"It's been two months since there was a violent attack on the Capitol resulting in deaths. The people at the top in this mafia cohort surrounding Trump -- Stone, Bannon, Flynn, etc -- are still not being prosecuted for their role in it." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/electora…
"The aftermath of the Capitol attack is a total disaster from a democracy point of view. It's been played very well by the instigators, who are inside our institutions. The attack was an inside job. It was planned early." -- @ruthbenghiat on @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/electora…
"When Trump had the rally, he wasn't just inciting violence. He told the crowd 'I love you, you're special, our journey is beginning.' January 6 was a rescue operation of the leader. It reminded me of early fascism." -- @ruthbenghiat on @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/electora…

"There wouldn't have been fascism without WWI. The wounds were new; the scale of psychological damage was new. People became desensitized to killing and hearing about killing. They had their lives turned upside-down." -- @ruthbenghiat on @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/electora…
"Fascists find favor after times of rapid change. Gender emancipation, racial emancipation, labor movements. Figures who simultaneously promise to turn the clock back *and* shake things up begin to emerge on the political scene. These are the strongmen." patreon.com/posts/electora…
"All strongmen are very skilled at mass communication. They know how to be whatever the culture needs them to be. There has to be turmoil in society that is viewed by some as apocalyptic, so they seek a savior in the strongman." patreon.com/posts/electora… -- @gaslitnation

"The story of mercenary Israeli intelligence firm Black Cube, which threatened Obama officials with Trump's approval, has been almost entirely dropped -- even though one of the officials they threatened is now up for a Biden admin role." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/why-does…
"GOP Senators are obsessed with Colin Kahl's tweets on politics, but the tweets everyone should be looking at are the ones where he describes being targeted by Black Cube -- a terrifying situation that was never resolved."

Thread:
"The threats to Kahl and Ben Rhodes were so severe that they prompted an investigation into Black Cube by Elijah Cummings in 2018. How did that turn out? Cummings abruptly died in 2019 and Congress dropped the inquiry."

"In Missouri, we voted for progressive policies. Raise min wage. Protect labor unions. Ban dark money. Republicans and independents voted for these initiatives too, not just Dems. And then the MO GOP state legislature just shut them down." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/why-does…
"The Missouri state legislature made it impossible for Missourians to move forward, even though we got our shit together and voted. They just overrule our votes. And MO is the model of what will happen nationally if the GOP gains ground." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/why-does…
"The situation in MO is also a reminder to the Dem party that states like mine need help. We need money and support for good candidates. Instead we're blown off or told we deserve to die after every disaster caused by the leadership that overrules us." patreon.com/posts/why-does…

"We live in a growing corporate oligarch-driven power structure. Elon Musk drives space exploration. Jeff Bezos provides journalism jobs. Our economy and democracy should never be dependent on oligarchs being benevolent." -- @AndreaChalupa on @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/why-does…
"The US is a far right country in how the power structure is skewed. We still deal with the fallout of Reagan and the lie of trickle-down economics. We're still dealing with the destruction of the Fairness Doctrine." -- @AndreaChalupa on @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/why-does…
"As a result, you get the GOP voting against the Rescue Plan. A major party that could easily come back into power voting against this plan -- voting against their own constituents' welfare -- is a MASSIVE red flag." -- @AndreaChalupa on @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/why-does…
