Reactivating briefly to say some stuff

1) Fuck police forever. If you're scared of air fresheners and can't tell a taser from a gun maybe you shouldn't be allowed outside unsupervised

I wrote a brief substack about it, that's right I have a substack now

2) I just appeared on the latest No Easy Answers podcast (@NoEasyAnswerPod) with the esteemed @realjulestaylor. We talk about the far right, mostly why are they and what can we do about it?

It was really fun to make, hopefully you enjoy it too

Meanwhile you can find my hot takes on Substack (laurajedeed.substack.com)

What do you do, at the end of it all?

When the last chants of "we do this every night" fade out?

When the rains come and nothing's really changed except for you and everyone you know?
What do you do when you've run on adrenaline for so long that you can't remember how to cook food or work out or whatever normal stuff you used to do before the fires, before the feds, before the chanting of the names?

When normalcy feels like a betrayal, a broken promise?
What do you do when you give a cause your all, shed blood for it, drip sweat and tears and trauma, and it doesn't succeed?

What next, when you swore you'd never stop fighting and then the fighting stops?

Trump's speeches make SO MUCH MORE SENSE live

They also make more sense if you've been steeped in conservative propaganda for four days at #CPAC2021, which is what I, a leftist, just did

Here's why people lose their minds for Trump in such a big way:
Trump knows how to make an entrance. The speech was scheduled at 3:40. He came on closer to 5:00. At 3:50 a CPAC organizer told us everything was on schedule and played us a long clip of CPAC happenings, which was entertaining

After that, the upbeat dance music started
At loud-but-not-uncomfortable volume, we listened to:

Billy Jean by Michael Jackson (can you fucking IMAGINE what Q would say if a Dem had played a Michael Jackson song?!)

In The Air Tonight by Phil Collins

Macho Man by Village People (Yes, really)
