Interesting perspective on current situation and how to respond. Advises those with means to leave US. (Scroll up for full thread).

Though I believe it's wise for people to prepare escape plans, I fundamentally disagree with any call for mass migration as a policy.

Since last night I've seen basically two responses to tRumps diagnosis among liberals: A) Attempt to take the high road and wish him a quick recovery, and B) Declare that he deserved to get COVID and that he also deserves to die from it.
1
The truth is that each response is based in personality traits that emerged as humans evolved from our primate ancestors during the Pleistocene, and were able to flourish by developing the ability cooperate via selection for altruism over self-interest.
2
Cooperation helped humans succeed by allowing groups beyond kin to collectively find and share food, care for children (human children are dependent much longer than other primates) and defend each other from aggressors.

For all the people who are surprised about the tRump voter-suppression operation being covered here, this started to come out in 2017, and guess what - *it's still happening*.
So let's take a walk down memory lane.
Way back in the summer of 2015 we learned that GOP presidential candidate Ted Cruz had partnered with "little-known company" owned by his largest donor to do psychographic micro-targeting.
politico.com/story/2015/07/…
That "little-known company" was Cambridge Analytica, and that donor was secretive hedge-fund executive Robert Mercer, who was also a major backer of right-wing news site Breitbart, helmed at the time by pustulent-corpse-impressionist Steve Bannon.

We are powerful and we will defeat the sociopaths.
Do not be discouraged. I said a long time ago that our current political situation would not be solved politically, and I still believe this. Her death is only devastating if you consider anything that has happened since 2016 legitimate.
The GOP has not been playing by the rules since at least 1980 (I'm not even counting Nixon here). They have consistently cheated and abused their power via theft, sabotage, election interference, election tampering, harassment, and a variety of other tactics.

As someone who is half Cuban and has visited Cuba many times, I think I'm qualified to explain this.
Just like the US south, Cuba had a plantation economy built on slavery. Cuba has always been racially stratified, with light-skinned Spaniards at the top.

When Castro came to power in 1959, the families that fled to the US were for the most part the island's social and economic elites: landowners, wealthy businessmen, members of the political class, socialites. In other words, *white people*.
2
These were the island's oligarchs, who were (are) by and large conservative and racist. When they settled in Miami, they established organizations that would perpetuate their political views and never-ending grievances against Castro, with the help of the US govt.

It's mid-morning in San Francisco, and I'm feeling an odd kinship with the citizens of Herculaneum Image
Evidently #AshWednesday is now trending
Ash is literally raining down from the sky right now. It kind of reminds me of this: Image

Lawrence Ferlinghetti wrote powerful poetry in the buttoned-down 1950s that is just as (if not more) salient today.
Here's another:

If you would be a poet, create works capable of answering the challenge of

apocalyptic times, even if this meaning sounds apocalyptic.

You are Whitman, you are Poe, you are Mark Twain, you are Emily Dickinson and Edna St. Vincent Millay, ...
...you are Neruda and Mayakovsky and Pasolini, you are an American or a non-American, you can conquer the conquerors with words. ...

— Lawrence Ferlinghetti. From Poetry as Insurgent Art [I am signaling you through the flames].
