The “No One Wants to Watch ‘Star Civil Resistance!’” Edition (opens the original)
Read excerpt
So a few of you have put this to me: how do I endorse so much Star Wars symbolism while at the same time oppose violence so much? What part of Star Wars did I not understand? That’s a very fair question, and not a trivial one: Trump’s regime certainly hopes protest movements adopt violence, justifying further repression. At one level, the superficial reading of Star Wars would be that only violence can defeat a regime like the Empire. Peaceful protests are crushed on Ferrix and Ghorman. Every on
The "Commonwealth" Edition (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’m very tired of getting sidetracked by what our Second Confederacy is doing when it would be so much better to talk about what we should be doing next.

But when Donald Trump announced he was giving a speech on elections tonight, I knew this could be the moment he’d do something drastic and dumb (did you know there’s a “b” in “dumb?” He keeps saying that like he discovered gravity) that I might need to comment about. This could have been the night he tried to cancel e

Even before the weather forecasts proved my point, I made sure to get my More Stable Family the hell out of Washington and up to Cape Cod for a More Stable Fourth. I just didn’t want to spend my Fourth around a bunch of MAGAs and military occupiers; I didn’t think the Second Confederate President also would build a shitty “state fair” with bad exhibits and totally inadequate cooling/hydration stations with no real plan for bad weather and so many fireworks they’d actually harm the air quality.
