I think this editorial by Timothy Snyder might provide important insight into current events

And what may happen next.

Excerpt:

They see themselves as the servants of the freedom of the chosen few, but in fact they are possessed, like millennia of tyrants before them, of fantastic dreams: they will live forever, they will go to Mars. None of that will happen; they will die here on Earth, with the rest of us, their only legacy, if we let it happen, one of ruins. They are god-level brainrotted.

The attempt by the oligarchs to destroy our government is illegal, unconstitutional, and more than a little mad. The people in charge, though, are very intelligent politically, and have a plan. I describe it not because it must succeed but because it must be described so that we can make it fail. This will require clarity, and speed, and coalitions. I try to capture the mood in my little book On Tyranny. Here are a few ideas.


Another one I think is worth reading (describes Putin’s plan and goals) is this one.

Well, this must have been an...interesting....email to receive from OPM.

Over 13,000 federal employees reportedly received an abusive email concerning President Trump, after officials rolled out a new broadcast system.

All of those currently employed with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) received the email with the subject header 'Resign', according to Mediaite.

Pilot on twitter says this appears to be the most likely explanation for the collision.

Took screenshots so I would not need to link to twitter.

It is worth noting that Curtis Yarvin, whose playbook they are all following, has the following end game as a goal:

Billionaires, living in a few cities with their slaves, and the rest of us turned into “biofuel.”

I wish I were making that up or exaggerating, but I am not.

The plan is to kill hundreds of millions of us in the US, and they feel confident they can achieve this goal within four years without any real pushback or resistance.

Plan accordingly.

I do not know if any other country is safe from this war against humanity…billionaires against the rest of us.

Today I am making chili (with beans, so Sheldon would say it's not chili) and cornbread muffins, and I am

Thinking of how these foods are gifts from the people we now seek to deport in chains.

I'm seeing a lot of dire news about the bird flu on Twitter. Not going to link anything, just a heads up,

There are people recommending we stock up not only on powdered eggs and powdered milk, but meat for freezing because not only will chicken become scarce, that will put a strain on other forms of meat as well.

I guess I’m saying, worth doing some searches for the latest news on this. The sources I was reading seemed credible.

I'm feeling more euphoric about being free at last from my abusive family of origin, than anything else.

No sadness, just relief.

I tried to be a good daughter and provide support while he is dying. He was an asshole to the very end.

I’m seeing my family of origin very clearly for the first time in my life.

And it is a relief to be free of them.

Asked my Trump supporter abusive father hundreds of times over the past twenty years

Not to send me right wing political stuff. Made it clear how much it upset me and that I just wanted a regular father-daughter relationship with him.

He was so abusive while I was undergoing treatment for cancer, I went no contact with him for a year or so.

When he was diagnosed with inoperable cancer, I tried to be the good daughter again, and gave him tons of support.

He started right back up with rightwing BS, mostly gloating about Trump’s win, and when I politely wrote I would not read or viewing anything political he sent me, his reply was this:

It is my wish that you never contact me again. You seem to think you can turn love off and on depending on you r mood. Everything is all about you! You seem to think your stupid politics are more important than your family. After all I have done for you ,you stab me in the back. Good bye forever!

My husband’s response:

Hi Honey,



I’m sorry he is such an ass. Not a surprise thought.



Love you lots!

So, a little more background. He is a big Trumper. I have asked him repeatedly over the past twenty years

Not to send me right wing political stuff as it upset me and was bad both for my mental health as well as my physical health (MS is aggravated by stress, emotional or otherwise.)

I contacted him again after a period of no contact (big mistake on my part) and he got right into bullying me again with multiple political emails, especially since Trump won, a lot of it along the lines of gloating.

I told him without anger, I would not be reading or viewing any of rhe political stuff he was sending me.

This was his response.

I tried to be a loving daughter. He only wanted another chance to bully me.

I am glad to be rid of him now, in all honesty.

Thank you guys for being here for me in the past, and letting me vent again.

You all read about my abusive family of origin that sexually, physically, and emotionally abused me my whole life, until I got away from them.

My father of the supergluing a Yorkshire terrier’s lips together fame.

Well, he’s dying of cancer. I’m having a lot of feelings about that.

And then there was the bullying done to me on-line by D. and S. and their people, and my family participating in all of that, I guess at the behest of said celebrities.

So even though my family was crappy, they were still the only family I had, and the bullying war against me blew up a sort of fragile detente I had with my family. I really don’t have a family any more, and I feel anger and grief about that.

I feel anger that the celebrities chose me as a target for their cruelty, when all I ever did wrong was tell them what their music meant to me growing up.

Just feeling a lot of things.

Really glad for my husband, who is on my side in all of this. We have such a good life together, he said today…screw your abusive family, and the trolls.

I know he’s right.

It’s just a hard struggle right now knowing I won’t be able to see my (abusive) father again before he dies, and I won’t be able to attend the funeral.

Crappy family but it was the only one I had and it’s been taken away from me, forever.
