A viking ship appears on the horizon, a likeness of Alice Coltrane carved into its bow. Rare birds flock together to sing Francoise Hardy as soul hits. A sunset of blips and bleeps fills the air.

A groundswell of pure resistance is what you face; they have the courts, they have the senate, and it looks like they'll have the house of reps., so that leaves dedicated stubborn refusal and probably lawlessness, given what law might come to mean. Here's where the rubber meets the road.

Handy Haversack:

Also strongly recommend reading The Dawn of Everything by Davids Graeber and Wengrow, an anthropologist and archeologist, which at its heart shows that all societies are contingent, that we have 200,000 years of political experimenting under our belts, and these last 500 are neither foreordained nor permanent nor even predictive. We can change -- it's what we have always done.

From a review of a new collection of Graber's writings by Rebecca Solnit:

"He insisted, again and again, that industrialised Euro-American civilisation was, like other societies past and present, only one way of doing things among countless options. He cited times when societies rejected agriculture or technology or social hierarchy, when social groups chose what has often been dismissed as primitive because it was more free. And he rejected all the linear narratives that present contemporary human beings as declining from primordial innocence or ascending from primitive barbarism. He offered, in place of a single narrative, many versions and variations; a vision of societies as ongoing experiments, and human beings as endlessly creative. That variety was a source of hope for him, a basis for his recurrent insistence that it doesn’t have to be this way."

Hey, you may be right, I don't know. But fighting then is all we have. Despair is OK -- acknowledging the scope of the struggle is OK. FEELING is OK! But one then still has to fight.

Like Trouble said, there are a million small ways to do it that give up only convenience (bought always at the cost of someone ELSE's pain and suffering).

It might be for nothing, at least in the terms that mean the most to us, what we hold precious. I can't see the future or know the scope of what might come. All I know is that there is no such thing as telos. Nothing is foreordained. So one may as well put one's energy into shaping a future one can at least feel prouder of.

Yesterday was a tough day. I had things to keep me focused and occupied, but at the end of the day I was alone and had to explain to the dog how the world was changed. This here is my only social media and I already limit that. Working with local groups to safeguard the more vulnerable is always necessary. Offline things will become even more necessary as the surveillance and tracking of groups is only going to increase. As unpleasant as it may seem, in the long term people need to move out of our safe metropolitan and upstate bubbles INTO the America, become part of the red communities, open local businesses, live with them, earn their trust, and talk to them every day for years to break down the prejudices and expand the educations that have failed them to bring them over. And never treat them as deplorables or garbage. We need to share common goals and lives to be able to move minds and hearts

When you said "never treat them as deplorables or garbage", you touched on one of the big reasons Trump one. When such hateful words came from the likes of Obama, Clinton and Biden, many Americans realized where they stood with such leaders. In Trump, they found someone who didn't see them that way.

I hear you. But the problem is that THIS is the strategy of capitalism -- keep the workers, the oppressed, divided and angry at each other through the creation of false divides: race, class, culture wars. If we don't make common cause against the actual enemy, the tiny group of capitalists who keep us divided so as to accelerate wealth extraction and take everything -- and do it soon! -- then we're well and truly screwed. Somehow, these barriers have to fall.

And I continually think that it comes back to antiracist work. Start there, with capitalism's original strategy of division, and all the other -isms start to fall.

It's not a bad idea. We moved to a red collar county about 30 miles out of Chicago 30 years ago. As the population grew over those three decades, the county got purpler until eventually, two election cycles ago, Democrats won a majority on the County Board and still hold most local administrative and legislative offices today. It's not exactly "the sticks," but it has been nice to witness the evolution. That said, we did not make THEM deplorable. The fact remains that prejudice and bigotry are real and society will always be vulnerable to it as long as so-called "marginal" communities assert their rightful share in society with all the pride and self-actualization that we all deserve.

Recently a Verizon guy came to my apt to fix my internet. South Brooklyn Italian. Union guy. I complained about the Verizon AI chat. He was like “yeah, it’s all about the money”. Together we kvetched about corporations while he fixed my internet. He was like “you’re a good guy, I’m not going to charge you, you pay enough money.”

Then he goes on “I’m a liberal guy, I don’t care wtf people do, if they are trans or whatever. But I gotta tell you, I’m voting for Trump.” We were simpatico on the problem, just not the conclusion. But I came away hopeful. Because we basically agreed on the problem. A greed. A corporate greed.

Guide of the stars, who art thou then if thou,
Bound to the tail of folly's uncurbed steed,

Eyes open, plunge down headlong in the abyss.

calling people stupid is not going to win them over to your side. Nor will it make them realize that they are stupid and want to become smart like you. If you want to win people over you have to treat them as equals, with warmth and empathy. and over time teach them to think, teach them to analyze, teach them some history. If you cant live side by side with them, ugh it sounds like Im advocating some sort of reverse missionary act, then write plays, tv scripts , films that dont exploit them or call them names, but that show their lives and maybe even indirectly show the falsity of some of the basic premises they've been sold and how these large things affect them, and how small things can make a difference.

since most anti-choice states allow death penalty killings, I also disagree with that thought idea.

NO it's always been about control. I've talked to men who think that women start to show at 5 weeks, and we somehow magically know when they're pregnant. In America, you need permission beforehand to take organs from a dead body, but you want half of the population to be on permanent gestation standby? Women are already dying in red states because doctors are afraid to intervene in cases of miscarriage. Rape victims are being forced to carry to term. And women are being harassed more already; go read any social media feed not run by a white male.

Hot take: You don't get a say in what other people do with their bodies. Would you be OK with getting a random knock on the door and being told that by law, you have to give blood/a lung/kidney to save the life of someone ALREADY HERE and actuall post-born? Also reality check time. Go read this: www.threads.net...

Can we please stop enabling this troll? No one here is going to convince them of anything. Not in this forum, not through a chat. If they cannot understand systems of oppression or ethics of care, we are not going to effect that understanding here. Just ignore it. Maybe it has a parade or something to go it.

He said something like, I don't care about you I just want your vote.
Months ago at a speech of a Christian group he claimed, "in four years, you don't have to vote again. We'll have it fixed so good, you're not gonna have to vote."

Not saying you cant call out stupid or evil, necessary distinctions that have to be made daily. I am saying that if you want to bring people who voted with the majority on tuesday over to our side, calling them names will not make them see the light. The problem is entrenched way deeper that that. Not everyone has to live in the trenches to fight the war either, or rather than war metaphors it might be more productive to characterize as education sharing. A terribly long term plan, but I dont see another way to bring people around. I am horrified by the results two days ago. I get that for today anger and name calling may be cathartic salves, just thinking that in the long term a strategy for overcoming this intractable ignorance has to be tractable education, which will require some empathy. But in case anyone misunderstands that my long term goal idea is weakness or sympathizing, the right wing nut jobs that are taking over all branches of our government and are bent on undermining all forms of decency, discourse, and freedoms that should be not only obvious but totally entrenched in the constitution, These people need to be stopped, confronted daily, and ultimately replaced.

I have to admit, one of the things that annoys me the most is that Trump is babbling idiot. I thought democracy could be eroded by a General McArthur type who just came back from winning a huge war. Nah, it only took eggs rising a few dollars for voters to look past hiring a convicted felon to be their leader. Btw, the stock market—even big oil stocks performed far better under Biden than Trump—and that was in defiance of far higher interest rates. Biden and the Fed are responsible for the lowest inflation and best market appreciation of any country. Its not even close. But eggs...
