Here’s the thing that set me free: the deep silence of my soul and the radical willingness to do what it was prompting. modernmythology.substack.com/p/silence-is...

This sentence, typed in her dissent, should scare the living fuck out of everyone in this country. "This Supreme Court is an existential threat to the rule of law." – Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson

modernmythology.substack.com/p/three-days... I wonder how many generations have been robbed of brilliance like my mother’s. Over the centuries, I wonder how many women weren’t allowed to be themselves, and what that has cost all of us.

It should be illegal for law enforcement to wear masks and not show ID. This makes it too easy to impersonate law enforcement and murder people in their homes.

Lawmakers in Congress should not be buying, trading, and owning individual stocks. Period. It’s long past time to BAN Congressional stock trading.

Today they have crossed a deep red line. We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

JOYFUL DISSENT Now that Marines have arrived with live ammunition To our beloved community, whisper the incantation Three times: Open my heart. Breathe in peace through Your chest, exhale love. Stillness: Soft belly.

Joyful Dissent Don’t move against in anger, or pull away in fear. Don’t flinch from Presence as Witness. It helps to sing Baby Shark or the first notes of the Star Wars theme. Imagine how every tense thing turns On its head with a bit of humor. Now That’s a revolution.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

I never, ever want to hear another god damn word about state’s rights…

I remember when Pope John Paul II toured the U.S. and drew 63,000 to Dodger’s Stadium in 1987. It can be hard to explain what a big deal the Pope is.

I’m old enough to remember when MAGA Jack P. posted “86 46 “ on social media in 2022, and other MAGA politicians reposted it. It created a cottage industry on marketplace sites creating t shirts and other merchandise with this phrase & worse with truck vinyl decals of killing Biden & Harris.

🚨 BREAKING NEWS: The Supreme Court just ruled 7-2 that Trump's use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelan migrants last month violated their due process rights.

Investigate those who defy court orders, every communications director repeating lies, every policy writer enabling cruelty, every water boy who keeps this engine running. You can’t stop a regime by asking the king to sit down. You dismantle the throne he’s standing on — one coward at a time. ⸻

You don't have to talk about the jumbo jet, but when you reference it please at least refer to it as a half-billion dollar bribe. Get those words into the world over and over again so they sink into regular people's brains, like fox and the GOP get their stupid talking points out there.

Half of new moms have health insurance thanks to Medicaid. Let’s keep fighting to protect it.

We owe it to those already there to make this right. In whatever equitable way possible.

Columbia is proof that appeasement doesn’t work. Harvard is doing the right thing.

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

No holiday reminds me of the systematic patriarchal takeover of the religious imagination more than Easter. modernmythology.substack.com/p/the-easter...

AOC: We saw Majorie Taylor Greene buy that dip. How much did you make? How much did you make off of people’s despair? How much did you make off of that panic? How much did you make off of that suffering? No more. We can’t accept it
