She was such a remarkable person. Went her own way, from the beginning. And I don’t think she suffered from the profound personal/professional disassociation that the others had. Incredible artist.
I just posted the AOC full video from yesterday, because regardless of where you’re at in this shitshow, it’s very much worth listening to. She is playing a Cassandra role, yes, but she’s saying things that at the very least, need a public airing.
For those considering how we maintain a successful popular front against Trump, mob rule, fascism, world chaos —- we need as much candor as possible, and AOC is certainly dishing her end. Respect.
What a trip, considering she is so far to the left of Biden. The last person him and Harris expected …
Pelosi and Jeffries, from the very night of the debate, said, “Goddammit, Biden is going to lose the down ballot and we’ll lose the House.” And they protect the House ABOVE ALL. Which, in terms of their role, that’s their job. You wouldn’t want them to be blasé!
How are we to maintain a successful popular front against Trump, mob rule, fascism, world chaos? We need as much candor as possible, and AOC is certainly dishing her end. Respect.

Yet, why, didn’t this come up a year ago, as AOC asks? Is it because Parkinson’s is so pernicious? Plausible. As an oldster, I know *some* people in the 80s are sharper than those in their 60s, so I didn’t take it seriously before that live debate.
But Biden’s fragility/helplessness was horrific, and anyone who’s lost someone to this disease was clutching their heart.
So now, we come to the next issue, shall Harris succeed? The Dems, including Jeffries, will be frightened that American racism and misogyny will depress Harris vote. Gotta have some Great White Hope.
Are they Full of shit, and guilty of the very thing they fear? Or, is an open convention the only decent thing to do? And yeah, as some people say, I’ll vote for a paper napkin against Trump.
Then we have the so-called media — The Times, et. al., will do whatever sells papers. Chaos and blood is their only ticket to sales right now. We are in a time of *utter ruin* as far as legit news is concerned.
The shills will love a Biden withdrawal, but then will turn like jackals to whatever candidate is next. I mean, aren’t you just dying to see what “David Brooks” says next? Fuck him!
Meanwhile, Trump careens like a balloon, the sweet smelling rose of a handful of venture capitalists and Mr. Putin. I can’t stress this enough: The world implications of his ascendance are even worse than the domestic.
This is the sanest thing I've heard about the Trump shitshow. Everyone around me is acting like nothing is happening but I feel a strong sense that now is the time to prepare for what's coming. I feel like there is a bigger plot here being enacted by the Christian nationalists and I'd like to be not where I am when the plot is revealed.
Did you know a good portion of the people living around me literally believe that we're living in the end times of the Christian Bible? And when the rapture happens they're going to have to kill people like me? The fact that I helped some dogs is evidence that I'm evil disguised as good? Dillon says we don't have to worry about that unless their God beams some people up, but what if Trump tells them it's the rapture now? Did you see what their book says about the queer whores? Trump is literally talking about putting people in camps. Not just immigrants.
I'm keeping all my other plates in the air this summer but also working on a hideaway camp.
And Shelly Duvall….

One tip: you will hear all the salient points in her first 15 or so minutes. Then it gets repetitive. But really worth it.
And, of course she went this out to The People. But I also think she realized it was the only way she could get Biden’s ear, or Pelosi’s ear.
