Trump is probably going to remove the TikTok ban shortly after his inauguration and secure a chunk of the youth vote.

ICE raids are starting on Tuesday in Chicago.

Yell “ICE” and “LA MIGRA” to disrupt them. Notify people and use your privilege as a citizen to make ICE’s job as difficult as possible.

Fascism has been here. It’s just loud now. Time to be loud too.

I am encouraged to see a growing surge of inauguration boycotts.

Notable figures so far:

Skipping entirely: Michelle Obama and Nancy Pelosi.

Skipping the Inaugural lunch: All three living former Presidents (Bush, Clinton, and Obama).

Declined to give Vance the pre-Inauguration tour of the VP residence: Kamala Harris.

In my view, no one who took an oath of office to uphold the Constitution should attend-and thereby normalize and legitimize-the inauguration of a disqualified insurrectionist and fascist traitor who openly intends to destroy the Constitution, and who's very oath of office will therefore be an act of perjury.

Nor is there any legal obligation for them to do so. Even the outgoing President is not required to attend the inauguration of his successor, and the Felon-Elect did not attend Biden's. Why should he be shown any more respect? For the sake of "norms" that he is in the process of destroying?

We must de-normalize the incoming regime. We must normalize denying him recognition, respect, and compliance for the sake of "norms" that no longer exist because he destroyed them.

If you wish to do your bit, here's what you can do:

-Contact your representatives, and the White House, and urge them not to attend.

-Do not watch on Inauguration Day, or post about it, or use the word "inauguration."

-Have your TV on, on any other channel- this is more effective, as I understand it, than simply not watching anything, as it means the Inauguration will get a lower share of overall ratings.

Blind Melon at Woodstock ‘94, by Danny Clinch

“He had taken his girlfriend’s dress and underwear and performed in those and her barrettes. He was wearing eyeliner and he looked really good…We spent the whole weekend there. It wasn’t like they played and left. We all hung out and had a pretty great time.”

Forty-two years ago, for reasons beyond my comprehension, David Lynch plucked me out of obscurity to star in his first and last big budget movie. He clearly saw something in me that even I didn’t recognize. I owe my entire career, and life really, to his vision.   What I saw in him was an enigmatic and intuitive man with a creative ocean bursting forth inside of him. He was in touch with something the rest of us wish we could get to.   Our friendship blossomed on Blue Velvet and then Twin Peaks and I always found him to be the most authentically alive person I’d ever met.   David was in tune with the universe and his own imagination on a level that seemed to be the best version of human. He was not interested in answers because he understood that questions are the drive that make us who we are. They are our breath.   While the world has lost a remarkable artist, I’ve lost a dear friend who imagined a future for me and allowed me to travel in worlds I could never have conceived on my own.   I can see him now, standing up to greet me in his backyard, with a warm smile and big hug and that Great Plains honk of a voice. We’d talk coffee, the joy of the unexpected, the beauty of the world, and laugh.   His love for me and mine for him came out of the cosmic fate of two people who saw the best things about themselves in each other.   I will miss him more than the limits of my language can tell and my heart can bear. My world is that much fuller because I knew him and that much emptier now that he’s gone.   David, I remain forever changed, and forever your Kale. Thank you for everything.

on some subconscious level i never even thought of david lynch as someone who could die
