Weird Feeling
Zoom today, Noon PT / 3PM ET
Hello friends,
Just a brief note this morning to say it’s a weird feeling to see it all play out right in front of us, a near-total abandonment of democratic, constitutional order while life, largely still unchanged for most people, goes on. There are no military choppers over LA, now that Marines and National Guard left. I can still walk a couple of blocks and get almost anything I want.
But I also know it is largely an optical illusion.
Below is a picture of American dissociation—a total disconnect between alternate realities.
LEFT: In the remaining “mainstream media,” on one of the most progressive shows, on the most liberal network remaining, MSNBC, they are talking about the behavior of the White House as “unserious”—and discussing the benefits of “focusing on the economy in 2026.”
RIGHT: Donald Trump proves once and for all that ICE is not about immigration. It is about racism and social darwinism. It’s about cruelty and chaos. It is about ethnic cleansing. This will be horror in our Nation’s Capital, a global spectacle of white supremacy re-erupting.
Donald Trump and the racists he has all around him are going to use my hometown as a model for what they intend to do to America. They are going to try to make DC white again—through violence, through military occupation, and through sheer unambiguous fascism. So, you can call that “unserious,” I guess, but I think people deserve better.
Zoom today at Noon PT / 3PM ET for paid subscribers. I will walk through the Know. Name. Disrupt model, which may seem complex, but is in essence very simple. And we’ll talk about some of the ways to use it in the field. As always, it’s an open conversation for questions and comments. Hope to see you! Details below.
