I'm encouraging all my social media connections to, until such a time as it's not true, refer to Donald Trump as "President Musk". I wish The Onion and/or Andy Borowitz et.al. would take up this cause. Please rally folks.
The quote from MLK at the end - “Where do we go from here? Chaos or community?” - is also true for these times. Chaos and community I reckon.
Right now, I'm more disconnected from any idea of a community than I think I've ever been in my life, but I really think the way forward for liberals/democrats is going to be through community engagement.
We believe the next four years are going to be harmful for a lot of people, so I think we should consider it our job to be there to help when that harm falls. Not to tell people "I told you so" or to yell incessantly about who is causing the harm, just be there, helping.

This is the name that'll be displayed next to comments you make on kottke.org; your email will not be displayed publicly. I'd encourage you to use your real name (or at least your first name and last initial) but you can also pick something that you go by when you participate in communities online. Choose something durable and reasonably unique (not "Me" or "anon"). Please don't change this often. No impersonation..
Note: I'm letting folks change their display names because the membership service that kottke.org uses collects full names and I thought some people might not want their names displayed publicly here. If it gets abused, I might disable this feature.
If you feel like this comment goes against the grain of the community guidelines or is otherwise inappropriate, please let me know and I will take a look at it.
