Interesting juxtaposition in this short interview from Peter Kuper with Jules Feiffer:

>So many of the conversations I had with some of the people, particularly Black and brown people, I knew at that time were: “What’s next? What do we do?” And it wasn’t as if we ever helped each other learn anything in particular. But we gave each other a sense of support that we certainly needed, because we felt very much in a minority, and very much in the right.

>Failure is a big part of my process. And the title of my next book is My License to Fail. That’s an important recognition and an important statement: that in order to succeed, I have to be ready to fail at everything. And it took me years to do this, not as a judgment but as a process.

And also:

>Kuper: You’ve managed to keep working despite things not changing much in society—or sometimes getting worse. Has there still been a glimmer of optimism in the process?
>
>Feiffer: I think there used to be, certainly when I was younger, more optimism than there is now. But I can’t say that I’m a pessimist now. I think it’s an endless fight, and it goes on. Endless fights go on endlessly.

"Endless fights go on endlessly."

Some of the journalists complicit in the corporate media push to get Trump re-elected now pretend to be surprised by how bad #Project2025 fascism turned out to be.

Some, like #TheContrarian, finally found their courage and quit their jobs to rejoin the fight against coming darkness.

And here's #TheNation, absolving themselves of all responsibility by claiming — even now! — that, akchully, Biden was just as bad as Trump.

The Nation. Feature / January 17, 2025 How Biden’s Foreign Policy Destroyed His Presidency Biden’s domestic agenda was the most progressive of any president since Lyndon Johnson. But it was entwined with a foreign policy that leaves his legacy drowned in blood. Jeet Heer

Decision in spring 2025

FYI: Protect Children's Innocence Act is an antiTrans HATE bill by ogre MTG, #MarjoryTaylorGreene 💩 , and signed onto by scumbag #JDVance

America: You HAVE TO STOP these #Christofascist scumbag ogres. And the #farright KNOWS they are KILLING #transyouth!! They WANT #transkids to unalive themselves, the want transpeople to suffer, and my fear is the #UK #farright copycats will brainlessly follow along and like Beavis, say 'me too, me too,heh, heh, me too'

The Nation · The Supreme Court’s Hearing on Trans Rights Was Bigotry Masquerading as LawThe conservative majority spent much of the oral arguments for US v. Skrmetti trying to erase the trans community.
