Seth, this is a terrific round-up of ways to respond -- and not respond.
I felt gobsmacked after the election. How could this be?! Again?! It lived in my thoughts like a hateful and noisy upstairs neighbor, constantly screeching for attention. I was too clouded to work, and the grim day of the inauguration curdled things further. And that's exactly what trump and musk and miller and leavitt, bless her heart, want. Our attention, our dysfunction, our exhaustion. A few days ago, I saw the teaser to a NYT story with stephen miller talking about how the whole goal was to overwhelm--that his belief is that MAGA opponents don't have the bandwidth to resist. Oh, yeah? Wrong. The fog has cleared and by golly, I have plenty of bandwidth. I'm just applying it better now.
