Dan Sinker/notes

Most of the time my thoughts aren't long enough for a blog post. My shortform notes get posted on Mastodon and Bluesky, and also wind up here.

I knew that Trump was out for revenge this time, but my sights were set way too low. He's out for revenge against the entire world for rejecting him.

I wrote a post about the Klan 100 years ago and how the grip they held on the US seemed impossible to break, but people fought them anyway. And it's been read by tens of thousands of you (!!!). I guess people want stories of hope right now. dansinker.com/posts/202...

In light of everything happening, I wrote about how the KKK in the 1920s felt unstoppable, about the people that fought against them anyway, and about how fascism always fails. dansinker.com/posts/202... an archival black and white photograph of the KKK marching in Washington DC with the capitol behind them
