I am going insane by seeing all of these connections! I saw an edit of Mayor Jerry this morning, and that was enough for me to watch the movie this evening with my cousin, not even 3 hours after i left the theater had passed, and I am going crazy. Honestly, the movie was pretty good, especially since I am now yumeshipping with Jerry.

Mayor Jerry and Sentinel Prime are both in positions of power (Political) and are voiced by the same person (Jon Hamm)

This one is pretty obvious, but LMK Not the Mayor/Shi Zhang and Mayor Jerry are both mayors.

Sentinel Prime and Not the Mayor are evil politicians who don't really care about their people

All three of them are charismatic, old, and hot, and they collectively wear blue in their outfits (Well, Sentinel, his paint is blue and gold/yellow). It does not help at all that in all of their headcannons, fans include that they would enjoy being pegged.

Honestly, I need help. I keep falling for almost the same type of character in different shows/movies, even if they're evil. Well that is all i wanted to get off of my chest for today i just get so happy finding new characters to be attracted to, especially if they're similiar to the other crushes i already have.

Fiction acts like every town has a mayor but I've never lived in a town that had one or been in a town that did.

I started this out as a letter to a friend who's feeling down about where we as a nation are at in this moment, and I am still learning how

Rebecca Solnit

I wrote up the best case I could for why we are winning and they are losing. It's really long and more a list/review than an essay, peppered with images from the news and commentary, so here are some chunks but you should click the link:

Trump's most recent outburst of extreme racism, directed against the Obamas, generated a backlash too. It's typical Trump to fail to understand that we live in a world where causes have effects, and the effects were for tons of people to praise the Obamas to the skies while sharing photographs of them looking gracious, dignified, and beautiful while describing Trump as gross; even some Republicans felt compelled to denounce him) Trump himself appears to be falling apart mentally, physically, and politically.

Meanwhile, Vance has had a Year of Boos. They boo'd him in Vermont almost a year ago when he tried to ski there, they boo'd him in Greenland, they boo'd him here, they boo'd him there, they boo him, boo him everywhere. They boo'd him big at the Olympics in Italy last Friday where he tried to glom onto the glory of the country's top athletes, poor things. Vance is supernaturally unlikeable and he does a lot to maximize that quality with his sneers, hate speech, and lies. It's said that Trump skipped the Super Bowl because he couldn't face the booing. And the Super Bowl was barely the Super Bowl; it was the most widely watched halftime show in history, in which a beautiful repudiation of Trump values was enacted with verve and generosity, and most of us barely noticed there was also a sports event....

Also we have God on our side, and I say that without sarcasm. That amazing show of clergy in Minneapolis late last month. The way the Catholic church is coming out strong for immigrants. Episcopalians! Methodists! United Church of Christ! All the progressive Protestant denominations, along with rabbis, imams, and those Catholics (who seem to demonstrate that Pope Francis was quietly rebuilding the leadership in his own image, appointment by appointment). Those Buddhist monks on pilgrimage blow me away – they were just out there walking week after week for peace, implicitly saying "we are nonwhite non-Christian immigrants," and crowds across the south were literally joining them. They arrived today at the National Cathedral and the end of their peace walk, and that they were received there says a lot.

Based on what I'm seeing at No Kings and the other protests, I believe progressives are reclaiming the flag and patriotism. There's a whole new wave of progressive Christianity or rather an old presence become more visible and impactful (including some candidates for Congress who are preachers or can talk about God and Jesus in ways aligned with progressive values and against white nationalism).... Also Bruce Springsteen is practically a human American flag and his "Streets of Minneapolis" song hit #1 in a bunch of countries.

They are losing the culture wars. The Grammies and then Bad Bunny's halftime show were demonstrations of opposition – and all Turning Point USA could muster as a counter-spectacle was Kid Rock, a minor has-been who seems to be the entertainer the right trots out over and over because they don't have a lot of other choices. It's been the case for decades that the right doesn't have a lot of impressive artists on its side. Last week, the Trump-controlled Kennedy Center announced it's closed for two years – to cover up that almost no one wants to perform at or attend the corrupted, debased institution Trump smeared his name on. The performers' cancellations have come one after the other. Athletes, including Olympians, clergy, artists are all coming out against the administration.

Trump is so fixated on getting and owning that he does not understand the shiny gold thing is not the Nobel Prize and the building that housed the Kennedy Center is not the Kennedy Center, which was all its people and performances and systems and standing in the world, its meaning and honor and dignity he can never have. He is a deteriorating man living in a wrecked White House trying to shore up his defense against mortality and awareness of mortality by sticking his name on things and grabbing things and screeching things and proclaiming his own greatness. I see him as a falling man grabbing at everything he can on the way down, from buildings to medals to very large islands, but they cannot stop his fall, and a lot of them are slipping through his grasp.

As for the issue of the midterms, the estimable Josh Marshall at Talking Points Memo writes: "There are few things that the Constitution is more clear on than the fact that states administer our national elections. Congress has a significant but still limited ability to set uniform ground rules and standards for those elections. But states administer them. The federal government has only a very limited ability to get its hands into that process and it goes through the courts. This is a textbook instance where the subordinate but separate sovereign authority of the states comes so powerfully into play. They are separate sovereignties, the states and the federal government. There just aren’t levers or tethers connecting them to each other in this sense. For all his vast powers, a president can never order a governor or mayor or, for that matter, a dog catcher to do anything. He can’t fire them. They are part of a separate sovereignty. And it’s driving Donald Trump completely up the wall. Great! Let him suffer. Glory in it. And most of all lean into it. Trump’s supporters are abandoning him. He’s getting less popular. He’s losing. So he wants his Republican friends to start counting the votes. So he can win and feel less sad. Big loser energy! Thank you for your attention to this matter."
