One thing I'll say to Democratic Party insiders... Please stop listening to people who make all of their money selling TV ads. Just...every Monday for the next year, spend time imagining what you'd do if you couldn't spend money on TV and had to do other things with that money.

Kelly: When I was flying in combat over Iraq during the first Gulf War, I didn’t expect that there was a 10-year-old kid sitting in South Africa who would one day become the richest guy in the world and call me a traitor for doing my job. Now, he kind of acts like a 12-year-old kid

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

Trudeau: I want to speak first directly to the American people… your government has chosen to do this to you. Your government has chosen to put American jobs at risk. They have chosen to raise costs for American consumers on everyday essential items…

I love backing comics projects on Kickstarter. A great way to get some new fresh stories, support artists. My latest is Dark Pink - a radical comic book set in 80s New Orleans, combining a noir detective story with supernatural elements and unique music integration never seen in a comic before.

I know she’s only talking like this because she’s not seeking reelection but I think it would be good if the entire senate considered there might not be another election and behaved accordingly

I am but one person, but what I want from Democrats is for them to be obstructionist assholes. That's it. I can accept that they cannot "do anything." I cannot accept that they are unable to stop other people from getting anything done in a timely fashion.

The Google AI results at the top of searches are so pointless. We have a resource (the internet!) that knows everything, and instead of going to the source, it's like you asked your stupid cousin who is trying to recall the information from a podcast he heard last week.

John Lewis would’ve turned 85 today. I hold so much love and gratitude for his friendship, collaboration, and stubbornness. Today Dem lawmakers might pay tribute to him— I encourage you to question whether they are guided by the concepts of “necessary trouble” and “finding a way to get in the way.”

This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”. This is a manifesto against disability. This is the language of eugenics.

I keep seeing this. Guys, their literal job is to figure out what to do. They are not helpless even if they are not the majority. I really hope we can stop treating some of the most powerful people in the world as helpless and without sentience.
