I have been sick for a week and I just read about "something going around" in a subreddit, which I guess is how I get my information now that the CDC is officially spending the next four years determining when and how microscopes became gay.

Young people are not inherently better people or better at politics. If they were, societies would naturally move towards putting them in power to gain an advantage over societies that don’t. There are large structural problems that shape bad outcomes in the US. Its not one generation’s fault

We are in such a weird place where caring about other people is political.

Setting aside the obvious corruption of accepting a 400m plane, the security implications are staggering. Qatar (and other interests, I’m sure) are taking phishing to a whole new level. It’s really putting the Soviets to shame with their bugging of the US Embassy in 70s…

Movie you've watched more than six times using gifs. ("Hard mode" no Star Wars, Star Trek, or LoTR)

The fucking Magna Carta was written down in 1215. It established the principle that the monarch is NOT ABOVE THE LAW. It protected free men from ARBITRARY IMPRISONMENT. None of this shit is remotely complicated. 12 fucking 15 yo. We worked this shit out. Make Kings Powerless Again.

NEW: Fourth Circuit shoots down the Trump administration’s efforts to appeal Judge Xinis’s order requiring it to facilitate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. “We shall not micromanage the efforts of a fine district judge attempting to implement the Supreme Court’s recent decision.”

Never again is now, friends. Don't look away. We have a moral obligation to EVERY SINGLE HUMAN BEING being detained, deported, and sent to actual concentration camps on our watch. Who were you when your government perpetuated atrocities? If you're in the US, it's in the wide-open now.

There’s no coming back from this. America’s global reputation is done for good. Perhaps in the future when we invade countries, the rest of the world will start sanctioning us and referring our politicians to the ICC. The mask is off now. Forever.

When a clown moves into the palace, he doesn't become a king. Instead, the palace becomes a circus.

thinking of one of abraham lincoln's great quotes this morning: "As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy. Whatever differs from this, to the extent of the difference, is no democracy."

This meme about what donut you would get...you guys don't get it. I LOVE DONUTS.
