The most important part of republican fascism is the demand you must be nice to them.

Obviously it's a very bad moment but it is funny that Trump really seems to have thought he would win a Nobel Peace Prize by getting on the phone with a bunch of authoritarian sociopaths and saying "knock it off." Dumbest possible version of the Great Man Theory of History. The sports radio version.

You're laughing. The President is having a meltdown on the South Lawn, and you're laughing.

Brownshirt ICE rolled up to my local Home Depot today and got the F-off treatment. Shoutout to this woman because this is exactly how it’s done. No badge, face covered = F*ck all the way off. 📌 It’s on us citizens to stand up for our vulnerable brothers and sisters.

In a similar vein, I’d like to urge Van Jones to go fuck himself.

A regional war is still immensely bad but it's not really likely to spiral into WWIII and we do ourselves a disservice but talking about it in that manner.

THIS JUST HAPPENED: Brad Lander walked through the fire, got burned, and came back with a fucking gasoline can. ICE arrested him — now he’s escorting migrants right past them, again. Most politicians wouldn’t show up. He showed out.

the pope is setting the church up to make catholics pick a side, and good for it, what’s the point of being the pope if you can’t flex political and theological muscle

AOC played ball and did everything Pelosi told her and was rewarded by being passed over for a 75-year-old who died four months later. There have now been four House votes this year where Dems lost by the margin of members who died in office. No one has more right to say this than her

What a year for Brad Marchand 🐀 ◽️ Wins 4 Nations Face-Off with Canada ◽️ Traded from the Bruins after 16 seasons ◽️ Wins Stanley Cup with the Panthers (scoring six in the Final)

My favorite thing about watching teams celebrate winning the Stanley Cup is that it's always the captain raising The Cup first, not the owner. That and every player on the team gets to do a mini-victory lap with it.
