Comms and campaigns guy. Worked with a whole bunch of orgs and a bunch of campaigns--some more fun than others. Don't know what I'm doing, but maybe I'll figure it out one day. (he/him)

You could telegraph this one as soon as the insiders reported Bregman was signing with Boston. All played out exactly how you’d expect.

In just the past few days we’ve had: -Millions of protestors take to the streets against Trump. -Trump’s parade -ICE raids have continued -Assassination of an elected official and her husband (and attempted assassination of another) -The beginnings of what’s likely a world changing war.

Mike Johnson called on the Senate to censure Alex Padilla for attempting to ask Kristi Noem a press conference. Does he have anything to say about Republican senators lying and joking about political assassinations? Of course not. This is the Republican Party.

They’re into a bunch of weird shit that’s off putting to most. It’s why millions took to the streets today in protest while far, far fewer folks came to DC for a deeply strange and rather sad looking parade.

I’m sure the fireworks helped! 🙃

The Nats light off better fireworks when a reliever strikes out the side.

Lmao. Who wrote this post? Steven Cheung???

I ain’t no fascist wannabe dictator like today’s birthday boy, but your own birthday parties are the worst. Hated them since I was 6.

They sold their fucking souls for Donald Trump. You did this to yourself, Marco. This is you. Forever.

Michael Moore talked about this in Bowling For Columbine, drawing the connection from OKC to white supremacism and militia groups. But the only thing folks remember about that doc is Moore attacking W at the 2003 Oscars and getting booed for it.

“How can I make this about meeeeeeeeee??” -Nancy Mace, when anything happens.

The World Cup starts in less than one year.

Please stop making confident pronouncements about these awful shootings that aren’t supported by facts. Local people are pleading with you to stop and wait for actual reporting.

We can’t keep going like this.

Almost like the consequences for such actions extend beyond those kidnapping people and sending them to foreign gulags. Law enforcement are supposed to identify themselves for a reason.

What in the fuck is happening in Minnesota?

I’ve been briefed this morning on an ongoing situation involving targeted shootings in Champlin and Brooklyn Park. The Minnesota Department of Public Safety and local law enforcement are on the scene. We will share more information soon.

What the fuck?

this is fascism

The world's falling apart, my hot water heater broke, and I feel like I'm being gaslit. Other than that, what a Friday, amirite?

Hey folks--for the past two years we've gotten to know Nicole really well. She watches Murphy for us and as you can see in the pics in thread, he LOVES her. And for good reason! Nicole rocks. She's also a single mom going through a very costly divorce and could use our help.

I went to a practice round at the 1998 Masters. I was watching golfers putt on the practice green. Suddenly, there was a big roar from the crowd. I turned around....directly into reigning Masters champion....Tiger Woods. He said excuse me. I moved. I was 12 years old and couldn't speak.

Was kinda hoping you tried the Costco card thing.

No new wars, except for the big one! 🫠

Maybe the astronomers are onto something about us being trapped in a black hole.

“Remigration” is a white nationalist term adopted by the fascist right so it make sense that this president would use it when he openly admits this was never about targeting the bad apples among migrants

They continue to make their intentions clear, which is to shut down dissent, stifle our fundamental freedoms of speech, expression, and assembly, while forcibly occupying American cities. They are unmoored from what had been our shared values.

Are we really fucking doing this. Had nothing happened to Senator Padilla at all, what she was describing is a federal takeover of a major city by military force with no specified end-date, with no legal authority. Do not let the fascists talk their way out of that.

Sen. Brian Schatz: "This is the stuff of dictatorships [... Noem] was there and delivering her remarks within earshot the whole time. She has command authority over those agents who are arresting a leader in the legislative branch."

I told you we’d be back

I mean, we all saw this during the debate where he literally said, "They're eating the cats. They're eating the dogs." Even if you're trying to reach the conspiracy theorists with this shit, it was CLEARLY UNHINGED. Somehow, this didn't dissuade enough voters!
