Why is everything Trump talks about always at “levels we’ve never seen before.” It reminds me of my grandma when she was in the throes of late-stage dementia and acted like she was seeing strawberries or a remote control for the first time: “I’ve never seen anything like this before!”

Yes and also there is inherent value in just stating your objection, in public, for the record. Staying quiet and in hiding gives the impression to those in power that you consent to this, even if you don’t.

Temu Trump AK & Temu Trump Junior DC have screwed over AK yet again, this time by vetoing education funding & supporting the decimation of public media. These “radical leftist causes” BY THE WAY are our kids & emergency services all over the state, especially in rural Alaska. Shameful as always.

Imagine being taxidermied for all eternity next to the archetypal hot girl of the bird world and then being named the “Lesser Canadian Goose” by your captors. The indignity.

Disappearing dissidents. Arresting political opponents. Deploying soldiers against citizens. Vilifying powerless minorities. Manufacturing fake enemies. Stealing from taxpayers for jets and military birthday parades. Now THAT’S some real “shit hole country” behavior right there.

This is an official publication of the Trump administration telling you to basically Anne Frank your neighbors. Leaving the numbers off as I won’t be part of disseminating those.

If you ever hear someone say, “well, it makes a certain kind of sense,” you know that the “certain kind of sense” it makes is of the “non” variety.

I had to Google this because one of the women on “Love Island USA” used this in a sentence (“I would be doing myself a disjustice if I didn’t choose Rob”) and I was going to drag her for it but then realized, no that’s unfair she’s probably just getting her PhD in Chaucer

17 year-old is “making” me watch “Love Island USA” with her and I don’t think I could’ve lost more brain cells if I’d taken every cleaning supply in my house and huffed them consecutively for 3 hours straight.

What’s going to be really interesting about this inevitable feud—I honestly can’t believe it took this long—is to watch the Trump/Musk Stans implode trying to figure out whose side to take now.

The erasure of naps as a cultural practice is a post-colonial microaggression and if I were getting my PhD that would be the title of my thesis

Men and boys ask women basic-ass shit all the time like “how do I use this toaster” and “where is the butter” and “how do I put oxygen into my lungs and convert it to carbon dioxide and expel it into the atmosphere”

Having spent my whole childhood in NYC and most of my adult life in Alaska, I’ve realized that the two places actually have a surprising amount in common. Both are challenging places to live and force you to actively engage with them. Both incite passionate reactions. Big main character energy.

✅ personal vendettas ✅ personal enrichment ✅ white supremacy/xenophobia These are the only three guiding pillars of Trumpism. The ONLY ones. Every single one of his actions can be traced back to one or more of these three goals.

I 💯 buy the conspiracy theories that this war against the Ivies is because Barron didn’t get into any of them. Behind every Trump flex there is ALWAYS a personal vendetta, including literally his entire presidency (see Obama WH correspondent’s dinner roast of 2011).

Women: treat your internal responses to relationship dynamics as data to trust, not as pathologies to manage. Your nervous system’s responses to relationship dynamics are intelligence, not pathology. Your anxiety isn’t a failure to adapt: it’s your system rightly identifying incompatibility.

For better or worse, U.S. historical cataclysms have 3 key ingredients: a man, an era, & the man’s ability to gauge & harness the popular needs & fears of his era: e.g, George Washington, Abe Lincoln, & Senator Joseph McCarthy. Trump is sufficiently matched for his era to achieve cataclysmic impact.

They didn’t want to wear masks during COVID to show the world how tough & pro-freedom they were & here they are now hiding their faces like the cowards they are because they don’t want the world to know they are now & always have been N-zi Stanning sociopaths with a badge & a government paycheck.

And for what? Their funding is STILL under threat. I’ve said this a million times, and I’ve said it for years: this is why you don’t capitulate to Trumpism. This is why you don’t negotiate with terrorists.

VICTIM: lit up a room, life of the party, would do anything for anyone, had everything going for them. PERP: seems OK at first but has a mysterious past & then the red flags pop up.
