Your periodic reminder that the reason all of the awful & illegal things keep happening in 🇺🇸 politics - dating back through torture to Iran-Contra to Watergate all the way back to 1865 - is because there are never any actual consequences for all of the awful & illegal things happening in 🇺🇸 politics.

"They promised to fight for the forgotten American, the working mom, the laid-off factory worker... Instead, they handed billions to ICE, gutted your health care, and set fire to the basic freedoms... Not because they care about you. Because they know if you're scared, you're easier to control."

I wouldn't be out there if I didn't believe that America can come through this moment, if each of us is prepared to play our role in demanding and delivering a better future.

#ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited I like to think there are some who are wavering and we can welcome them to the good side. But the ones who drank the Kool-Aid are probably beyond hope. Save your time and energy.

In the days of lovely Twitter I often put out a call for help with research in writing my books. So here goes, Bluskiers. I'm looking for a social worker (adoption/fostering preferably) and a probation officer who worked between 2008 and 2012, the more senior the better. Please share :)

If as President you answer “I don’t know” when asked if you’ll follow the Constitution, you have violated your oath of office and should be removed.

As the economy goes into a worldwide recession, or potentially depression, as you lose all of your savings and retirement, and some of you lose your jobs... Realize that the GOP Congress could stop this instantly by impeaching Trump. The GOP owns this disaster. Worldwide. People are going to die.

www.comicsands.com/mace-voter-t... This chick!!! Talking about someone getting in her face? The dude was respectful, asked a simple question and kept a respectful distance. She was antagonistic, disrespectful and defensive. How is she a US representative?!?!? SC you can do better than this.

There are nut cases of all descriptions, but anyone who doesn’t think it’s Trump who has enabled political violence by all of them is a fool.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

Zelensky wore a sweater and pants to show solidarity with his troops and he got destroyed, but Bukele showed up looking like the manager of a Staten Island nightclub and no one said a goddamn word.

I give up. Seriously, what am I missing? How are countries that don't buy as much shit from us as we buy from them "ripping us off?" If we had shit they wanted, they would buy it. I don't get his take. I will never get it. It just seems juvenile and stoopid as fuck.

I think it’s very funny that one of the go-to defenses for Trump’s very stupid version of mercantilism is “he’s had these views for forty years.” Oh well, then we absolutely gotta let him wreck the global economy if he’s believed this nonsense for long enough.

The message is: crowd large. Many politicians, administrators, and business leaders, in bowing to Trump, have drawn confidence and comfort from the perceived vibe shift. Events like this puncture that delusion.

Yes, the stock market may be tanking and our national security apparatus has never been more vulnerable and we're on the verge of both economic collapse and war, but it was all worth it to keep pronouns out of email signatures.
