Have been vegetarian for the last week and this sucks. Whatever people are telling you about “how much better you feel” is a straight up lie.

See, now when I’m in charge we’re denaturalizing and deporting every white South African — and prohibiting any of them from immigrating again. If you got Nazi DNA, denied. I’m calling it Operation Clippy.

It’s actually a moral imperative. If you can run for office, you must. Women only hold 25 percent of the 500,000 elected positions in America. Because we’re not at the table, we’re on the menu. emergeamerica.org

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

“That is why Trumpists are so focused on “ending DEI” in the federal workforce. They see anti-discrimination and inclusion as a ladder of upward mobility for people they do not believe should have one.”

Staff of NSF’s Human-Environment & Geographical Sciences program terminated. Anti-intellectual vengeance against geographers. And, perhaps, against Tim Walz, high school geography teacher & advocate, in particular.

Ignore the rule of law. Manipulate the language. Intimidate the press. Rid the government of all possible opposition. Stock it with incompetent supplicants. Make the military your personal guard. Repress cultural expression. Embrace white supremacy and fellow dictators. It happened here.

The guy is old and rapidly mentally declining — not a guarantee he makes it the whole four years. And while JD Vance is scary, he’s a couch fucker with zero political rizz (to borrow the term).

Since taking office, Trump has been trying to advance the unitary executive theory, a fringe legal theory that asserts that the president has unlimited power to control the actions of the four million people who make up the executive branch.

Everyone who has gotten a vaccine in the US—which the vast majority have, multiple times—heard a medical professional say "do you have any questions?," signed a consent form, and received a detailed information sheet (often multiple pages long). Everyone knows this. Another reality-inverting lie.

Democrats do not need to be splitting hairs in their messaging right now. This is really not the time for nuance, we need easy to understand ideas in very short phrasing.

Democrats are fundamentally misunderstanding the moment: We're not asking them to be legislators right now. We need them to be politicians. There's nothing to be done about the legislative situation. They're right about that. But there's PLENTY to be done as politicians.
