I don’t think that most people account for the emotional exhaustion of others. You don’t need to be physically active to be worn down.

Who the fuck “looks forward” to attending a funeral?

Practically, what does this mean? The government is saying it will go back to garnishing wages, tax returns, social security payments, etc. in order to collect money from the >5 million people currently in default on student loans. I'll make this a lil mini thread that highlights the key points.

What if we decided that what a woman does with her uterus isn’t a matter of public policy? Like, imagine if we acted like women’s bodies were their own.

BECAUSE WE HAVE A VACCINE. AND, UNTIL RECENTLY, ALMOST EVERYONE TOOK IT. Remarkably, nowhere in the article does the word "vaccine" appear. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/05/w...

I keep thinking about trauma. We know trauma shortens lives and reduces quality of what is left. I keep thinking even if the lawyers win and we get the students out of custody, even if the courts win and we get the immigrants back to their families, the trauma will last. Dehumanization haunts us.

Just know that the utterly horrific or unconstitutional thing he's doing right now is just meant to distract you from the 15 other utterly horrific or unconstitutional things he is doing right now.

Sometimes it hits me that [gesturing around] All Of This just didn’t need to happen. It just didn’t. And I have zero clue how this country makes it through the next four years. At this point, the next four months aren’t guaranteed.

I can’t feel good about Jackie Robinson Day as a baseball fan, given how things have been going, but this reminds me of why we have to observe it and protect it when it’s difficult as much as we do when it is easy

This is less snarky than it seems. A lot of the people Trump is deporting as “associates” of MS-13 and Tren de Aragua are “associated” only as the VICTIMS of those groups.

to be honest, consider me disgusted seeing all the liberals be snide and focus on the slug part of this press release and not the fact they’re publicly trying to defund public media for REPORTING ON TRANS PEOPLE

What we are not going to do is allow them to claim autism is “an epidemic” in BIPOC. Nazis claimed Jews carried disease. They have tried to do it about measles. They definitely did with COVID. They will try to weaponize fear of illness to harm marginalized communities. Autism is not a disease.

From now till Mango Mussolini is gone, I don’t want to hear anything from Democratic legislators on social media except for announcements of what they intend to actually DO. We all know this is corruption. What can be done to impede or stop it?

yeah, we've been at the "this is unquestionably illegal [several times a day]" stage for like 10 weeks. every time we hit a juncture of "something might happen to stop it," it collapses at the last moment

I keep thinking about how women are most at risk of being murdered by abusive men after they've decided to leave the relationship and it's not exactly a subtle comparison to what's being done to the USA at the moment
