I am 6-foot-1 and 190ish pounds. Trump is significantly more obese than me. This is Orwellian bullshit that signals a pure, uncut contempt of all citizens and media. No one believes this bilge. He's a very fat, increasingly senile, elderly man and likely a stroke victim.

The funny thing about a lot of objections to solar farms is that they seem to be based on a dislike of tech being in a 'natural' place. And oh my loves, there are few spaces that have been moulded by tech to the same extent as the classic British farmer's field.

There’s a wasp, whose larvae get into other insects’ bodies and take them over, and control the host insect from the inside. Who’s driving the husk of Rubio around?

Living as a blue dot in a very red area. Having taken an oath to the constitution, facing fear and speaking the truth despite possible dire consequences is absolutely essential in saving our nation. This New York Times essay echoes my sentiments. 👇

Another reason to resist delegating the creation of sentences to an algorithm. It promises to save you work and time, but what takes is your truth, your thoughts, your freedom and your soul.

Disappearing people without any due process is fascism — full stop. I’m sick to my stomach and we all should be.

It’s moments like these when we might consider it relevant that the current FBI director who might be charged with investigating this crime appeared eight times on the podcast of Stew Peters, a Christian Nationalist who recently called for a “final solution” to America’s “Jewish problem.”

I've had folks ask me if they should still shop at Target. You gotta do what's right for you. I haven't shopped at Target in well over a year, ever since they removed Pride merch. Folks may call that a boycott if they wish. I call it giving my money only to businesses who value me as a customer.

If I had to reregister to vote, post SAVE Act, I'd need: a $25 copy of my birth certificate, a $5 copy of my name change, a $3 copy of my marriage license, and an $89 drivers license. OR a $165 passport. Not only is it a poll tax, it's also a pink tax.

AOC: We must acknowledge the terrifying moment we are in right now. What we are hearing and seeing with our own eyes is, in fact, happening. We are watching our neighbors, students, and friends being fired, targeted, and disappeared. It is real.

WATCH: “I wept today.” On Thursday, @SenatorLamar reacted after Tennessee Republicans passed @SenBoWatson’s cruel bill to keep undocumented kids out of schools through the senate 19-13. 7 Republicans opposed it with Dems. @ToddGardenhire (R) also wept.

I'm not saying journalists should never interview admitted propagandists. There are journalistic reasons to do so. But if we do, we must be prepared to -- in fact it is our duty to -- challenge vociferously all unsubstantiated claims. Otherwise, we ourselves become propagandists.

I saw someone post, "It's too late to save America." No it's not. Not even close. We will NEVER stop fighting the lawlessness, the unconstitutionally, the tyranny. The time is NOW! In fact, "THE TIME IS ALWAYS NOW." (Artist: Peter Tunney)
