Trump and Musk, between them, have 18 children (that we know about) with 7 women. Family values, GOP-style.

A good thing to do if you are flailing a bit right now (as who is not??) is to get in touch with your own values, the things that you find life affirming and necessary in the world. Read some inspiring works about things you value - labor solidarity, scientific achievement, social justice.

Only in NYC. Because nobody else can afford to egg a swastikar.

Until bad things happen to them, I'm not sure it matters how loud we are. If people don't have the ability to empathize when they see bad things happening to others, they might just be broken

Conspiracists will never get a dose of reality because they distort and deny basic facts to maintain their worldview. They don't live in reality.

When kids these days ask me if I like manga and anime, I tell them I've been a fan since before they were born. Then I break into song! 🤪

Tom Homan is afraid of AOC, and he should be. Bullies always crumble when people forcefully stand up to them. More of this, please

Maybe I wasn’t clear about this. I wanted more egg and no plane crash, not many plane crash and no egg.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

I just setup a monthly donation to Mother Jones! I had no idea that they've been around since 1976 or that their reporting prompted the NHTSA investigation into the Ford Pinto. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Please don't buy into these baseless claims. We can't change reality until we acknowledge it. The reality is that half of American voters are racist, misogynistic, bigoted, xenophobic assholes. Pretending otherwise isn't going to help change things

A Trump supporter told me Trump won 70% of the vote. After I asked for her source and we established it was far less than that, she said essentially "It doesn't matter because majority rules." I asked in which elections Trump won a majority. Imagine if I had asked about Senate representation 🤪

Have you ever worked at an organization amidst the uncertainty of leadership change, layoffs, and fear? How did that impact the quality of your work? Imagine adding that stress on top of an already high-stress job.

It's as illegal as driving 60 mph in a 55 mph zone. Last I checked, you don't get sent to Guantanamo Concentration Camp for that

The "crime" isn't a crime at all; rather, it's a civil offense. Imagine being treated this way the next time you're pulled over for driving 65 in a 55 zone
