Not a dunk, but a media criticism: Think ‘accidentally’ is the language of the looters. All of this has been reckless, cruel, short-sighted, discriminatory, illegal (tho you wouldn’t know it given congress’ response),—but not accidental. Accidental suggests the actor didn’t mean to. They meant it.

Over the past five years or so, whenever I get discouraged, I ask myself: "Who would be happy if I quit now?" At least for me, it helps.

A fun historical fact about the French Resistance during WWII is that none of those people were ever going to get a shot at Hitler. They were, however, in a position to do something about the people Hitler relied on to carry out his orders. This has been your random history fact of the day.

This tweet sent out 14 hours BEFORE the crash needs to be immortalized in stone. Or on a plaque in every ATC tower. Or on a disclaimer before every Mayday: Air Disaster episode. Or on an Amber Alert type system to every American. Or on a stamp. Or maybe currency. Something.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

All I can really say at this point is if everyone isn't watching how trans people have lost basic rights and protections on a scale that hasn't been seen in decades in the span of 72 hours and realizing that even if you aren't trans there's nothing stopping it from happening to you, you're a fool

Bodily autonomy means bodily autonomy. Full stop. Your body belongs to you and nobody else gets to decide what you do to it. Have an abortion. Take HRT. Have sex for money. Have sex for free. Have no sex at all. Gain weight. Lose weight. Get a tattoo. What's right for you is your right.

President Trump just shut off funding for law enforcement, farmers, schools, veterans, and health care.  We are working diligently to reverse this, but we are preparing for every outcome to help Minnesotans weather this storm. Minnesota needs answers. We’ll see Trump in court.
