I am not kidding when I say Madison intended impeachment to be used on the first, next, and last President who referred to themselves as a king, and we ought to do him right

Imagine fucking up Catholicism so badly that the Pope calls you out personally. Feels like I'm back in the 1400's. Incredible.

I get the instinct to say "it's too late" in response to calls to action (call your reps about thing x, show up to protest thing y). I do. But here's the thing. These are the last tools we have to preserve democracy, short of some very messy options that I refuse to romanticize. Too early to quit.

Just saw a farmer say, "you don't have to admit you were wrong, you have to admit you were lied to, " and idk that seems like a good framing to call people in

Congressperson John Lewis, whose ‘good trouble’ they love to quote so much, was arrested 45 times in his life. The last was in 2013 protesting for immigrants, during the Obama presidency.

Fun fact about EXU: Divergence! You do not need to have seen the end of C3, Downfall, or Calamity 😉 Trust me, those who have will EAT WELL, but you don’t need to be caught up to follow along. It’s simultaneously a standalone story and the conclusion of a trilogy ❤️🌱

An American flag built on the backs of Black people... Black music protesting white political terror in registers they never hear; reminiscent of ancestral spirituals embedded with instructions for runaways All this in New Orleans... What a moment

This is zero shade to Philly fans - you go have fun. But it's always interesting how news outlets portray social disruption in the aftermath of sporting events vs social disruption in the form of political protest. just food for thought.

the halftime show will always be "woke" because most American consumers actually don't like things like racism its like republicans forget that they are unpopular with the huge chunk of people that don't vote

For those who continue to deny that Trump and the MAGA GOP's objection to asylum-seekers and refugees isn't racist, check out which group, out of all the conflicts on earth, Trump has made a very special refugee resettlement for. Yep. White South Africans. Beyond parody.

JD Vance will really be like "you believe in loving thy neighbor? That pales in comparison to my strategy, loving my family first" and then not love his family.

The base premise of MAGA is that shadowy deep state actors have conspired to crank the levers of power to brainwash Americans into adopting any ideology that isn't bigoted & monarchic brainrot. Accordingly they perceive places like ed.gov as if they're endgame lairs, not literal offices.

So now that Trump has banned trans people from participating in sports and trans teens from getting transition-related care, all of the "but we just have some concerns" people will surely come out strong in opposition to additional attacks on trans rights, yes? No? Ah well, nevertheless.
