Oh and one last thing. If it gets as bad as I feel it can get, they aren't going to sort us into libs, true leftists, center, not center. For the time being, I think we shouldn't be doing that either. It's all hands on deck. We can talk about how your aunt Barb is a shitlib after we survive this

Let me be clear — chasing people through a Home Depot parking lot does not make Los Angeles safer.

So we’re supposed to believe that Whiskey Pete is sending LETHAL WARFIGHTING SOLDIERING WARFIGHTING WARFIGHTERS®️ to Los Angeles so they can stand around with unloaded weapons and just watch ICE kidnap people?

Come to the United States to see your soccer team which just played 300 consecutive days of soccer play the winner of the Oceania Champions League for a trophy we just made up! BTW if you forget your visa at the hotel we will send you to a slave labor camp

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this. Do not.

My ideology is that I don’t believe in ideologies. I’m an anti-ismist.

The nice thing about having voted for Harris is that I don’t have to tie myself into rhetorical knots to try and justify my choice to withhold my vote, or to vote third-party, in the face of the military dictatorship that she specifically warned us about. I voted for Harris. My conscience is clear.

I knew a guy who once interrupted a gay men’s chorus rehearsal so he could soapbox about using MMS (“magic mineral solution,” i.e. bleach) to cure HIV. And then he died. (a couple of years later, but still)

Another milestone toward dictatorship was passed today: a “news” organization fired a journalist for privately criticizing the régime. This is turning into one of those month-long weeks.

Since Election Day, I’ve gotten the following vaccines that I probably wouldn’t have otherwise: pneumonia, RSV, TDAP, shingles (x2), and - just today - MMR. Plus a COVID booster, which I would have gotten anyway. Resilience is important.

Absolute fucking 🔥. "Over eight hours...people throwing back tear gas...throwing anything that they could to defend themselves...Border Patrol retreated. “And the hundreds of workers in the factories were able to escape. If any community was going to fight back without apology, it was this one."

It’s absolutely baffling how many people are unaware of the following facts: 1. Impeachment begins in the House. 2. The House is controlled by “Republicans”. So: 3. Impeachment will not be brought up for a vote - much less pass. Similarly, 4. Removal via the 25th Amendment is also impossible.
