I’m beginning to think there is no way for the people to protest that will be sufficiently genteel for the likes of Thomas Chatterton Williams

Yes, that’s clearly the problem with our current Democratic politicians: Not Enough Kitchen-Table Issues

If you encounter someone in the wild who insists that “J.K. Rowling isn’t anti-trans,” there is approximately a 100% chance that this person (a) agrees with Rowling and (b) is also anti-trans

MAGA IN THREE ACTS 1. Liberals are hysterical for suggesting Trump will do [THE BAD THING] 2. [THE BAD THING] isn’t happening 3. Anyway, there’s nothing wrong with [THE BAD THING]

OK Democrats, we need to figure out how to widen our tent to include more voters who sincerely believe “Too Many Brown People” is a national emergency

This is a fever dream. The city is not under migrant occupation. This whole thing kicked off because ICE began an intense operation across the city to raid Home Depots and nail salons and places where random undocumented immigrants might be going about their day working a job.

The people who are most emphatically resistant to calling the Trump agenda “fascism” are the people who are likeliest to support it.

Anyway, can’t wait to see what happens when the law-abiding gun owners among us start using them to resist tyranny
