Ahh, yes. Because if there’s one thing we all know from our visits to the DMV, it’s that government runs best when workers hate their jobs.

Being someone who is known as politically engaged and active is wild right now because people who aren’t keep turning to you looking for insight and answers. I don’t know how to break it to you, but I can’t even figure out what show to stream right now.

You know what would be fun? If we could go a single day where the word “unprecedented” didn’t appear in any headline.

No, no, please tell me again Congressman Jared Golden how these are “signs of the system working” and we shouldn’t “cry wolf” and [inexplicably] “slow is smooth, and smooth is fast.” The canary is dead, people.

We see you Susan Collins. Once again you’ve orchestrated a PR stunt where you get be “concerned” and vote against a nominee… but only after you’ve been assured that the math makes your vote meaningless. 1/🧵

In case anyone is confused about how you’re supposed to report the news in the face of Trump’s dangerous flat-out lies, I give you NPR’s Korva Coleman. “Ukraine DID NOT start the war.” Did she stutter?

I don’t think most Americans fully grasp how much chaos Trump is causing internationally. Trump, Vance, and Musk are siding with enemies of our allies, pulling out of decades long alliances, and promoting extremist right-wing movements in Europe. They are leading the world to the brink of war.

There’s a local bakery here that sells a seeded German rye bread that they should absolutely call “Diverticulitis Flare-Up.”

MAGA social architects really looked at Western Democracy and thought “Yeah, dump the baby in the trash, but gather up all the bath water you can. We’re pretty sure we can monetize that stuff.”

This whole thing would make for a really fascinating study in social psychology if it wasn’t going to end in the collapse of western democracy.

Stop pointing out that Biden deported more people, because: 1.) Don’t remind us how much he sucked. 2.) You want to encourage Trump to deport more people? and 3.) Historically, when tyrants figured out that mass deportation wasn’t “efficient” enough, they found other solutions. “Final solutions.”

We love saying “he had six bankruptcies… well I guess when the business was no longer viable he was okay aborting it!” But the bankruptcy bit would work better for the euthanasia debate. An abortion is more like a business plan that couldn’t find investors, so the company never incorporates.

If Vladimir Putin had been told 10 years ago to create his absolute wet dream fantasy of how to destroy the United States—like, he could come up with absolutely anything, no matter how outlandish—he couldn’t have designed a scenario this effective.

COP: “It ain’t worth it.” THE LAST SANE MAN IN AMERICA: “It is! You know it is!” This is what’s required. You confront the Nazis. You tell them they chose the wrong neighborhood.

There's this saying, "When white America catches a cold, black America catches pneumonia" which is maybe why I can't relate to the FAFO people. I understand who will really be paying the collateral damage.

I have work to do but I'm distracted by watching US scientific progress & leadership being irreversibly undermined because a few unelected malcontents are penalizing researchers for following legal requirements set out by congressional orders to augment basic research with benefits to society.

“Not a snowball’s chance in hell” is such a quintessentially Canadian response. 🇨🇦⛄️ I’m really gonna miss that handsome goofball after Trump sends in his shock troops to execute all members of the Canadian Parliament.

I would have thought that if any episode was to doom us it would’ve been ‘Inca Mummy Girl,’ but this theory makes sense.

This is one of the reasons why Elon Musk is actually more dangerous than Donald Trump. Trump tells you who he is and then does what he says he was going to do, even though it is absolutely horrific. Elon Musk will just lie to your face about who he is, and then do an even more horrific thing.

You see a lot of theories on when the Internet went wrong but I think people are missing the big one: That time Willow scanned that cursed book containing the soul of Moloch "the Corruptor" while helping Giles in the Sunnydale High School library.

So AI is going to create threat profiles for people who criticize ICE—and then cross reference that with the personal identity data the Musk Rats were allowed to steal—to monitor us IRL (using facial recognition to track us) based on what we say online. I wish I was making any part of that up. 😬

The demand is now that ALL hostages must be released by Saturday or Trump & Bibi will annihilate Gaza. I hate to say it, but I think this was always the plan. The “ceasefire” was intended to bring more Palestinians back to more efficiently kill as many as possible. This is what genocide looks like.

Ahhh yes, the press with their finger on the pulse of the situation. Glad we can count CNN to do the kind of hard-hitting investigative journalism required to arrive at “I don’t know man, something just feels off.” 🙄

Beautiful, fierce, unwavering resilience in the face of absolute devastation. No sir, you do not get to tear these people from their homes to build your garish vacationland. You may see us as your subjects, but just watch us as we refuse to let you commit this atrocity in our names.

I know the whole GLORIOUS PATRIOTIC DEPARTMENT OF PATRIOTIC PATRIOTISM aspect of all this seems like the funny part. But the 1776 Commission and the Kennedy Center and the government-mandated declarations of absolute truths are real DPRK-level acts. There’s a reason he admires Kim Jong Un.
