Being grossed out by the smell of your uber driver’s bad cologne permeating through your clothes and hair is the new smoke smell in your clothes after a night out. (I had to put my jacket outside to air all day)

This is funny because I feel self-checkout is my most Gen-x first born daughter-coded behavior. Just leave me alone to do the thing by myself in exactly the way I want to do it please 🤣

The only reason for any journalist or news org to hold on to access at this point is because you want a big book advance a few years from now

When he declares himself king, he is insulting you—and the nation. You have rights. The government is YOURS. And our loyalty is to the Constitution—the profound and fundamental essence of our nation. Not him. True patriots don’t bow down to kings.

I’m thinking about federal income tax. If the federal government isn’t meeting its obligations why should we? Specifically, I’d love to see states get the money first and hold it in trust pending litigation. I want to pay my taxes but not to a government that doesn’t respect the constitution.

I resent the bad actors of this era for forcing me to live in a nightmarish reality where I have to make phone calls.

Guys I did it. I made enough calls to my house rep that I got a personalized email this afternoon. Of course it was filled with boilerplate stuff and didn’t address the theme of “y’all gotta think outside the box” but don’t ever let anyone tell you they’re not paying attention

My dad, the people I grew up with, are commercial fisherman. Not exaggerating: the NOAA weather radio was a part of the soundtrack of my childhood. It helped keep them all safe doing the most dangerous job in the country. It kills me knowing that most of them voted for this.

if I understand American politics correctly, progressivism is something that requires 60 senate votes to work, while national conservatism doesn’t require any votes at all

Opinion | Republican policies will increase the cost of nearly everything I buy, while lavishing benefits onto billionaires. But Democrats are insufficiently racist. I have never felt more politically homeless.

I know “all empires fall” and all that nonsense but I’ll be wrestling, for the rest of my life, with the reality that the world’s mightiest superpower is being toppled the the absolute biggest fuckin’ losers imaginable. Just… junior prom rejects, all the way down.

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 📉

Called both senators and my rep today urging them to oh, I don’t know, do something which made me at least feel like I did something but also feels a lot like shouting into the void.

My theory is that leadership is constitutionally not designed to behave like an opposition party. They’ve been in office too long and cannot help but react to the current situation we’re in as a bad phase and not a wild, dangerous aberration.

Throughly enjoying giving a like to the equestrian accounts on my FYP who are loudly announcing that they do not support the new admin. The horse community can be amazingly short-sighted when it comes to politics, so it’s nice to see the opposite. Also can’t wait for shavings to be more expensive. 🙃

Musk comes from a family that moved to South Africa for the racism. He has repeatedly endorsed Great Replacement Theory in the US & Neo-Nazis of the AfD in Germany. He championed the rights of white nationalists and restored Nazi accounts to Twitter. But I'm sure the Nazi salute was an accident.
