I quite quit my dad years ago. From experience, I learned that pointing out the ways he hurt me only resulted in him hurting me more. Why make a big exit? If he had an ounce of self awareness, he would ask how he may have contributed. I’d guess the signs are there, but no one is looking.

Unironically they should buy up the domains for about 60 defunct local newspapers in swing states. Hire two reporters to write almost exclusively about highschool sports and new restaurants opening with every 10th article about how the local GOP is screwing over people.

So, while he was in Qatar, while the peace talks were taking place in Turkey, while he was theoretically trying to persuade Iran to renew the nuclear-peace deal he cancelled, and while he was theoretically trying to broker a Gaza peace, the president was posting about whether Taylor Swift is “hot”

If I’m not allowed to give my daughter 30 dolls for Christmas, I don’t think Trump should be allowed to accept a gold plated jet. I mean, we all have to hang tough for the economy, right?

The additional benefits of choosing Team *We Do Not Throw People Under Buses* is that this is also the side that has fun, creates excellent cultural production, dresses well, and has luminous skin. I have no idea why one would choose the alternative.

Durbin is my senator. I sent an email this morning and put it on my list to call on Monday. If these are your senators: CALL THEM. PERSONALLY EMAIL THEM. MAKE SURE THEY KNOW YOU ARE WATCHING AND WILL VOTE IN PRIMARIES.

The terrible CR Budget bill — written by right-wing House Republicans with no input from anybody but themselves — was passed tonight with the support of 10 Democrats.   An absolute failure of Democratic leadership. NOBODY in the Senate should have voted for this dangerous bill.

"tree equity" is the kind of thing that columnists like to make fun of when why it works is actually instantly apparent to anyone who's ever walked down a street in the summer apnews.com/article/tree...

Fun fact about me: I’ve watched my brother slide further and further to the right. I can confirm this, because my brother has used real, actual words to say he wants to go back to a time when women stayed home and men had authority over the home.
