Husband has "what does the fox say" stuck in his head but I have "simply having a wonderful Christmas time" stuck in mine so we're both having a pretty rough evening.

Okay, I've thought about it and there are a few things I think the Democrats could do that are more productive than what they're doing now. - Crash and livestream the GOP coke parties. - Getting death threats? DOX THE SENDER - Dare that rent-a-cop to shoot you.

Unimaginable damage is being caused to global health. A ‘90 day pause’ is not recoverable, as staff, resources and essential supplies will be lost (this is happening already). This costs lives. Repercussions will be global and long-term. #NIH #CDC #USAID #PEPFAR @who.int

i will say that we have never experienced anything like an administration trying to essentially freeze the activities of the entire federal government while making a series of illegal power grabs. genuinely unclear to me what kind of response, if any, these guys are generating against them

Telling Jodi Ernst that she is a coward and a treasonous bitch who will lose both her seat and her county will accomplish nothing, but it could make you feel a little better. All of your senators have public phone lines and they deserve to hear from you.

child abuse begets authoritarians, who then see the world as a place where abuse is not only justified but necessary. that's why they keep using physical child abuse as metaphor!

SPLC deliberately gutted its Hatewatch imprint. They have no full time investigative reporters working in the intelligence project, which covers the radical right. They moved the editor of Hatewatch into the comms department. Spend your money elsewhere during Trump II.

At least for the moment national publications are radically understating the contents of Matthew Livelsberger's political minifestos which call for a violent, militia-backed "culling" of Dems from and national rebirth of masculinity under the rule of Trump ... talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/why-a...

This is Brian and Samantha Williams. Their daughter, L.W., is trans. Tomorrow, they will take her to the Supreme Court to fight for her right to receive transition care in her home state, Tennessee. All week, Sam has been trying to prepare herself for the very big thing tomorrow will be.

Gov. Jeff Landry publicly attacked this professor over a week ago and so far no one from the law school or the LSU system office has bothered to defend him publicly. Disgraceful cowardice.

I think most people without incarcerated family don’t know about mail bans, which are inhumane. People can’t have drawings and photos from their kids to hang in their cells, they can’t order books and magazines, pages get lost from legal mail during xeroxing… for basically no benefit.

Nominating Russian-asset Tulsi Gabbard as head of National Intelligence is establishes a direct pipeline of state secrets to Putin. Matt Gaetz as Attorney General is also unconscionable, given he was under investigation for his role in an underage sex trafficking case.
