Can the "opposition party" please start opposing something, please? Or do we have to wait for it to see its own shadow and NOT be scared by it?

Happy “Fuck Trump And All He Stands For Day” to all who celebrate!

Mark Zuckerberg created Facebook to rate/shame girls who weren’t into him. #NeverForget

the thing to note about the Elon “Department of Government Efficiency” thing is that the Government Accountability Office already exists and serves this basic function. the problem is that it’s largely serious and nonpartisan. they’re trying to build their own hyper-ideological version of it.

Journalists, there is no such thing as the Department of Governmental Efficiency. It does your readers, listeners, and viewers no good to pretend that there is one because the President-elect says so.
