You must swallow your impulse to parse and nitpick and find fault with protestors’ actions right now. We need solidarity so badly. It’s literally all we have. I am begging you, as a mother of 2 kids who is terrified of martial law, to find it in yourself to support the protestors. We need you.

1. Alt text is always a kindness and also extends the audience for what you want to present. 2. Screenshot the material, then go to the original and copy the text with your cursor, post the screenshot, then paste the text into the ALT field. Super-simple and takes only a couple of seconds.

Jeffrey Goldberg thinking he was being pranked and then realizing he was actually just in the war plans group chat is such a good microcosm of how it feels to be alive right now, everything seems fake until you realize it’s actually real and incredibly stupid

Attempting to describe the current American political situation is a grimly laughable mindfck because it triggers all the mental alarm bells that are meant to help you avoid sounding “unhinged” or “dramatic” in polite conversation when really we’re just in an objectively insane situation
