Reposting for no particular reason. Oh wait. It’s to vent my rage.

OK. I can primary Durbin next year. Who’s got Schumer? Unbelievable how unfit these very nice men are for the leadership this moment requires.

Oh indeed. @durbin.senate.gov, are you hearing us?

Why does everything have to be both horrible AND unbelievably stupid?

One thing that’s interesting about Andrew Cuomo is that he’s a sexual harasser who’s also anti union, unlikely to do anything that anyone left of center wants, but who has also gutlessly avoided criticizing Trump. Super interesting combination of qualities!

Same

<low whistle> Did a communications professional participate in this?

I laughed hard (and darkly)

Remember 1993-4, when Republicans lost their collective minds when the president put the well-qualified first lady on a task force to improve healthcare? Because, y’know, she was unelected? Huh.

Still true today

Dear Democratic senators and representatives: Your social media strategies, such as they are, are completely wrong for this moment. Either get better advice or listen to the advice you’re getting.

I think Americans, blessed with relatively stable government for a long time, assume there is someone, some adult, who will step in and make things right before the President does anything REALLY bad. There’s not.

I'm glad that America is doing real classic end of empire stuff. A king who is visibly losing his mind declaring a war based on a dream he had. Greedy courtiers feuding over access to the treasury. Some looks are timeless.

Sure, the world is in flames. But I did procure Girl Scout cookies. That’s something, anyway.

The first Senators to actually do anything about the Trump admin

@corybooker.com hello I used to run the Wendy’s Twitter account and I am begging you to let me help you with the dems social media strategy, I will literally do it for free at this point

I mean, holy shit

I cannot wait for the epoch of elon to conclude.

Rock on, fellow Chicagoans

Almost forgot! Me, 10 years ago today. How lucky am I?

Like I’ve been saying. DEAL WITH YOUR DADDY ISSUES. Don’t force your trauma on the rest of us.

very excited to see what happens when you make a deeply compromised addict the leader of the department of defense and subordinate to a madman

When is Infrastructure Week?

Without downloading any new pics, where are you mentally?

I am once again begging a certain group of Americans to get therapy to deal with their daddy issues rather than subject all the rest of us to their trauma response.

<pretend I had a clever quip to indicate shock here>

<sigh> But this is truth. This whole thread.

Today in gratitude: It is both sunny AND no longer face-freezing cold in Chicago. And incidentally, this adopted hometown of mine is a delight. Don’t let anyone tell you something different.
