This. 🤦🏻‍♂️

You have choice. You don't have to shop on Amazon. You don't have to buy supplies from Uline or Hobby Lobby or Home Depot - all companies founded by mega GOP funders. You don't have to give your money to anyone with whom you disagree. And Tesla is not the only electric car you can drive.

"The USDA estimated in 2022 that 45% of all U.S. farmworkers are undocumented; Gov. Gavin Newsom's office estimates that in California, that number is 50%." And when these workers leave voluntarily or through force, following a Mediterranean diet is going to cost a lot more.

As a reminder (and without Google), can anyone recall a policy or legislative success that the GOP was able to push through during the first two years of Voldemort 1.0 before the 2018 mid-terms? Other than the billionaire tax break, I can't.

The problem with wishing POTUS #47's government craters as a crushing middle finger to all those who voted for it is the fact that we, too, are on that plane as it falls to earth. We are sadly in this together with MAGA Nation.

I miss seeing Tim Walz every day failing to reign in his enthusiasm for America. All those videos of him shopping in local businesses around the country and leaving with a mound of baked goods and a huge smile.

Wall Streeters should probably short health and go long on polio, rubella and rubeola.

Still polio free thanks to my "strong immune system"..... and, oh, one of the most consequential public health initiatives of the 20th century.

The next couple of years are going to see millions of GOP voters have really fucking painful realizations that what they ordered at the take-out counter was not what they sat down to eat at home. It'll bewilder them and amuse us in a darkly satisfying way but everyone will suffer together.

Several explanations of the Dem's election debacle or a deep dive on the history of "Hitler's Killing Machine" Mmmm... YouTube's algo on Nov. 7 offered me both options. Unsure if it was random chance or a portent of what's coming to hometowns across America.

Throwing this out there, WTF are people doing who are not part of MAGA spending any time remaining in their lives on Twitter? A reminder to everyone that you are not constitutionally required to use Elon's Fisher Price toy. Just walk away and don't look back.

Executive producer of Generation Gap, Beat Shazam, Shark Tank, Survivor and The Voice, Mark Burnett has never paid a price for poisoning us with a "businessman" who wasn't actually successful at operating any businesses. Great at licensing yes, but he'd bankrupt a hotdog cart over a long weekend.

"There's really no such thing as a Palestinian." Mick Huckabee, 2008. For US ambassador to Israel, Voldemort 2.0 nominates a guy with whom no Palestinian would ever share a hookah or play backgammon. A pretty clear "Thank you for your vote, now fuck off" to all those Dearborn voters.

So South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem is tapped as the new Secretary of Homeland Security. Big question is whether HR will cancel the planned Bring Your Dog to Work day next June. Could make for some awkward moments with the new chief. "This is my goldendoodle Scout. Do you have a puppy Kristi?"

Applying for a job with a company that uses Success Factors is almost as painfully dispiriting as waking up in the early morning of Nov. 6 to confirm one's worst fears of Voldemort 2.0's return. That software is even shittier than some of the new cabinet nominees being announced.

Voldemort 2.0 disavowed Project 2025 during the campaign. To nobody's surprise, many folks on his appointment shortlist so far have Project 2025 writing credits. Another week and it's going to seem like fraternity rush at Hillsdale College with everyone wearing a Sigma Chi pin.

As we all know, winter is coming in the US. If you need a break from post-election ennui, you can easily find comfort by following any Martha Stewart cookie recipe. Easy to follow if you've never baked before, and muy yummy. Signed, A fan of 25+ years

"Deportations: The Musical" begins on January 21, 2025 directed by Tom Homan. Not saying he's Reinhard Heydrich but he sure gives off similar true-believer vibes as the administrators the Nazis sent to Eastern Europe to disappear undesirables like jews, roma, communists, academics and so on.

Twitter is psychological fentanyl diluted just enough to not kill you instantly but nonetheless poison your spirit over time.

Just throwing this out there but there is no constitutional obligation to continue to use Twitter. I can think of 20 people I personally know who have never had a Twitter account. Neither the quality of their personal lives nor the strength of their professional networks has suffered as a result.

First post. Time to reach back into history and take inspo from the courage of Willi Graf, Kurt Huber, Christoph Probst, Alexander Schmorell, Hans Scholl and Sophie Scholl who saw the darkness of the NSADP and didn't sit on the sidelines.
