The literal FEMA Director not knowing there's a hurricane season oddly fits with the whole "queers cause hurricanes" evangelical nonsense. They probably hired him fully expecting to prevent hurricanes by purging LGBTQ folks from the federal government.

Sitting out the 2024 election was an act of murder against queers, people in the global south, and sex workers---how is that for righteousness you scummy, privileged cosplay activists?

Trump’s new FEMA chief didn’t know there’s a hurricane season. But don’t worry, he’s very experienced at watching Americans drown on live TV.

I have a very different theory about Trump's attack on the Federalist Society. I explain it and why we need to pay even more attention to Trump's judicial nominations in tomorrow's Democracy Docket premium newsletter.

Putin will be finished within 6 months if we hold our nerve. Sadly, his pal in the WH can’t be trusted because he’s terrified that Poo Tin will release the tape made by Jeffrey Epstein of you know what. Where is Maria?

In 2013, Jason Collins became the first active, openly gay player in NBA history. According to a piece in Sports Illustrated at the time, he said he “wasn’t (coming out) to make a statement, but that he was willing to raise his hand and say, ‘I’m here.’” http://dlvr.it/TL7rrq

The connection between brain size and intelligence isn’t especially strong. African grey parrots, for instance, are remarkably smart despite their tiny brains. Meanwhile, plenty of humans voted for Trump while zero parrots voted for him.

Republicans are going to force 7.4 million Americans into hunger so billionaires can continue to write off the full cost of their private jets and yachts on their taxes. 8 of the 10 states hardest hit will be Republican states. Republicans call this "America First."

"I didn't know he would do this." Yes, you did, or you voted while being completely uninformed which is just as bad. Prove you didn't know it by joining folks resisting the regime. Prove it by disavowing him. Prove it by fighting for what's right. Otherwise, just be quiet.

The head of FEMA who said he didn't know there's a hurricane season is a white man with no prior experience managing natural disasters who got his job despite his lack of qualifications in large part because of his race and gender.

Don't spend one minute feeling sorry for the law firms that capitulated. They prioritized their own profits over the rule of law, decency and democracy. They deserve the ridicule and scorn they are now receiving. History will remember them for the cowards they are.
