If I ran a theater, which I do not, I’d sure as fuck be producing Rhinoceros. We are the ones who say it to their faces.

Come to Chicago next.

This is so fucked. When are people in power going to stand up?

Ozymandias

Listening to an hour long NYTimes interview with @schumer.senate.gov. It is startling, the degree to which he seems much less personally affected by what’s happening in the country than me and the people in my life are.

MUST-WATCH: This is the arrest of Mahmoud Khalil from the perspective of his wife, who is 8 months pregnant. This is federal agents in plain clothes dragging a man from his home as punishment for his speech. @nyclu.org @ccrjustice.org @theimeu.bsky.social

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

The fight going on in the Democratic Party right now is not between hard left, left and moderate. It’s between those who want to fight and those who want to cave. And Team Fight stretches across all ideological aspects of the Party. Misread this at your own peril.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

I, for one, am ready to lay down and die for the people and institutions that start fighting back.

Texas family was on their way to an emergency medical checkup for their 10-year-old U.S. citizen daughter, who has pediatric brain cancer. Parents were detained at an immigration checkpoint and deported. Their American children were removed to Mexico too. www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/...

I’m told this is a real letter. It basically says, “We’ll destroy Columbia unless you destroy it first.”

The White House, not even DHS, the White House itself apparently, is directly deciding which permanent residents should be detained and deported based on their political speech. If this doesn’t scare you about the state of our democracy and liberties, I don’t know what will.

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 30, the number is 100%.

Chaos is come again.

“None of this is normal”, he muttered, as they loaded him onto a truck.

"In a murderous time the heart breaks and breaks and lives by breaking. It is necessary to go through dark and deeper dark and not to turn."

Man. Find you someone who loves you the way Tina Fey clearly loves Rachel Dratch.

I once told a friend that my favorite songs were "up-tempo, but melancholy", and he told me it was because I was "up-tempo, but melancholy" and man, does that live rent-free in my brain.

Disgusting Trump love letter before the hockey game. Jesus Christ.

"This is why they want to destroy us. Our superpower is explaining complicated things in a way that everyone can understand."

It would be funny if Dua Lipa hurt her leg and you were like, “Ackshully… It’s Dua LEEM-pah.”

This is one of the funniest videos I've ever seen in my life

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

One thing Democratic leadership could do right now is to name an alternate HHS secretary--someone to provide ongoing public updates and health information. And do it for other departments too. Start showing voters what a Democratic government would look like--press conferences, speeches, all of it.
