I hate when they take away things you were just starting to really enjoy, like your favorite TV show or democracy.

What's the german word that means "the terrible pit in my stomach knowing that my own research + the lit in general says trying to cut off the far right by moving right never works anywhere but the Democratic party is throwing their entire body behind this exact strategy"?

2025 you are at a (raises flattened hand up high) and I'm gonna need you at more of a (lowers hand significantly)

Hahahahaha omg yassss

I'm glad Pete Hegseth has pledged not to drink if he is confirmed as Defense Secretary. So, I guess he can still sexually harass women, mismanage funds, discriminate against women service members, push for a Christian Nationalist agenda, and be a virulent Islamaphobe? Super duper.

Ok that’s funny

Indeed! Let the pardon parade begin! Start with every marijuana related conviction…or almost every marijuana repeated conviction…and move right down the damn list. Perhaps every doctor prosecuted for abortion related politics…really, this could be fun.

Sweet Jesus I hope so. Lame duck sweeping power grabs from the losing side are unconscionable. I probably didn’t spell the correctly. Either way this definitely needs to be litigated, if for the only reason of forcing the issue to highest and longest point of visibility.

Right-wingers just found this reply that Trump’s Surgeon General nominee made to one of my posts in 2021 about the pandemic. They aren’t happy about it.

Bolsonaro has just been indicted for his involvement in a conspiracy to kill his successor and overturn his election loss.

This one says he wants to buy you rockets

Doesn’t Texas have their own fairly sizable Guard? I wonder if they’re scared of mobilizing their own personnel to the border for fear of being invaded by Oklahoma….?

llllllet’s get readyyyyyyyy toooo CRUMBLEEEEE www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

Rep Jasmine Crockett bringing the fire.

Sure, this week has already been exhausting and annoying, and it’s only Tuesday, but if we’re lucky, maybe a seagull will swoop down and swallow us whole like a 5 foot 3 french fry 🤞

$5 on HUD Secretary

Conservative families raise daughters to believe that their "good choices" will save them. It's gaslighting. But it's also an appealing message, because it means they get to go through life confident in their moral superiority.

Can’t wait until someone makes the same argument about gun control.

Now *that's* how you describe someone.

The resistance to Trump will not be from mainstream media. Not this time. The resistance will be powered through independent outlets and individuals, large and small, united in defending the truth.

To be fair, I care less about the cases against Donald Trump than I do against his alleged co-conspirators in Georgia and Arizona. The one way to blunt the nuttiness of presidential immunity and deter auto-coups is ensure that subordinates are punished for criminal acts proven in a court of law.

Doctor: do you exercise? Me: oh yeah I do all of them, the push-offs, plonks Doctor: Me: cronchies Doctor: I'm gonna put no Me: ok

Sometimes I wonder what motivates non-coffee drinkers to get out of bed. Probably some sort of pulley system.

Art drawn by people who very rarely make art and think they are “bad at art” is 1000x cooler than AI art. It’s life-affirming. It’s often unexpected. I cannot overemphasize how much I love when people just go for it. You do not need the machine for this human endeavor.

the thing about being a political junkie is you have extremely difficult time conceptualizing how someone could be totally ignorant of politics but i would strongly encourage you to imagine the kind of person who googled “did biden drop out?” on november 4th and then cast a ballot on november 5th

He’s gonna reclassifiy roofies as a vegetable.

Shoot for the moon. If you miss, here's a gentle reminder that the moon's diameter is 3,475km and you could not have fucked this up more

A short thread on what refusal to comply can look like, with specifics, examples, and ideas for what the future may hold. Actually IDK if it's gonna be short, but it's gonna be specific, so read on if you're curious.

Advice from a Literature teacher and resister: read your history, but don’t forget your literature. Resistance is woven through the words of abolitionism and feminism and anti-fascism. Read the history and the literature.

"Other countries have social safety nets; the US has women." Four years ago, that quote of mine went massively viral, maybe because it captured the crushing weight of what so many women had long been holding, plus the impossibility of holding even more without support as the pandemic dragged on. 1/

It's kind of nice here at 2 am. The notifications are manageable and the house is quiet. I belong in bed, but it's nice to breathe and be grateful.
