I just had a walk along the beach with Mitch Mcconnell. When I looked back,I only saw one set of footprints and I asked him why and he said "That was when you carried me" and then he took away my health insurance.

Uncle Tom getting caught slipping out of the House side right before major SCOTUS rulings is the ultimate picture of a corrupt, partisan judiciary. Unelected judges shouldn't be secretly huddling with House Republican leadership. This isn't a democracy—it's a kingdom. Expand & reform the Court now.🤦🏾‍♂️

Seeing how much of the right-wing on Twitter is just bot farms, kinda lays bare how much hate and hatred is a project that needs to be constantly maintained, a fire that needs to be fed all the time lest it go out for a moment, so much time, effort, and resources to keep people angry and hateful.

i really hate the notion that has taken hold that bush is not responsible for the shit bush did as president. yes, cheney was his advisor and wingman and his soul is soaked with the blood of iraqis and americans, but at the end of the day bush was the decider.

It's been another quiet morning at Chicago's immigration court. We have not seen any feds on the premises. Activists are handing out flyers and chalking the sidewalks. ICE hasn't returned to attempt any arrests since autonomous protesters established a constant presence here last Monday.

LOS ANGELES: Stay off the streets tonight. Stay home. Stay safe. Tom Homan says the National Guard might be deployed — and I’m telling you, he wants violence. They’re baiting us to react so they can escalate. Rule #1: Never protest at night. That’s when the worst happens—under cover of darkness.

Again: he is not going to back down from tariffs because the imports collapse is an explicitly good thing to him. It’s the whole goal of the policy. He sees the number of containers going to zero and thinks *that is a success* because it means we’re not buying things from those foreigners anymore.

an under discussed aspect of the “birth rate decline panic” is that young people keep voting for politicians and agendas that never win in america and feel like the world is doomed, while older generations keep reiterating that doom cycle and forcing agendas on younger generations that fuck us

Never write for the reader that skips whole sections of a book. They can always keep skipping whatever they want, but the reader who doesn't skip will lose what you didn't put in. Don't prioritize the ones who don't care that much over the ones who do. #booksky #amwriting
