He looks like the world’s most divorced watching his kid’s soccer game from just outside the range of the restraining order

I’m not kidding when I say these weird ass costumes and antics are actually an extremely effective tactic from a media standpoint bc when enough people do them, the media can’t fully scrub them out

SUPERMAN IS IN THE BUILDING

Would be great to see today statements denouncing the invasion of Portland by: - All Dem govs - All Dems AGs - Senate and House Dems We have to denounce, attack, challenge immediately and defend the American people from this dangerous man.

Right-wingers are calling for my arrest. You know why? Because they know I’m the only candidate in my race who will actually stand up to ICE and Trump. And they’re right.

Dam been writing a book about this and she just TikToked it in 90 seconds.

Trans rights are human rights.

None of the most prominent people talking about universities have any real idea what does and doesn’t happen in classrooms.

This is why you don't make your band's setlist in Excel.

ICE threw me and other protestors to the ground on Friday because we dared to stand up for our neighbors. I’m okay, but our communities aren’t. We can't afford apathy or inaction from our leaders right now. Abolishing ICE is a moral necessity.

Yes yes, I know that particular definition of insanity, but I can assure you this time it will be different. - Democrats

Democrats have always relied on moral high ground and legal authority for governance. They're about to learn, if they haven't already, what Republicans have always known: That physical control is more important. Physical control of military units. Of the Treasury. Of state borders. Of airwaves.

This is so funny — this is wonderful, and it has that constant feeling of almost crashing into a wall, which can be really fun in live performance, and which I am now informed was indeed because of a tempo error. A happy accident, if you ask me.

bragging about being a giant pussy is integral to the conservative mindset

usually if you ask experts why an empire fell they’ll say it’s nuanced and multifaceted, so i think it’s kind of cool that with America future historians will get to just say like “oh they took the idiot train to moronsville”

painstakingly filling my hairbrush with stolen gorilla hair to frustrate any scientists who try to clone me/detectives who try to DNA test me/witches who try to curse me

i think it is hard for some people to really their heads around the reality that kennedy is staunchly anti-vaccine and thinks that people should suffer through disease and that those who die deserved it and that those who survive are a better order of human being

Eleven more libraries will reopen on Sundays, thanks to the leadership of the City Council. They never should've been closed in the first place. As Mayor, I'll end this absurd budget dance that keeps our beloved libraries in limbo year after year.

Putting all the dads on alert that we got an Edmund Fitzgerald book coming out this fall wwnorton.com/books/978132...

I think there is no better summation of the Democratic Party than saying you want to minimize cruelty instead of completely eliminate it

"I reached the conclusion something would go wrong in Germany very early. I reached in 1931 the conclusion that Hitler would get into power, not because the forces of the Nazi revolution were so strong but rather because I thought that there would be no resistance whatsoever." Physicist Leo Szilard

How did we get an entire corporate and political world full of scumbags and bastards, all we did was incentivize that behavior at every turn

The extremely simple fact is that Jeff Epstein was the most notorious child sex trafficker in history, and the President of the US was his close personal friend for decades Acting like this is complicated is absurd. The man knew what Epstein did, didn't care, and participated

There's this weirdly persistent belief that voters are secretly clamoring for boring candidates because boringness signals stability, despite this theory having batted 0.000 my entire life

what this is, above all else, is the biggest green light we’ve ever seen for Dem primary challenges the Dem base is deeply, deeply angry at the party for not doing more to oppose Trump and the door is wide open for anyone who is serious about doing more on that front
