When a politician dies we see a lot of hagiographies about them. If you mention they were a terrible person IRL, you get chastised. My feeling? If you don't want people to talk shit about you after you die, don't be shitty when you're alive.

One of the legacies of Lindsay

I for one do not want explosive diarrhea and would like a government who regulates for a society against it.

You know, when you’re talking about forced intercourse, I think it’s fine to use the word “rape.”

Mitch McConnell hasn’t been seen or heard from in 25 days in the hospital. Yet he still has a job, still getting paid, and getting unlimited world class healthcare. The man who voted against a living wage, against universal healthcare, and against guaranteed paid leave, is now getting all three.

One of my tricks was to ask for directions at a pizza place instead of a gas station. Since they delivered in a pre-gig app world they knew the whole neighborhood.

Man of my word,,, imma making sure the WHOLE women’s hockey team gets to go celebrate their championship together at the ESPYs,,, vote for them for Team of the Year here www.espn.com/espys/story/...

All I know is that if Chuck Schumer had been found unresponsive after a heart attack three weeks ago and his office were basically stonewalling on requests for his medical status and return to work, there's no way on god's green earth the story wouldn't be dominating political outlets.

For me, it began here. www.editorialboard.com/why-graham-p...

I once wrote Dante had Beatrice; Orwell had Stalin; for political writers their muses are not the good things. Wrote this in one sitting today.

Gooool for TELEMUNDO who not only refuse to run ads during the mandatory hydration breaks, but also straight up just announced that hydration breaks are necessary because of dangerous heat caused by fossil fuel-driven climate change. Bravo Telemundo. #worldcup #futbol

The SCOTUS decision on trans kids in sports being delivered by Kavanaugh, an accused rapist, under the guise of protecting women is so fucking gross.

Sorry not sorry that I don't want to hear what Brett Kavanaugh thinks about "protecting" women's health and safety. 😒

🌟 Evergreen footnote to any sarcastic question about whether Republicans will stop behaving hypocritically.

he's so good at accidentally highlighting the problem

Assembly Member Jonathan Rivera defeated Sen. Jeremy Zellner in a Democratic primary Tuesday, ousting the leader of the Erie County Democratic Party from a seat Zellner won less than five months ago.

State Sen. Jeremy Zellner's tenure in Albany appears to be over. Nearly all voting precincts have reported in, and Jon Rivera sits with a comfortable 9% lead over Zellner.

Curious that many of the top donors to Rivera are unions and top donors to Zellner are businesses and other politicians? Or actually not curious at all.

Now this I would watch

Got an email today reminding me about unused rewards stars, and all it did was remind me to send another message to Starbucks corporate management that I won't be returning to ANY locations until they negotiate in good faith with their organized workers.

The eight-hour workday wasn’t a gift ‒ it was fought for. The struggle began in Australia in 1856 and reached the United States by 1886, where half a million workers went on strike ‒ culminating in the Haymarket Affair in Chicago.

It is May Day, a day for workers and solidarity. I usually do a fundraiser but not this year because I am under federal investigation for being too unbutterable and I don’t want the feds in your money

Happy May Day ✊

Anyways, happy May Day. Remember that not a single right has ever been given, they must always be fought for

Finally, some good news: workers at Hachette are unionizing, and you can sign an open letter of support. This is the way! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Shout out to the staff person at @lastweektonight.com who came up with "Meownolo Blahnik" on that graphic last night, it's so silly, I love it.

(1) Casey Means is a dreadful nominee and should not be confirmed. (2) I don't have any desire to defend for-profit advertising of any kind. (3) "Obesity is a national crisis" as a message both relies on and perpetuates bias against fat people.

More like "the Trump administration has claimed to want to rein in waste, fraud, and abuse while doing the exact opposite in practice" but I guess that's what happens when a major donor buys the news.

An American-made hunger crisis. A worsening cholera epidemic. Our reporters journeyed to some of the places most devastated by Trump’s dismantling of foreign aid. They spoke to hundreds of people who witnessed and experienced how political appointees cut programs in arbitrary ways:

The American right does not defend slavery because progressives say it was bad. They defend slavery because racial hierarchy has been an important and increasingly explicit component of their ideology for 70 years. Read a fucking book.

This is what a rigged economy looks like.

valentine's day isn't just for couples, it's also a day to celebrate love. for instance, i would love it if housing prices came down.

The default assumption should be that they’re lying

kind of funny that an olympian said they are here to represent "compassion, respect, and love for others" and some people automatically knew that was a statement against them

They're trying to tell us that they always get what they want. That there is nothing so hideous that they won't do it, even if it's kidnap a five year old child and then, when they lose, really try even harder to make him suffer more. Fuck them.

'measles outbreak at the child prison' seems entirely avoidable, it's really the kind of thing that only happens if you do several unthinkably evil things on purpose all at once

Trump’s problem is that so many Americans — including his MAGA base — believed that he’d expose a powerful global elite. But every day it's becoming more and more clear that Trump is part of that global elite. Expect him to lash out as the walls close in.

Never let anyone tell you this was unforeseeable. I was a teenager when DHS was created and I remember the memes (though we didn’t call them that yet) about “homeland security” being a Nazi term. Plenty of people knew at the time that DHS was a bad, dangerous, and unamerican idea.

Live your life such that Bruce Springsteen does not write a protest song about how terrible you are

Ilhan Omar: “In the 4 years when Biden was president, my death threats went to almost zero — now they are back up — so there is a clear correlation between his presidency & the political violence that we see & the political danger that a lot of members of Congress & electeds feel across the country”
