Writing like it’s trying to hit the word count on an essay in middle school

I know, everybody should leave X, but I think an exception should be made solely for Joyce Carol Oates so she can keep wounding Musk's withered soul on his own site and he can't do a thing about it.

PSA. I hope this helps someone.

Sometimes we gotta put politics aside and help our neighbors. To everyone who came out in the wind and cold, thank you! To the person who anonymously donated $400, thank you!! Wagon filled! If you weren’t able to make it, go to the Open Door page and give there: theopendoorpantry.org/donate-food/

this would be a great bill for Dems to introduce, even if it failed

My mom talked about how her grandma died at home of what we now know was cancer. Her “treatment” consisted of poultices of warm milk and stale bread. And butterscotch hard candies to take her mind off the pain.

This is especially true for medical care. Virtually any - any - type of cancer was a death sentence. The 5y survival rate for children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in 1960 was roughly 14%. Today it is roughly 95%.

Elon Musk coping well with having his shit rocked by Joyce Carol Oates who was probably posting at home from an easy chair

SJP, Indivisible, Gay Nerd Association, your local YIMBY sex club, environmentalist cult, the NIMBY sex club, your labor union's reform caucus, your un-unionized workplace's group chat; EWOC, Ewok gang, whatever. Fuck you. Get up.

Idrc just be active bc I'm tired of this shit

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard. We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions. We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

We are gonna find beauty everywhere....even in the trash and we are going to be extra about it.

Sometimes I wonder if our many years of jokes about writers hating writing and doing anything but writing, etc, have convinced people that the writing part is the hurdle and the goal is just to have a thing in hand. But I am here to tell you: the writing is the best part. The act is the thing.

There is zero excuse for police, in a free society, to wear a mask. Cowards

One thing that kind of got missed in that oval office health announcement debacle yesterday is that they were saying they were decreasing the cost of ozempic so Americans could lose weight and be healthier and then the guy from ozempic turned grey and collapsed

What happened, @nytimes.com? Why not stand by your original headline? Because it’s absolutely an accurate representation of this trash conversation. To publish this at all should be a fireable offense - but to publish it as women’s rights are being decimated is deeply immoral, bordering on evil

Dear Walmart, Consideeing you have more employees on SNAP than any other company — instead of simply having a ‘cheaper’ Thanksgiving bundle, how about giving your underpaid employees who must rely on SNAP for survival, one for free? It’s the least you can do. And I stress, the LEAST… — America

White mainstream media sees Majorie Taylor Greene as just some confused white girl (not woman, girl) that was just led astray by bigots and can be fixed with words. People of color know better. MTG is at best a racist grifter, at worst a nazi. Stop creating safe spaces for this racist white lady.

There’s never a bad time to say “Fuck Ronald Reagan!”

We are seen

Victory might be fleeting but you should always savor it anyway

I can’t even express the total disgust I have with this. The shame of HogSnout’s tenure will take generations to subside.

Big day for people who care about other people

Twin Cities folks! There are a few spots left for the Minneapolis Community Ed class I am co-teaching with a financial advisor friend. Find out how your enneagram type impacts your relationship with money. The class starts tomorrow and is open to non-Minneapolis residents.

They are not going to be ready for 2028.

Erica Deuso is the first openly transgender person to be elected mayor in Pennsylvania. The longtime Democratic advocate defeated Republican Rich Bryant Tuesday to serve as the next mayor of Downingtown. 🔴 Live election updates: www.inquirer.com/politics/ele...

I think this is right (I think it is right in every election). We've got to have a clear eye about what will happen to trans people, immigrants, schools, people that need healthcare of any kind, etc, if Walz were to lose.

lololol fuck you, bill

Nice to be reminded that all the Never Trumpers praising Dick Cheney today had no problem with evil they liked.

YES PLEASE

At the end of the day, what we have is each other, plain and simple. Mutual aid, neighborly protection, and community organizing. We aren't the first to have this fight and we aren't the last. Onward.

And that's why they all felt compelled to show up as a group and make an announcement about how not concerned they are.

I think this recent exchange perfectly encapsulates the dynamic you’re describing. You don’t get to make edgy and provocative jokes and clutch pearls when the other side does it too. I think even to normie voters it reads as disingenuous. This is the political climate they created themselves!

Rs want it both ways. They want to mock Democrats and excuse whatever Trump says about them. Senators laugh if you ask about Trump's AI posts - he's just trolling, lol! They also want any crazy or offensive thing *Dems* say to be a horrifying violence-inspiring threat. Can't have both. (2/2)

Once more, for old times’ sake

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

"The day NYC elects a Muslim Mayor will be the day I die." --Dick Cheney probably

Zohran has already gotten 250k more votes than Eric Adams did 4 years ago when he was hailed as the future of the Democratic Party.

Cheney was so evil that him dying actually lifted a curse

Catholics should probably not trade in Christian Nationalist talking points; it won’t go well
