Get out of my brain, @mcsweeneys.net.

I think this is the most likely explanation for what unfolded after the fact. #DonaldJChrist

Maybe there should be a moratorium on men running for elected offices until we can consistently find ones that aren’t sex pests.

Donald J. Trump remains President of the United States of America because Republicans find raping children less offensive than taxing billionaires. #RemoveTrump

Even the kids at the #Cville #NoKings protest were not playing around.

Was lucky to be able to scoot out and see 2 favorite authors at the VA Festival of the Book this weekend - @ibramxk.bsky.social and @alixeharrow.bsky.social. And turns out both had some anti-authoritarian tips (pardon my paraphrasing).... 1/3

Voted YES today! Get it done, Virginia!✊

When oligarchs talk of “personal liberties and free markets” they mean their own liberties to become even richer and more powerful. When oligarchs speak of “freedom,” what they actually seek is freedom from accountability. Know the truth.

Thank you! 🏳️‍⚧️

Hurting people is easy. It's lazy. Anyone can do it with the right tools and the wrong morals. Protecting people is hard. It takes restraint and courage and empathy. They will never have that. So they can never win, in the end. Minneapolis will win.

The key to the far right’s recent ascendence is the realization that if they simply go on traditional or social media and describe things that are completely false but they’d prefer to be true, many people will treat this fictitious reality as, at least, a competing theory that must be dignified.

Read this. Horrifying. And to this woman and everyone who is observing, documenting, and saving statements and videos - bless you. You are the best of us.

Playing a family game of Apples to Apples tonight, and this was the final winning hand. Played by my 8 year old. I'm both proud of their judgement and dismayed that they live in a world where this is the first thing that comes to their mind.

So much this.

🥹 These poor babies.

“Keeping Virginia on a winning streak also means continuing to work and cooperate with our federal partners and the Trump administration,” Youngkin said in his speech. You can fuck aaaaaall the way off, dude. May we never see your smarmy face in the news again. cardinalnews.org/2026/01/15/i...

Remember: The real freeloaders in this country are the rich — not the poor or immigrants or any other group of people vilified as scapegoats. The richest 1% evade $163 billion in taxes every year. The United States literally has yacht and private jet tax deductions. Hello?

#Charlottesville gets it

Enjoy this tiny shot of joy in the midst of chaos. #fuckice

Charlottesville showed up today. #charlottesville #fuckice

Forensic analysis of objective video evidence. This is how you serve readers searching for clarity.

Yeah, the message isn’t “oh well it would be ok if she wasn’t a citizen.” It’s “don’t think being a citizen makes you safe from this regime.” ICE aren’t immigration enforcement, they’re fascist paramilitaries.

We got Weird Al out here singing Killing In The Name, the time for moderation is over

The problem is, when people with even a little bit of integrity or shame get caught or called out for bad behavior, they apologize or in some way acknowledge it. And then they get SLAMMED by the public. Whereas those who lie and DARVO around their misdeeds get to carry on without consequences.

Who has made this 🤣

Meanwhile, the other half: m.youtube.com/watch?v=c9G1...

Can I let you in on a little secret? Billionaire philanthropy isn’t charity. It’s PR to distract you from low wages, labor exploitation, and a tax system that’s rigged for the rich.

Charlottesville, celebrate #RestorativeJusticeWeek next week!

It's been so long since I've heard the sound of such collective hope and joy. 😭

popped on today to be the 17,000th person to say, you winsome you lose some. 💅

Oh. This.

is it weird to save the list of names to whom you sent 200 handwritten get-out-the-vote postcards, to check the public record next month and see if they actually voted? asking for a friend.

Someone just posted in a Signal group I'm in, "because of my job, my family was in danger." What was the job, you ask? CIA agent? Bomb technician? Mob enforcer? Friends, they were a librarian.

Doing a SWOT analysis of my organization (human services work with a goal of addressing the needs of marginalized folks), and when listing threats someone just wrote "gestures broadly."

America's still got some fight in her! Keep it up!

For those who are cancelling #Disney and wondering what to watch with their kids, Netflix has made some of the best kids movies *ever* in the last few years. May I present my top 3: 🦾 The Mitchells Vs The Machines 🗡 Nimona 🎤 K Pop Demon Hunters Honorable mentions in the comments!

THE HYPOCRISY IS THE POINT!!

I dont support what happened to Charlie. But Charlie supported what happened to Charlie. And I cant care more about it than he did.

Let's not ask people who have been targeted and harmed by this man to cosplay "thoughts and prayers." Don't shame people for expressing their relief at there being one less hate monger in the world - even if we wish it stopped because he was a better person and not via yet another traumatic shooting

Gee look, my old potato-headed Rep John McGuire was in favor of exposing #Epstein's crimes and child predators in 2019. What changed??

"We know the names." -Epstein survivor at the press conference today I'm ready for the real list - bring it on, survivor-warriors!

Love #RVA

I get great petty enjoyment from using their prepaid donation envelopes to tell #UVA they get no donations from me after the Board Of Visitor's shameful behavior this year.
