The glibness. The indifference. The carelessness. The utter lack of planning for a war against a country of 90M. The sickness of a man who acts on whim that will kill thousands not hundreds. The horror of a regime that enables this sickness. The broken body politic that votes in such malignancy.

Operation "Epic Fury" should actually be the response of women across the country currently who are sick of this shit. WE ARE NOT ANGRY ENOUGH.

Q: "Do you think that Donald Trump should be deposed by this Committee?" Hillary Clinton: "Absolutely." "Donald Trump has been held civilly liable for sexual assault by a jury of his peers … That is behavior that fits a pattern if one were looking for a pattern."

Peeing standing up

The word of the day is "empathy." It means actually giving two fucks about people's pain and trying not to make the world more of a dumpster fire than it has to be. Look, we all know the planet spins toward chaos and entropy. . .but if you are a person with power, consider "empathy."

So thousands of incidents of pedophilia and seven bombed countries later and we can do nothing?

Tulsi Gabbard released a fundraising video in 2019 titled "Trump's Path To War With Iran" "We've gotta stop Donald Trump from starting a war with Iran."

A decent chunk of my political philosophy is embodied by the phrase "It's never okay to kill children."

What did Trump officials tell the Netflix CEO today at the White House? Looks like crony capitalism with the President corrupting the merger process in favor of the billionaire Ellison family.

Well played, Daily Beast

The SAVE Act is a voter suppression bill - full stop.

Electricity rates increased by 13% under Trump. 49 states and Washington, D.C. are already experiencing electricity and natural gas bill increases.

The sycophancy. The nonsense.

“In a world where it’s easier and less taxing to be harder and crueler—tenderness, though it’s rarely modeled for you, is your superpower. You are going to make a phenomenal adult one day.” ChatGPT could never write a compliment so robust.

Sex is good and all, but have you ever had a pizza delivered at 8:29 at night when you are starving and having a wicked craving?

I already know my answer- I can't take 3 hours of his BS. Survivors, supporting you today and always! I hope you make him supremely uncomfortable tonight.

Hmmm do I skip the thing tonight because he is awful or do I watch just to support the survivors who are there?

Yay!!!! I had so much fun writing a middle-grade novel with Newbery Honor author Jasmine Warga!!!!

Incarcerated people should have access to strong libraries. For so many, prison libraries are the only doorway they have left. This bill is expected to die, but contact your member of Congress and key members of the Judiciary Committee and tell them to support the Prison Libraries Act. 📚
