So here's all I have to say about Charlie Kirk's assassination: You don't have to feel sad for his death. I would argue you don't have to feel sad it has come to this. After all, he started this cycle of grievance politics. I would, though, urge pause and appreciation for how fast we got here.

Sigh.

So here's the thing. I KNOW time is not a flat circle, as some people rather glibly say. Why? Because if it were, it would not be NEARLY as bad as it is now. Like, we are losing rights at a really rapid clip. Unless this flat circle reaches back to the fucking Stone Age, we are in uncharted waters

I wonder how long it's going to be before our former close allies (EU and elsewhere) start taking political refugees from the US. Asking for a friend

I need you to call your reps and tell them to oppose the HHS appropriations bill. They are trying to sneak a nationwide total trans healthcare ban in it regardless of age.

Not current event related, but my coworker's got me fucked up if he's complaining about how cleanly I work in the restaurant. Dude, you dropped three baskets on the floor and put them back with the clean ones. Shut the fuck up.

After this shooting in Minneapolis, expect the pitchforks and torches toward trans people even more. Not a Kristallnacht or anything (yet), but rather the most extreme scrutiny of out trans folks we have ever seen. Slurs normalized, feeble "allies" peeling off, the works. #USPOL

Now we know this administration works against any "threat", but this whole saga illustrates that it is also incredibly petty. They cannot be wrong, and will go to great lengths to "prove" it. Mr. Garcia's only blessing is that people are paying attention. How many more will vanish?

🚨 Mayor Wu faces criminal charges because she is decent. We all know what ⏰ it is. Of course you are going after a female POC first. She is a “suspicious person” in 2025.

I like what Newsom is doing. I like what Pritzker is doing. I like what Mamdani is doing. We need all hands on deck NOW. We can worry about the presidential race LATER. Once we secure its relevance.

Walking around as president while wearing a hat that says you were right about everything should automatically trigger the 25th Amendment.

It just occurred to me that a former acquaintance of mine (voted for Trump) kept saying he was looking out for "the best for everyone, not just a few." Can these voters actually discern between themselves and just how different everyone else is? Or is it just a ruse anyhow? #USPOL

Remember folks, with the US government being the way it is now, there is no bottom. There is no line that they won't cross. If you're thinking "Oh, surely they wouldn't do THAT!", then I don't know what to say other than you haven't been paying attention. Take them at their word #politics
