Went to a mezcal palenque yesterday -- old style, manual production of artisanal mezcal. Completely different from any mezcal I've had before. Here's Rosario, the master mezcalera, giving us tastes. 1/ #mezcal #oaxaca

Dr. #susanmonarez catalogued a number #rfkjr #lies: “He said that #cdc employees were killing children & they don’t care. He said that CDC employees were bought by the pharmaceutical industry. He said CDC forced people to wear masks & social distance, like a dictatorship. And the one I think […]

Here's how adams scenario plays out: bill introduced. Vote taken. Defeated by gop because 2a purity. Reports on which lawmakers blocked it. Rinse repeat. Cue the next mass shooting. Its the congress. Its not the bills.

““Jewish communities have been pushing the exact kind of hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them,” said Kirk on his show, later adding that “the philosophical foundation of anti-whiteness has been largely financed by Jewish donors in the country.”” […]

Donald Trump has ordered American flags to be flown at half mast for Charlie Kirk. Let’s focus on who Charlie Kirk was, in his own words. 1/

No, Lil Mikey, it's EXACTLY who you are. 'This is not who we are', House speaker Mike Johnson says “political violence has become all too common in American society. This is not who we are. It violates the core principles of our country.”

Fuck Charlie Kirk. That dude personally deserves everything he gets, unlike the kids at Evergreen High. But, more public shootings and political assassinations is not a good thing or something to applaud. #USpol #guncontrol #takeawaythefuckingguns #colorado

This is what happens when the Dems run terrified from being an actual opposition party, when the explicit strategy is to try to avoid calling out the trump fascists and describe the fall of the country as a "distraction", when you refuse to make a stand, when you vote for trump nominees and the […]
