You definitely want to learn to stop saying, "I am SO OLD!" long before the people to whom you're saying it just look at you in response with expressions that say, "I mean...yes."

It really pays to remind ourselves frequently that this whole immigration "crisis" is made up out of whole cloth. There was no emergency,danger or problem, only a demagogue stirring up racist grievances for political advantage.

Today in middle-aged thoughts: I guess I'm going to have to get remarried so there's someone to moisturize that part of my back that I can no longer reach since my left shoulder gave up 🫠

We have sent out almost 475,000 whistles for free, and our spreadsheet crew just told me that 80% of them are going out within 4 days of the request being made. 7% go out the same day. 98% within a week from this team of entirely volunteers who are just big fuckin' mad & want to help. 💓

i was put on this earth to eat pasta and disagree

They’re trying to run the Kilmar Abrego Garcia playbook with a five year old boy in a bunny hat because nobody can find peace if they embarrass the Trump administration publicly. Normal people didn’t like it with Garcia and they really aren’t going to like it for Liam.

I fear I may be suffering from restless mind syndrome.

the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

If you send a man to the grocery store, clear your schedule. You are now live customer support for the entire trip. Might as well go yourself.

Ending billionaireism isn't just socially and economically necessary to maintain human civilization, it's a humanitarian measure for the billionaires themselves. They're clearly very sick and we can help them

Minimizing the window where I read about how our world is a joke and we're at the mercy of megalomaniacal evil perverts. Logging on to the work zoom. "Heyyyy I'm good! How are you?"

I’m so tired, I can’t wait to spend the night thinking about sleeping.

Excited for it to be regular cold instead of life-threatening cold 🎉

The release of the Epstein Files really lays bare the evils of (among other things) networking.

The entire concept of “fuck you money” in shambles. Infinite freedom and capacity to live as they please and they choose to wallow in filth and sleaze.

NYT article about "The Billionaire Pervert Advantage: why modern economies require a class of unpunishable sex predators" dropping in 3 ... 2 ... 1 ...

On one hand, the richest people in the world are sociopathically accumulating wealth instead of helping those in need, but on the other hand they're Nazis and pedophiles

When whistles are outlawed, only outlaws will have whistles

WHY DON’T THESE WEALTHY MFERS KNOW HOW TO SPELL OR TYPE

It makes you sound crazy to say this out loud, but it's becoming increasingly clear that the United States government has been effectively toppled by a group of overt pedophiles

The constitutional prohibition on using federal law to abridge the freedom of the press is unusually explicit and really does mean what it says.

White House with image of a Black man and an emoji of chains. And the chosen image is of Don Lemon doing journalism.

reminder that a small handful of Republicans in the House and Senate could end this madness today

there's a reason valid law enforcement agencies do an investigation each time an officer fires their weapon, and typically that investigation is handled by a higher agency if that shooting kills somebody... it's a bare minimum standard that at least assures the public there's some accountability

They really want people to believe being publicly shamed is justification for state sanctioned murder.

Son, someday all this (motions towards a cold pitiless world bereft of justice) will be yours

I say I want peace, then date men who are built like bad plot twists.

I’m glad that Congresswoman Omar is safe. Our state has been shattered by political violence in the last year. The cruel, inflammatory, dehumanizing rhetoric by our nation’s leaders needs to stop immediately. www.startribune.com/man-tackled-...

REP. OMAR after being attacked with liquid: “We will continue! These fucking assholes are not gonna get away with this! Here is the reality people like this ugly man don’t understand — we are Minnesota Strong. We’ll stay resilient in the face of whatever they might throw at us.”

The reality of the situation is that whatever Trump personally thinks about anything, he is allowing Stephen Miller to run his administration because he is lazy and stupid, and the entire decision-making apparatus on immigration has been infested with Nazis.

It's hard to think of anything the Bill of Rights needs to protect more than ICE Observers. If it doesn't protect that, it doesn't protect anyone.

I think @sarahjeong.bsky.social said it's because they devalue women's labor and a LOT of this Scary Logistics stuff comes from people who don't understand that basically all of the civic life they enjoy is created with the help of free labor, largely by women.

Coldpocalypse definitely happened, snowpocalypse not so much

they have no ability to back down and recalibrate AND they lack a theory of mind for their opponents

So is every Sunday morning going to be time for administration goons to justify murder now?

This is sickening. This is horrifying. This is infuriating. We are under attack. There is no spin to this.

how many winters of discontent must we get

I can't put into words the feeling of watching our government, a hive of evil antisocial filth, the absolute worst humanity has to offer, colliding with the best. Ordinary people trying to help each other, risking everything to stand up for what's plainly, unambiguously fair and right. It's unreal

We have been told for nearly 30 years that America needed to tolerate mass shootings because the broad availability of guns would help us defend ourselves from an overreaching federal government. That day has come. The people who said this are supporting the federal agents. Many have joined them.

waking up to another what the fuck have they done now day

Somebody tell this country I got my own problems, I can’t attend it’s fucking funeral right now.

All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.

Let the weather-enforced bedrotting commence

I wouldn't say I'm BATTLING depression Frankly it makes some good points. I might be on its side now

How dare you send your clueless husbands to the grocery store on the eve of the storm of the century

There is one word in the English language that explains what Minneapolis is experiencing right now: tyranny. We are under assault by a tyrannical government and its little jackbooted commandant. We are going to keep fighting, and we will win, stand with us.

The choice is impeachment and removal or calamity for the United States. I don't see how anybody watching Trump's speech in Davos can draw any other conclusion. He's a senile madman.

The "stay vaguely sane" drug in his system just ran out.

live your life such that millions of people don’t drop everything they’re doing to collectively hope that It Happened at the slimmest of signs

As a person with anxiety, I nevertheless have to say that if you're red-flag emailing work colleagues late Saturday night and throughout Sunday about something not due for 10 days, you need to be on anxiety medication and have a therapist you can contact after hours. (Go ahead, guess the gender.)
