The last post before the electromagnetic pulse hits will be a sitting Democratic Congressperson writing “Somebody should do something!!!” The follow-up fundraising emails will go undelivered.

All of us are dissociated and dissociating to make it through today. I hope you give yourself and others grace.

the human body was not designed to know what the worst person in the world is doing every fifteen minutes

reshare for alt text, republicans and rich people who want to privatize mail have been lying about the USPS and trying to push this narrative longer than I've been alive, and imposing massive financial burdens on it to make it "insolvent"

The reason why some people think the New York Times is a liberal paper is because in like 1986 a far right wing talk radio simpleton called the New York Times a liberal paper. Most American political thought is based on scenarios like this

Commentary: Anyone Else Have Those Weird Dreams Where Sobbing Future Generations Beg You To Change Course?

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done - started a war in the middle east - completely destroyed the economy

Remember when Congress used to be the one who had to declare wars? I mean, I don’t, I’m not old enough, but still.

Centrists are not equipped for the moment because the moment demands real moral judgements, not just the ceaseless tallying of faux pas or lapses in procedure

my expectation of democratic senators is that they find 1/10th of the bravery of your average 70 year old lutheran lady following ICE around mpls in her subaru crosstrek
