It doesn't matter how many cheerleaders he had on the field campaigning for him. That doesn't mean he gets to go in and sit atop any of our agencies"

Me watching unhinged videos: WHAT THE EFF DID I JUST WATCH???? Also Me: Imma send this to the group chat.

Every so often I see this posted: “hear me out: - The scholastic book fair - For adults - At a bar” & almost every time someone will respond, “Mychal’s been trying to create an Adult Scholastic Book Fair! He wants the funds dedicated to local schools to ensure no kid goes home empty-handed.” 😭📚💜

I read half a book this week. I’m amazed. Reading right now feels like trying to concentrate on embroidery, while sitting on a shifting tectonic plate, as a horde of screaming banshees chucks needles at you. #booksky

He isn’t hiding it, so why are you providing cover for him @washingtonpost.com, @postopinions.bsky.social?

Day two is almost over. Take a deep breath. Have a glass of water. And if you haven’t had one yet, maybe even eat a little snack. I want you to give yourself permission to take care of yourself even while you’re afraid.
