I talked to a more than a few people at my local #NoKings rally today. Interestingly, all of us in this sample population were there because we love America. Y’all — I think the the GOP might be lying 🙃

After reading the statement by #disney, regarding the return of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, I will reiterate my initial reaction to their whole mess: Fuck Disney. This was not a decision “to avoid further inflaming a tense situation…” — it was a bow to fascism. Call it what it was and own it.

Dear #Disney, I don’t miss #Target, and I won’t miss you. Sincerely, A suburban mom who fits neatly into your target demographic

Per People, Jimmy Kimmel has been offered the chance to go back in the air, if he complies with a list of demands, including paying off Charlie Kirk’s family. Fucking disgusting.

Ironic that the same company that brought us “The Handmaid’s Tale” would capitulate to a fascist regime, but here we are.

Fuck ABC.

The people in America that I’m most afraid of are the white men who proclaim themselves to be Christian.

One of the most important people in my world has pancreatic cancer — mRNA vaccines are brilliant source of light in an otherwise incredibly bleak landscape. Fund 👏 mRNA 👏 Research 👏

Da fuq? #GOPnonsense

There’s a delicious irony to CBS/Paramount firing Colbert in that now even more people are talking about their bribery scheme than if they’d just let the remark go.

… but to be fair, we are living in a world where kindness is considered fanatical leftism…

Hot tip to @nytimes.com — if you have to keep your source anonymous because naming them would take away any amount of credibility, that’s a good sign you shouldn’t use that source. Follow me for more basic journalism tips. 🙃

Here’s the thing: I don’t mind paying taxes when I know the it’s helping my fellow citizens meet their basic needs. The idea that my hard-earned money is giving billionaires even more money that they can never spend in their lifetime, though, is nauseating. Fuck the BBB.

I don’t believe in having heroes (even though my kiddos and I love reading about them #PercyJackson) because that’s not a fair burden to put on someone — but gosh darn it, Rick Riordan is a good human. We need more of those.

Maybe my definition of “liberation” is off, but I didn’t think it included wresting control from democratically elected officials…

OMG, y’all — stop pretending that JD Vance is stuck in the middle of a custody battle between Trump and Musk. Everyone knows Peter Thiel has custody.

Theory: Trump and Musk are publicly fighting because the person who owns them both doesn’t want us to pay attention to the fact that he just launched missiles and drones at Ukraine.

Look. All I want is for the American media to report on the U.S. government the same way they would report on a foreign government. It’s not that hard.

For all the people speculating about Joe Biden’s health who don’t know the whiplash of “healthy” to “life-threateningly ill” that comes with a cancer diagnosis,” I’m actually truly happy for you because it means you’ve never experienced it. For everyone who does understand: Hugs.

Oh, good — the internet-forum-educated virologists, epidemiologists, economists and international shipping experts have expanded their practice into urologic oncology now, too. Dunning Kruger at its finest.

I was just having a similar conversation with a friend after the Canadian election.

Fuck Trump.

Google tells me Joe Biden was born in 1942, and is therefore an octogenarian, which makes him “old.” I am now as good a reporter as Jake Tapper.

Trojans: "Now there are those that saw we shouldn't be accepting gifts of horses to Troy. And I would say, only a stupid person would say that. Why wouldn't I do that?”

I tell my kids all the time, history SHOULD make them uncomfortable — humans have done a lot of fucked up shit that we need to learn from to make the world better. Pretending it doesn’t exist doesn’t change the fact that it happened.

Anyone else seeing any racism in Trump mixing up the brown guy who wants to impeach him with the Black guy who would probably lick his ass if asked?

My mom keeps referring to somebody by name, and I’m, like, 85% sure she’s talking about their house painter, but at this point, I’ve missed my window to ask.

I feel like the fact that Mike Johnson looks like a penis should get more attention than it does. Seriously, imagine a penis with glasses. Tell me it isn’t a dead ringer for the speaker of the House.

I will never be a fast runner (and I’m OK with that), but I can now run six miles in the time it used to take me to run five miles, so that’s definitely a win.

I think the only real conclusion anyone can draw here is that JD Vance killed the Pope. I have as much evidence for this as the Trump administration has for Kilmar Abrego Garcia being a member of MS-13.

So heartened by the number of people who showed up to protest today in my formerly red, now purple suburb. I’m energized by spending time among likeminded, equally disgusted Americans.

This is what “do something” looks like — other dems, please take notes.

Free Andry Hernandez Romero. And, while we’re on the subject, we only know a few specifically, but every single person kidnapped by the U.S. government and trafficked to El Salvador has a name and story and deserves to be treated with dignity. Bring them ALL home.

Growing up as a Jewish person, I always learned about the Holocaust as a cautionary part of history. Stephen Miller, apparently, saw those same lessons as an instructional guide. Fuck him and fuck the Trump regime.

🤞🤞🤞

Disney owns Hulu and therefore The Handmaid’s Tale (TV show) — does that make June Osborne a Disney princess? (And Serena a Disney villain, obvs.)

I’ve never been more happy that I chose not to legally change my name when I got married (because fuck the patriarchy). Wouldn’t it be deliciously ironic if the GOP accidentally ended the practice of women giving up this part of their identity?

White women need to own that we are part of the problem. It’s not on Black women to continually swoop in to save us when we can’t get our own house in order.

Remember: When talking about how fucked up SCOTUS is, always refer to it as “the Roberts Court” — make him own the partisan shitbaggery destroying our democracy during his tenure as chief justice.

I have never loved a TikTok more than this.

Tonight, 8yo tried to explain to me who Jack Black is “because, mom, he’s Bowser and he’s Steve — and he’s on YouTube, so he’s very famous, but maybe not the kind of famous that you’d know about.”

Timeline cleanse.

A good day to, coincidentally, be wearing Levi’s.

Keep going, @booker.senate.gov! 🇺🇸

Cory Booker 👏👏👏 Somebody is finally doing something.

👊🇺🇸🔥

Can you imagine how much better of a place the U.S. would be if all those right-wing dude-bros had decided to worship John Steinbeck instead of Ayn Rand?

Lance Gooden reps TX and assaulted @repstansbury.bsky.social when he ripped a piece of paper out of her hands and threw it on live TV. You don't get to rip PROPERTY out of people's hands and throw it just because you're a hysterical snowflake and can't control yourself. CONSEQUENCES. NOW.

OK, but for real: Who has what dirt on Rubio that makes him go along with all the Trump admin bullshit?

I’m jealous of all the countries in the world that have sane leadership.
