The kids are alright

In case you have forgotten who Andy Kim is, he’s the rep who came into the Capitol building after Trump’s J6 goons had trashed it, got down in his hands and knees, and cleaned it up. And ICE have gassed him. They have peppersprayed the true patriot who thinks American ideals are worth defending.

The matter-of-fact way she asks what investors should do if Trump destroys Iran. Absolutely wild. "Let's talk about tonight, this deadline that President Trump has set 8 p.m., has threatened to destroy a civilization. How does an investor process that? Is it a bigger upside risk or downside risk?"

IMPEACH, REMOVE, ARREST. 25TH AMENDMENT. AT THIS POINT THE GENERALS ARE 100% JUSTIFIED IN GRABBING THE WHEEL. END THIS.

BREAKING: Trump caves and agrees to a two week ceasefire. Iran launches missiles toward Israel minutes after. More than 70 lawmakers call for Trump’s removal. Articles of impeachment filed against Trump. I have the latest: open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

Claude is down :/ so I’m just running my sink

fuck yeah, Hyundai! finish us off!

After we win back the House and Senate, impeach him and pass the Disgraced Presidents Act. Let him pay for his own security with his crypto money. He should have been in prison since January 6.

I just chipped in to keep the lights on at Electric Literature and you can, too, if you have some extra. They put in good work and are worth supporting!

I’m finally getting to work on my game!!

I feel like there would have been a day when the users of a website would just....switch...to a different website if they found out the owners were nazis... Like, we all used myspace, and then we switched to facebook. Did they really make the switching cost _that_ uncomfortable? Why don't I feel it?

Catchy opening! But the comma splice is unwieldy. Why dont you try "It was not just the best of times. It was also the worst of times."

I can listen to this on a loop all day long, lol. 🤣🤣

Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.

On Saturday, Trump told us the attack on an elementary school in Iran that killed 175 people – mostly children – “was done by Iran.” Now the U.S. military admits it was a U.S. strike. If they are lying about something as obvious as this, what else are they lying about?
