Nothing is stopping every single Democratic elected official and apparatchik from taking the airwaves every single day to articulately and decisively repeat a set of cogent talking points about Trump (ie 45). Nothing. Dem PACs could be slamming him with ads now. Stop whining and do that.

I've seen this dipshit's TikToks and if anyone deserves a Richard Spencer moment, it's this waste of air.

I'm writing a piece about Rashida Tlaib and the censure against her last November, and I remembered that Josh Gottheimer said that his Muslim colleagues "should feel guilty" for Hamas' offensive into Israel last October and he never received any reprimand.

Not arguing with the spirit of the request but it’s just really funny that we’ve been begging people to unsubscribe from the NYT forever for wave after wave of anti-trans articles, cheerleading the genocide of Palestinians etc, but the “don’t vote” opinion article was the dealbreaker

Awww not only did Carla Denyer get a descent result for the Green Party in central Bristol, more importantly Kellie-Jay Keen got less than 200 votes in total and so has lost their deposit.

Not the most terrifying thing but perhaps the most infuriating: every single thing we said about these fascist Republican fucks has been proved out and all the people who assured us that what is happening would never happen smoothly pivoted to yes it's happening but it will be fine.

"The Bernie Bros and K-Hive appear to be forming an alliance," I say at the 4th of July cookout. An anvil falls out of the sky directly onto my person, killing me instantly. God appears through the clouds. "I did that," he says. Family and friends applaud politely.

College kids trying to stop innocent people from dying as their college president puts snipers on the roof to watch over non-violent protests, a reporter getting sued as Maureen Dowd plops out another editorial comparing Bill Maher to James Dean. Just a ruling class that does not give a shit.

We arrived at our current location for the week and a storm had just blown out the internet. My daughter (17) was calm but near her breaking point. But then we had a lengthy conversation about bidet techniques with her gramma and laughed and laughed, not a smartphone in sight.

"There are elected officials holding flamethrowers right now, burning cardboard boxes that are meant to indicate people. There are queer refugees from states in our union, because those states have fascist governments. There is talk of elimination." There is no common ground to be had.
