I cannot wait until this weekend is over. I am so sick of the explosions.

I’m just looking forward to being able to text things about like birthday gifts for the kids. I’m not anticipating adult content.

My wife’s phone has been synced to the kids’ iPad for the last decade. Never once has such a photo been sent.

I’m less positively inclined towards the teenager wearing the t-shirt reading “Roses are red, Kamala’s not black, Joe’s got dementia, and Hunter’s on crack.”

On the other hand, am I proud of my ~16 yo son for instantly recognizing the awesomeness of the live band playing “Fortunate Son”? Yes. Yes I am.

Listening to seven year olds do karaoke and butchering Taylor Swift songs was a panacea of musical perfection compared with the preteen boys doing their version of jingoistic masturbation known as “Proud to Be An American.” Yes, I’m at a 4th of July event. No, I’m not filled with patriotic spirit.

Fucking unbelievable that the big publications are running with this as the lead story after the Supreme Court just promised to install a convicted felon rapist insurrectionist as Emperor for Life.

A lot of times, hospitals going slowly is a good sign because they’re not worried. Hopefully that’s true here?

You know that the real racists are the ones who point out the racism, right? All racism ended when Martin Luther King Jr. gave his “I Have A Dream” speech and then lived happily ever after and then it was only those darned liberals who kept bringing it up.

I would love to see those numbers here, wouldn't you? Instead of getting alerts that Dipshit is polling 6 points ahead of Biden, how about "Forecasts show that Dems will win 327 seats in the House in November"?

Two main reasons: 1) they’ve rigged the system via gerrymandering and disenfranchisement and all of that to give themselves a massive systemic advantage in many places. 2) We have a lot of fucking idiots who would vote for the GOP on a “we’ll kill you, but we’ll kill the other guy first” platform.

I see these kind of polls and I compare them to the polls in the US where we’re desperately hoping to not lose the Presidency and the Senate and maybe squeak the House back and I dream of a day where the GOP gets obliterated in an election. But I can’t see it happening.

He had all the conviction and leadership that infinite privilege and an utter inability to fail provides. Inspiring, really. These aren’t the guys “born on 3rd base thinking they hit a triple,” they’re the guys born in the owner’s box thinking they owned the galaxy.

these things. We're stronger than you fuckers because of the way we govern, and if you don't like it, well, sucks to be you. And you know what? The results back it up. How about a Democratic Party full of people who do that?

I'm talking about being willing to just stand up and say "Fuck yeah, I believe in this, and I'm going to keep saying I believe in it and govern that way." I don't know the right approach to countering Project 20fascism25, but part of it is not being afraid, ffs. We're not weak because we believe

One of the things I've loved about the way Pritzker has governed in Illinois is that he's been unabashedly liberal. His social media feeds are full of just blatant statements about LGBTQ+ rights, unions, abortion access, voting rights. I'm not talking about who should be president or not -

Conservatives are the people who are pissed that Scrooge turned into a woke pussy after the ghosts visited. Clarence Thomas would have ruled that the Emancipation Proclamation was executive overreach.

That’s a them problem. That they can’t see your value? That they are that cruel? That’s their problem. It’s not about you. I know rejection from the people who are supposed to love you absolutely is awful and soul-destroying. But it’s not because you’re not worthy of love.

It is. Depression lies. That’s what it does. It tells you that you have no value and you’re a bad person when you totally do and that you’re a person worthy of being here. I have pushed my way through that shit for years and can see the lies. It lies.
