Keeping Trump out of the White House isnā€™t the only thing that needs doing and it isnā€™t enough to solve all problems facing the country & world but if it isnā€™t done then all those problems get exponentially worse in ways I donā€™t even know how to express and it scares me when people pretend otherwise

If you're trying to win people over to your cause by vandalizing a library, or Stonehenge, or an oil painting, you are not remotely helping your cause. "It raises awareness!" Yes, awareness that you're a fucking idiot. Nothing good.

For the many thousands of lives lost, the many more maimed, and even more traumatised by Russia's brutal act of aggression against a sovereign neighbour, justice will never come.

But oh boy, must Russia be made to pay dearly for reparations.

How numb are we to the news? The ex-prez got convicted of paying off a porn star. The trial of the current prez's son featured him smoking crack with his dead brother's wife. And so many people are like, 'yawn, politics is so snoozy this year.'
