My first greyhound was a brindle named Badger. Coincidentally, he was also big, very daft, and an absolute sweetheart! Hope your Badger brings you lots of joy. And boops to Astra too!

-violating someone’s first amendment rights is bad
Not hearing enough noise about Mahmoud Khalil from folks who like to quote the "first they came for" poem. Y'all get that the point is that they came for controversial, easily othered groups first, right? Now, it's trans people, immigrants, and student activists. Your turn will come. Fight now.

The email address for federal workers to inform on their colleagues is DEIAtruth@opm.gov.
Would be a real shame if folks flooded that inbox, rendering it useless.
Thou shalt accept that DEI didn't hold your career back -- you're just mid, bro.

It’s not a Russian spy ring. It’s a Justice Department graphic showing Venmo payments to girls by Gaetz and Greenberg.

This is nothing. Leak the report. Americans deserve to see it.
It’s really something to watch the Party whose supporters poop on the floor in the Capitol and wipe their feces on the wall tell us which bathrooms to use.

All of this.

You see, I know a bit of what it’s like to be politically scapegoated. When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, suddenly anyone in America who had any amount of Japanese ancestry became suspect. Politicians preyed upon ignorance and fear. /1
