I get what people are going for with the "Draft Barron" stuff but I think it would make the point better if it was someone Trump knows personally

Banning the words β€œfreedom” and β€œinnovation” would improve the clarity of our ruling class’ statements.

β€œGoing to war is never free.” - there, fixed it

It must be nice to be a sociopath, because all the new products are for you. The smart glasses will give you that woman’s address, the betting apps will finally let you make bank on war crimes.

It’s been terrifying to have almost every year in the past 20 years be a lesson in how many people with power make decisions about who lives and dies with little thought or care or even a clear idea as to why they’re doing anything, and it’s terrifying that it seems to be getting worse

If someone says they’re not political, I’ll assume they’re happy with the current administration.

This tariff ruling is causing considerable confusion.
But one thing is clear. 100% of any tariff refunds will be paid to corporations that passed on increased costs to consumers. We paid the tariffs. They will get the refund. Prices won't come back down. The people will get screwed yet again.

If iron supplements don’t work (some people can’t absorb iron) iron infusions are a lifesaver. I thought I was lazy for three years and then needed a blood transfusion. Rest when you’re tired and see a hematologist if you can!

my opinion about whether democrats should aggressively gerrymander every possible house seat is the same as my opinion about taking a knife away from a guy who has spent the last thirty years stabbing people to death with it

Broadly speaking: reality tv is bad for democracy, influencers are bad for democracy, streamers are bad for democracy, YouTubers are bad for democracy.

Exceptions to all categories exist, but it’s astonishing how absolutely clogged our political and media ecosystems are with low-info narcissists

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Let's be done with the "if there even *IS* an election" gotcha. We know. The thought has occurred to all of us. It's unhelpful. I'm going to continue behaving as if I'm not powerlessβ€”as if totalitarianism isn't inevitable. Because it's not, and I'm not.

I’m tired of the ignorance of voters saying β€œidk what the big deal is about requiring id to voteβ€πŸ€¦πŸ½β€β™€οΈ ppl take a civics class & understand the 24th Amendment makes poll taxes ILLEGAL! Ah yes that word illegal. You can’t make ppl PAY for a document to vote… it violates the constitution, so no SAVE Act!

It doesn't explain his relationship to the rest of the human race but a big part of RFK Jr.'s broader damage is clearly trying to find out if he can die. I guess if I had lived a life like his and was somehow still around drinking out of puddles at 72 I'd have some questions on that as well.

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

...one third are murdered by cops. In other words, Americans are killed by their own government EVERY SINGLE DAY, and that has been true for decades. Y'all just never bothered to care when it was mostly black people, Hispanic people, American Indians, and those the government brands "criminals".

I think it's rather sad that people are describing the ICE murders as "people are being killed by their own government", as though that were somehow unusual.

The majority of murders are committed by people known to the victims (relatives, neighbors, etc), but of the people killed by strangers...
