Christian, if You're Celebrating Deportations, You Shouldn't Be Celebrating Christmas Christian,

Christian, if you aren't capable of manufacturing the slightest bit of compassion for the hurting and the hungry and the terrified and the desperate right nowβ€”what on earth are you singing for?

Just what exactly are you celebrating this Christmas?

Did you know that by substituting your morning coffee with green tea, you can eliminate up to 93% of what little joy you have left?

T’s unfathomable and absolutely disgusting nomination for Secretary of Education solidly demonstrates the scorn he holds for our profession, those who serve it, and those students who are attempting to learn in our nation’s schools. It mocks my 45 years (and still counting) as a teacher.

When all is said and done we’re going to realize just how fucking close this election really was.

This is no landslide.

MAGA is screaming about Democratic election interference because Derek Tran just took the lead over Michelle Steel.

Why would Democrats try to just interfere with one House race?

Doesn’t make any sense.

This place feels like moving into a new home and having to use a bowl to drink your first coffee because you haven’t found the mugs yet

But you love it and the mugs are around somewhere

The American public and the Senate Judiciary Committee deserve to see the Matt Gaetz report.

Repost if you agree.

Trump Voters, You Owe Our Children an Apology If you voted for Donald Trump again, you owe my children an apology.

You owe an apology to every child who has to spend their formative years in an America defined by:
fear of the other,
an epidemic of cruelty,
a poverty of decency,
a deadly allergy to facts,
a Christianity of malice,
a defiant resistance to diversity.

β€œYesterday I visited my son's school and I saw a bright colored bench in the yard. I asked if it was new.

He said to me, β€²β€²no, that's the β€˜friend’s bench.’ When someone is down, they'll sit there so others find them."

To me, that’s how finding Bluesky feels.

Stephen King, master of the horror novel, just quit Twitter because it'd become too "dark."

That's how horrifying Twitter is right now.

There may never be a more perfect expression of this fact.

Just to be clear: the incoming Trump administration is going to war against their own Republican senate majority and the constitution's advice and consent provision so they can make a man investigated for ***sex trafficking a minor*** into the most powerful law enforcement officer in the country.

Exclusive: Woman told House Ethics panel she witnessed Gaetz having sex with minor, lawyer says An attorney tells ABC News that one of his clients told the House Ethics Committee that she witnessed then-Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz having sex with a minor.

The Bible-thumping Speaker of the House is working overtime to cover up credible allegations that Trump’s unqualified AG nominee committed sexual misconduct. We’re already plumbing new depths of depravity.

I am seeing more and more opinions bubbling up about how throwing trans people to the wolves would be a winning strategy for Democrats, and I just want to quickly say: Fuck off with that absolute dog shit.
