Never believe the fuckers who say "why bother, they already won"

today, both Americas come together

This sounds delightful. Honestly sitting by a good outdoor heater or bonfire when its COLD and SNOWY or misty-rainy and having snacks and hot food and smoking things is a true pleasure

People will die, and are currently dying, because RFK was granted one of the most powerful megaphones in the country. Two people who could have thrown barriers in front of his climb decided not to; there's a sex scandal here but it is not the biggest scandal.

For me it's the way the press pool just quietly went along with it because he's the president

The entire point of this country is that we don't have to let some guy do whatever he wants just because of his title. We don't have to respect him or go along with him just because he holds an office

it is frankly a *scathing* indictment of the White House press corps

New York Times headline from December 13,2000: "Bush Prevails: By Single Vote, Justices End Recount, Blocking Gore After 5-Week Struggle"

25 years ago today: the most consequential presidential election of my lifetime. 36 days later, it was effectively decided by the Supreme Court. Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, who voted with the majority, would later she regretted that the court accepted the case.

Rosalind Franklin died at 37 of ovarian cancer attributed to radiation exposure from the methods she & her assistant used to photograph a cross-section of the DNA double helix.

Meanwhile, Watson won a Nobel off that work & survived to the ripe old age of 97 by simply: stealing those notes!

thomas jefferson wrote some vehement denunciations of people like thomas jefferson

you shouldn’t talk to a journalist about how people in need of abortions access them when abortions are outlawed, and this is no different.

shutting the fuck up is free.

Sinatra’s Law

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

The billionaires can buy the newspapers and buy social media and buy attack ads, but they can't buy their way out of how much we fucking hate all of them.

i wish every useless centrist democrat who's been shitting their pants in public about this a very Cry All Night and Retire In The Morning

Dick Cheney died this morning and tonight Zohran Kwame Mamdani was elected mayor of New York City. What a day.

this is a reminder that we dont have to settle for newsom in 2028

I feel like this is an important aspect to emphasize, loudly, to everyone who endorsed Cuomo. they chose to side with a known sexual predator for personal gain and frankly that should be disqualifying for public office. you knew who he was and decided the women he hurt were acceptable losses

mamdani is human. he'll fuck up and fail, especially with a hostile press and the giant mess that is nyc's politics. but today is a great day for the brave women who told what cuomo did, and for those of us who care that it should matter. that power shouldn't go to those who hurt the poweless.

"Bury him face down." This barn burner of an obit might feel hyperbolic to people who entered the world in the wake of 9/11; it's not. Cheney was one of the architects of today's American Christian conservatism. He was directly responsible for millions of deaths. Salt the earth where he's buried.

ADHD is just one continuous parade of doing your best to keep up with everything and every week you learn you've forgotten to do something crucial

The best thing you can do for your writing is to take good care of yourself. The work comes easier, faster, and better when you've got full bars.

Corollary: The best thing we can do to get more amazing art from our faves is to take good care of the artists.

“No Kings” is great , but we really don't get a functioning democracy back until we internalize, bone deep, the instinctive response to this and every other statement like it: “I don’t care what that rich guy thinks.”

Make it your morning affirmation. Say it ten times at the top of every hour.
