one of the worst fucking things in the world is the move to call sincerity and care "cringe"

fuck that shit. let's build a political community based on care for one another.

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states.

Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

Trump just used the shutdown to wipe out the special ed department. www.usatoday.com/story/news/e...

cry havoc and let slip the frogs of war

Pretty sure that when you have giant frogs everywhere, God is very disappointed in how you are treating immigrants.

May the United States be inscribed for a good year in the book of life.

Only an administration intent on committing war crimes in the present and future would stoop to calling Wounded Knee a "battle" rather than what it truly was: a massacre of over 250 Lakotas, mainly women, children, and the elderly. 1/

7 losses in a row. Woof. With this payroll?? C’mon man. It just shouldn’t happen. #Mets #LGM

Wait isn’t this the war Grandpa Don dodged?

9 runs doesn’t win the game. Absolutely brutal. #LGM #MetsSky #feelthepain

People might know that the House is too small but they don’t know *how* small it is compared to historical ratios. 350M and 435 reps is bonkers when it was 100M and 435 reps a century ago. (Would you believe me if I said that the reason we’re stuck here is racism and sexism?)

“Hey quick follow up for the History Respecter — what aspect of the Confederacy are you *most* proud of?

The treason against the United States? The defense of slavery? All the losing? I bet it’s the losing.”

As I detailed in WHITE FLIGHT, segregationists in Atlanta absolutely loved public services -- buses and trolleys, parks and pools, golf courses and tennis courts, etc. -- right until they were forced to desegregate and "stolen" from them. They abandoned them and built up private alternatives.

What a win!! #LGM #MetsSky

Jesse Waters complaining about Superman being "superwoke" because of "pro immigrant themes"

HE'S A LITERAL ALIEN, JESSE

Are We About to Have Labor Camps in the United States of America? If you think that’s far-fetched, then you really haven’t been paying attention to what the Trump administration and Republicans in Congress have been up to lately.

An astonishing figure in this piece:

Last year, the U.S. budgeted $12.8B for new affordable housing.

This country is now poised to spend $45B on immigrant detention centers.

That's nearly *four times* as much on cages as on homes—in the middle of a devastating housing and homelessness crisis.

In a mere matter of days, we can house migrants, but not our homeless. Because being cruel is always the motivation. #AlligatorAuschwitz

Trump Fragrances:

- "Smells Like Fascism"

The GOP bill would take healthcare from 17 million people. Big numbers can be hard to understand - 17 million is the same as the *entire* population of:

Wyoming
Vermont
Alaska
North Dakota
South Dakota
Delaware
Rhode Island
Montana
Maine
New Hampshire
Hawaii
West Virginia
Idaho
Nebraska

weird how we see these guys find their spines when they aren’t running again — proving they’ve always been more concerned with keeping their jobs than DOING their jobs

this court says that allowing EPA to regulate carbon emissions is a "major question" that demands congressional debate. but allowing the president to, with a flick of the wrist, end a straightforward constitutional right is something that must be allowed to stand?

As Bad Religion put it so well years ago, “Let them eat war. That’s how to ration the poor.”
