Cav(R), Gentleman Rogue

If a Democrat anywhere says something even marginally controversial, Republicans solidify to categorize it as the position of the Democratic Party as a whole, publicize it, and so on.

I sincerely have no idea why Democrats don't do the same about bigotry and religious intolerance by Republicans

he is a pedophile who has dementia. none of this should be even slightly surprising and it's depressing that it is

When Hegseth tries to do the Mattis quote thing it just sounds like "I don't shit the bed, the bed shits me."

I'm a broken record on this but folks haven't realized how difficult things will be after this regime is over given the tentacles it is leaving behind. Even the most superficial reading of theories of institutional change will tell you this is a path we don't want to depend on.

It is difficult even for Americans who live east of the Mississippi to comprehend the vast emptiness of the western interior.

How the fuck you gonna tell me dinosaur fossils are “sustainably sourced?” You got the John Hammond plug and a couple hundred million years?

USAID destroyed, immigrants disappeared, visas halted, American cities invaded, war with Iran, a rubber stamp on all Republican legislation to include anti-LGBTQ and anti-democracy efforts. We could’ve avoided this shit with Harris, terribly imperfect as she is.

I’m very much against the genocide Israel is perpetrating against the Palestinian people.

Even IF someone could prove to me nothing would change in Gaza between Harris and Trump, there are still millions more suffering and dying because of Trump’s policies. We shouldn’t ignore that. I can’t.

“I wouldn’t vote for Newsom to avoid having Vance” is the same as “I won’t vote for Harris to avoid having Trump” and it’s lunacy. It’s the position of someone who knows THEY will probably survive the outcome, even though others very well might not. I can’t countenance that.

If you tell me you don’t want to see Newsom on the 2028 ballot, I’ll agree with you totally. We can and should do better.

If you try to sell me on sitting out a Newsom v Vance or Newsom v Hegseth or Newsom v Miller or Newsom v Hawley race because you think they’re the same? Absolutely not.

The Republican Party:

“I shall not grow resigned. With all my silence, I shall protest to the very end. There is no reason to say: “It had to be.” It is my revolt which is right, and I must follow this joy which is like a pilgrim on earth, follow it step by step.”

— Albert Camus, Notebooks, 1935-1942

Charlotte Clymer:"I feel like it should be bigger news that Trump is now openly considering a military draft. Young men haven't been called up for a draft since 1972. Not during the Gulf War. Not during Iraq or Afghanistan. He received five draft deferments but is now open to drafting your kids."

MY SOURCE IS THAT I MADE IT THE FUCK UP

*deep sigh*

I am here to answer the call

Lindsey’s diplomacy working wonders in UAE.

Trump just put in charge of Iran a guy considered to be a hardliner *before* we killed his father, mother, and wife. We helped cement his rule by blowing up a girls elementary school, scorching their skies, and cutting off their water. We should expect retaliation—and blame Republicans for it.

My last therapy appointment was two weeks ago today, and I just got word that my appointment today had to be canceled. Which, you know… *gestures vaguely at the state of the world* Pretty suboptimal.

Oh, your two favorite characters are the two most perfect examples of positive masculinity ever depicted in any form of media?

Hell yeah, bud.

If an official commits an impeachable offense and nobody acts to impeach, it is no longer an impeachable offense.

People who oppose impeachment as “pointless” because it seems unlikely to result in removal do not understand this very simple point and seem unwilling to even try to understand it.

This’ll pan out beautifully, I’m sure

Few things make you feel better about your performance as a dad than your 8yo daughter telling you her two favorite LotR characters are Sam and Aragorn.

It's been 65 days since Donald Trump invaded a sovereign state, abducted its leader, and declared the US will "run" the state indefinitely

It's been 9 days since Trump launched a war (his word) against Iran without congressional approval

No House member has filed articles of impeachment for either

I’ve never seen a more perfect ratio.

"Is America bringing back the draft?!?!" discourse is the dumbest fucking shit, I'm not taking any questions, hit send.

I remember as an OG Harry Potter hater and certified MFA Guy Shithead in the early 2000s hearing "as long as people are reading something it's a good thing" and thinking "hm not sure that's true." Anyway the phone made us all illiterate anyway. Didn't see that coming.

One of my favorite lessons from Jewish tradition is the idea that every life is a universe.

I can't imagine a state which claims to operate on behalf of the Jewish people thinking it's legitimate to kill dozens of innocent people just to find the remains of others. A shanda beyond comprehension.

Donald Trump made our National Guard patrol American streets.

Now some are saying they’re demoralized, ashamed, and want to quit the military.

But the Trump administration conveniently has no idea.

Was showering with @outnmbrdbyboys.bsky.social when a stinkbug fell from somewhere. No choice but to use the high-pressure handheld shower head that she insisted we buy for some reason to wash it down the drain. Whole shower smelled bad, had to wash ourselves twice.
