Itโ€™s a strange situation when weโ€™ve established the POTUS is a criminal, weโ€™re just trying to find a crime his party wouldnโ€™t be okay with.

Remember when we all agreed that pedophiles were bad?

Good times.

An oft-overlooked part of the scientific method: โ€œHe who tells loudest, is right.โ€

Thatโ€™s just science.

I want to uplift the women who were girls who were raped by Epstein & Maxwell & Trump & ex-Prince Andrew & abandoned by everyone who's been scrambling lately to say that they didn't know of course they didn't know but they did know & some of them knew because they'd done it too.

Earnest post: there is increasingly direct evidence that Trump participated in child sex trafficking or at least knew about it.

He should resign, be impeached and removed from office, and prosecuted.

Even if you donโ€™t think that WILL happen itโ€™s important to say publicly that it SHOULD happen.

Growing up, my parents taught me the importance of endorsements:

โ€œIf Tim Eyman is for it, vote against it. And vice versa.โ€

The Seattle Times is a great barometer in much the same way.

obviously this is bad, but itโ€™s long been true of other countries we praise to the skies for their healthcare and a lot of progressive Americans donโ€™t want to acknowledge that as a huge vector of oppression. there are a lot of places I couldnโ€™t emigrate to even if I wanted bc they have BMI limits

You are incapable of meeting this moment. And the fact that you are unwilling to step aside for someone else who might be makes you guilty of the same โ€œme, me, meโ€ political priorities as Trump.

Selfish. Short-sighted. Ego-before-country.

Resign.

8 Democrats capitulated, in exchange for NOTHING! Youโ€™d think we had just LOST the election on Tuesday, rather than winning a landslide! Spineless cowards!

Here they are:

Durbin

Kaine
King

Last night, due to conflicting schedules, was our first Bonfire Night without any kids.

And we went through just as many sparklers. Turns out, the grownups are just as sparkler-happy as kidsโ€ฆ it was just the first time we didnโ€™t restrain ourselves/ share. ๐Ÿ˜

Iโ€™m sorry. If it helps, Iโ€™ll try to will my hot flashes your wayโ€” itโ€™s like cooking from the inside, so theyโ€™ve gotta cancel each other out! Thatโ€™s just science.

Both ICE and CBP have acted with such brutality and cruelty that they are WELL PAST receiving โ€œthe benefit of a doubtโ€ so letโ€™s say it:

They are kidnappers gleefully engaging in child abuse.

And one of them hit that baby.

Every American needs to know what is being done in the name of our safety and prosperity. I don't personally feel safer or more prosperous by torturing people, but Stephen Miller does.

People: donโ€™t lock your knees!

The longer you stand, the more bored or tired you are, the more likely you are to lock your knees, and youโ€™ll pass out.

We had to learn this in Girlsโ€™ Choirโ€ฆ falling on risers (or off them, as the case may be) is no joke.
