If you are a liberal in deep blue territory, one thing you could try doing right now is figuring out how to replace your Democratic member of Congress next year. With very few exceptions, the typical safe seat Dem is not meeting the moment. Find someone who will and help them.

So few people writing for mainstream publications are fit to diagnose or even describe our current status and they prove it by even now consistently using the right’s framing in their reporting.

What these nihilistic vandals are doing to dismantle science & medicine—generations of expertise & public service & life improving benefits—is cultural revolution level national self harm. No foreign foe could inflict such brutal damage & senseless suffering on US so fast & effectively & unresisted.

Not the main point here, but why isn’t it first degree murder with a hate crime charge? I’m absolutely sickened

Yeah this is just early capitulation to fascism. We CAN control Trump’s behavior as far as policy is concerned and it’s a cop-out to say this. He is easy to influence through public opinion and other means bc he has no real ideology

I love how embracing segregationism is cool now that it's been rebranded as anti-wokeness

An FTC report (under chair Lina Khan, who Elon hates and who Trump will replace) finds United Health has been overcharging cancer patients an obscene amount and PBM’s have been pocketing extra billions.

No wonder they hate her.

He told on himself right there for sure 🙄

The most infuriating quality that most humans possess is not being able to imagine that someone who was kind or friendly to you could be awful to someone else. I’ve never found someone so mature as to not fall into this trap

Watching people who knew Neil Gaiman continuing to reckon with the news and struggling to reconcile it with the person they thought they knew, I keep coming back to this.

Between the California prison system's firefighter program and the Neil Gaiman stuff, I'm realizing people don't understand that consent under duress is not consent

There's this notion that only very poor folks rely on Medicaid — that's simply not true. Yes, Medicaid is the primary insurer of poor folks & millions rely on it

But there are also Medicaid waiver programs for, e.g. medically complex kids, that middle and upper class families rely on

Ok but they mostly hit red states and places like Appalachia have a long history of being ignored and underfunded when it comes to disaster relief.
It’s ok to acknowledge regional bias and it’s continuing history despite T’s nonsense

Noah Wyle in "The Pitt," an ER drama (groundbreaking) where Noah Wyle plays Matthew McConaughey circa 2012

It has been brought to my attention that Noah Wyle is still acting, and has somehow reverse-Substanced himself into Matthew McConaughey. If you see either one of them on the street, throw some weed or a pair of bongos to see how he reacts. This will help you identify them.

Problematic director list:
– Spielberg (abused dinosaurs)
– Aster (won’t return my emails about muppet midsommar)
– Villeneuve (French Canadian)
