straight-up jury nullification. this guy did it, confessed to it, and the jury instructions explicitly said that if he did it intentionally, it was assault.

I'm 100% on board with young women becoming a powerful, influential demographic, and if Newsmux finds that terrifying, well that's just gravy.

In his own words to US generals, Trump said β€œthat’s a war too”. He can argue what he likes in court, but he’s told commanders: this is a war on US cities. The facts don’t even need to speak for themselves; POTUS owns this characterization!

He’s levying war on the United States. It’s treason.

Every time you are doing one of those mandatory HR trainings and thinking to yourself "OMG, why am I wasting my time? No one is this clueless," remember that yes, yes, they are.

Wish I had time to call them about the spoiled toddler who migrated from Florida to the White House. Repeatedly. So they didn't have time for other calls.

If employers want to reduce head count so bad, they should be pushing for UBI and universal health care. People would flee their BS jobs in droves.

you can have so much cheap energy that the sensible thing is to give some of it away for free, or you can expensively mine the planet for finite resources and pretend the future will never come to america

β€œI’m in the β€˜Hitler sucks’ wing of the Republican Party,” Senator Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina, said over the weekend at the R.J.C. event. β€œHere’s what I do know: You can sit in a basement with weird people and say weird things. It’s a free country.”

"who radicalized you"

Nothing radicalized me, I was born with basic empathy. The world decided that was radical.

People who work for ICE should be required, when they move into a new neighborhood, to go door to door telling their neighbors what they do for a living.

It’s almost like if people tell you that to win you have to turn your back on poor people, or Muslims, or trans people, or immigrants, you can just say, β€œno, that’s immoral, we’re not doing that,” and keep doing good old fashioned organizing and campaigning and things will be ok

Clearest sign ever Chuck shouldn't do it. If Trump wants you to do something and is melting down about it, you do the literal opposite because everything he wants is about him and only him. The Art of the Deal is getting involved with a sucker who responds to bullying.

Hypothesis: at least one juror was laughing too hard to say "not guilty". They need overnight to get it out of their system.

I have humorously added the DNC logo to Calvin's Mom and the Zohran for NYC logo to Calvin.

Not to replace substance with message but I genuinely do not think that the GOP establishment is prepared, nor capable, of regulating itself in a world where all high profile democrats are directly staring into a camera and telling Trump to go fuck himself.
