Hey. I'm a journalist in Atlanta. I write for The Guardian and Rolling Stone.

If you work for the federal government, and want to connect in person to discuss the illegal and unconstitutional activities you are seeing inside your agency, send me a note via Signal.

They can't kill us all.

We could have had our first Black woman president being sworn in by the first Black woman Supreme Court Justice on Martin Luther King Jr’s birthday. We really fucked this up big time, America.

A cartoon by Mike Luckovich shows a large blue gulf labeled "Gulf of America," separating two masses of densely packed dots representing people. A yellow banner on the left side reads "Informed Voters," while a yellow banner on the right side reads "Uninformed Voters." The image humorously depicts a divide between informed and uninformed voters.

Perfectly depicted.

No one is coming to save us. We’ve got to be there for each other.

The AfD/Musk-supporting terrorist who attacked the German Christmas market planned his atrocity in full view on TwitterX over the course of a year. He was reported multiple times, but TwitterX did nothing to take him down or report him to authorities.

It’s not ‘liberals’ calling Musk a liar and a racist. It’s his own child.

For the record.

If you voted for a billionaire you’re not on the side of the working class you dumb fuck.

Happy Birthday!

PLEASE REMEMBER:

trump's win percentage is shaping up to be the third SMALLEST in history.

He does NOT have a mandate, no matter what he says.

I made the mistake of rereading this series recently. So good but, timing.
