A coworker took this from her apartment. I haven't seen a crowd this size before. Maybe the first Women's March? But it was much much warmer that day. ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA!

I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland.

Let me walk you through it. It doesn't turn out well for us.

This seems to be the most popular version of what's going to happen regarding the release of the files after the House votes.

MAGA Republicans will do whatever it takes to protect their twisted orange overlord.

Americans deserve to know who’s in the TRUMP-EPSTEIN files, but will we find out?

I had a dream last night that had Ann Jillian in it. I totally get how GenX seeps into the subconscious. I haven't thought of her in decades. Kinda scary, actually.

The conversation between Klein and Coates showed me that a lot of people who screech about “infighting” on the left aren’t aware of the fact that marginalized people have been forced to learn how to regulate their emotions during conflict, and so, are better able to hear what’s actually being said.

He was ALWAYS trash. He was a 39 yr old man dating a 17 yr old still in high school--publicly, with no apologies. It should have ended his career there.
