Bad Bunny at the Grammys ❤️

Unreal. He’s shutting down the Kennedy Center, after his flunkies caused mass defections of artists?

Everything the man touches turns to ash. Our cultural heritage; destroyed. Our national treasures; plundered.

Buttigieg on Fox News: "When you see an American woman opening the door to her home and on her doorstep finds half a dozen federal agents in tactical gear that is more tricked out than what I would take outside the wire in Afghanistan -- I think most people get that that is wrong."

This is a Möbius strip of WTF. My brain just locked out.

On the other hand, the more outrageous the better. Let’s make something new with the broken pieces.

A different kind of April fools

*SUPREME COURT SETS BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP ARGUMENTS FOR APRIL 1

My daughter was too as a kid — she’d call for it constantly from her car seat. Unnerving since it was my college heartbreak song. 🙃

Love.

The federal government is executing American citizens in the middle of the street for exercising their constitutional right to freedom of speech.

This is tyranny. No free people can accept this kind of government. We need to bring an end to the Trump regime.

My Trip to Texas Confirmed We Can’t Fund this Version of ICE The young father was shaking as he held his fidgety two-year-old daughter who impatiently sucked on a lollipop.

I wrote a short piece on my trip to Texas and how it confirmed for me why we can’t fund this version of ICE.

The Department of Homeland Security is lawless. We need to demand reforms.

I wish I could remember who said they wish they had cultural power but they're trying to use political power in its place. They can remove the signs. They cannot remove all the histories, primary documents, and collective knowledge of the past, and their attacks underscore why these things matter.

Big shout out and solidarity fist bump to our friends in the Twin Cities striking today, and everyone that's with them.

Stay safe, stay warm, and stay loud.

I know I don't have a ton of media followers, but I'll put this out there anyway: if you need someone to comment/offer context on the removal of the slavery exhibit at the President's House site in Philly, get in touch. I just finished an entire book on Americans' fight over Washington and slavery.

Ad on the wall of subway that says: rejection is hot

Important news for us writers from across the NYC subway tracks:

Love this, Maureen!

Xbox Xbox Xbox Xbox Xbox sounds cool and rhymes with a lot. Sex rocks for one. That professor should be in jail.

paradoxically, the minute you accept a job as a pundit, you become unqualified for it. this is because punditry belongs in dive bars and union meetings and the like. the only good pundit is some mouthy fuck with nothing to lose

This is an excellent analogy, because my recollection from grade school is that the pen on the right looks fun and exciting, and then you play with it for a few minutes and realize it's not actually useful for anything and in fact makes some tasks more cumbersome, and never think about it again.

Yet again-

Well heck, if it’s just ice and you don’t believe in global warming then you’re threatening the world order for a melting ice cube? Did I get that right?

Hi World. This man is a raging ignoramus. May his memory be a black mark on American History. Special to Denmark—we know that when the Nazis came for the Jewish people in your country they were hidden overnight. Thank you for your example and for The Little Mermaid and for Legos. Peace forever.

4th estate found dead in a ditch

The choice is impeachment and removal or calamity for the United States. I don't see how anybody watching Trump's speech in Davos can draw any other conclusion. He's a senile madman.

I asked ChatGPT what will I be?
Will I be pretty? Will I be rich?
Here's what it said to me:

Que sera, sera
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que sera, sera
STICK YOUR HAND IN THE GARBAGE DISPOSAL

Perhaps Trump going full eugenics for a second straight day will cause the media to realize they need to make it a headline.

I wonder: what do white men have to do* to be unqualified for positions of power in the US? What are the limits? Are there any?

*It seems like r*pe, lies, cheating, stealing, slander, abuse, violence, stupidity, unpreparedness, mental degradation, misogyny, racism, homophobia, ableism are all ok.
