I feel like unless you’ve actually interacted with the uber wealthy you can’t possibly understand the casual sadism that oozes out of them. Unflinching reflexive cruelty because they don’t have to be bothered with thinking through the implications and completely insulated from consequence.

I’ve read probably every piece of reporting that there is on Peter Thiel’s Anti-Christ lectures and all I’ve come away with is that the man is severely mentally ill and that the tech billionaire class particularly seems to be operating under some kind of money induced paranoia verging on psychosis.

We don't get Trump without Cheney. Trump is an enormous consequence of Cheney's breathtaking, unchecked corruption and expansion of executive powers. Cheney opposed Trump, but he also's more responsible for our current moment than probably any other person.

Caroline Levitt holding up pictures of construction of the White House to justify the demolition of the East Wing is maddening not only because they are fundamentally different but every example came from prior to 1951, 10 years before the WH Preservation Law was passed. Those things were legal.

Someone mistakenly added an S to my mother’s last name on my birth certificate and it has been the bane of my existence to correct. One letter resulting in 10 months of leg work and I still don’t have accurate documentation let alone dual citizenship. Please read your documents closely.

As someone who has been trying to secure dual citizenship for 10 months, I beg of you to go over all of your identity paperwork to make sure they do not have errors and everything matches. Part of the immigrant experience is having paperwork riddled with errors that are time consuming to correct.

I think we need more symbolic protest. They’re doing this to secure a white future and we should show them white women and white children 14-19 in masse who do not want this. They’re producing propaganda and so can we.

Old Niketalk had everyone changing their avatars to photoshopped pictures of mods crying and that did more to keep shit in check than anything else

Between this, the epstein list, obsession with trans kids playing sports, & neverending conspiracy theories about what's going on in schoolsin general, you realize that the primary concern of the Republican party and its supporters is their deep desire to abuse children

Stephen Miller looks like he licks his own eyeballs. What is he even talking about?

Something truly deranged about people who think that somehow telling Democrats to do better is like a capital crime. Can’t imagine thinking that we should just shut up and accept Chuck Schumer as like the best we can do.

I voted for Kamala. Stop making up narratives about people.

It’s always two dumb bitches telling each other exactly.

They chose to confirm many lower positions at once which could have been slow walked. They voted to honor a hate monger. Didn’t need to do that. I still voted for that lady for the funny laugh. Get whatever caricature you’ve built up of people who think democrats are complicit out of your head

And he slow walked and obstructed healthcare and banking reform in the minority. AND?

Love that. I’ve adopted being a rock in Schumer, Gillibrand, and Jeffries’ shoes and believe they should step down but alas. Hopefully whatever happens with the shutdown fight we can galvanize around those three individuals are not fit for the present moment.

Great thanks. So helpful Indivisible.

And you think his ability to delay healthcare reform and banking reform as minority leader was just a nothing burger…

I think it’s hilarious that people seem to think that the filibuster is some like magic restraint on Trump acting like a despot. He’s already doing that Marsha.

I in fact do know how all of that works. Collaborating in a way that accomplishes the goals the admin want to execute anyway is a distinction without difference. He’s already claimed the dictatorial powers. He’s already ruling by fiat. You’re holding onto the filibuster? Ok sure. 👍

Do you see them holding confirmed officials accountable? Add that to the list. I’m well aware of the temporary appointments and don’t ever call me hon. You and I are not in community and never will be.

I know you felt like you ate so bad that you needed to say it twice but they could not fund the government, not confirm appointments of any kind, and generally move away from empty platitudes for bipartisanship with avowed facists. They could not vote to honor a hate mongerer. There are things to do

And yet in this tweet is not the ask that you speak of that I directly asked you to clarify. Your point is inscrutable and your example wasn’t factual. So what are you asking for? This is a direct question.

I genuinely want to know what you’re hoping to accomplish by tut-tutting at me, quite snobbishly I might add, someone who is fully aware of what is going on. Seems like you just want to feel some sense of superiority over others without materially helping anyone, seems a little facist to me.

Oh what will we do without your handwringing.

Actually Mitch McConnell ripped up norms for Supreme Court appointments so what are you talking about or are you talking just to talk?

All you have to know about Mark Normand is that he’s a hack who’s only trick is being a budget Norm MacDonald.

I said fully I expected the plot of the movie the Siege and I’m not far off.

Pete Hegseth’s performance should give democrats the absolute moral clarity that not funding this government is the only way forward but I’m not holding my breath.

No shit. I take it you’re white.
