fell down a rabbit hole of looking to see if Trump was a southpaw (he's not) and realized, at the ripe age of 42, that when I was told all those years ago that I lacked motor skills that PERHAPS IT WAS JUST BECAUSE I WAS LIVING IN A WORLD NOT MEANT FOR SOUTHPAWS

When Life Is Crashing Over Your Head You can't stop the waves, but you can learn to surf

Caretaking your elderly parent can be a real fucking bitch but sometimes you just gotta surrender to the messiness or else you'll get pulled under, too.

Most hospice workers are angels on earth, BUT there is hospice firm called Amedisys, owned by United Healthcare, and you should NOT put your loved ones in their care. That's all I'm going to say for now. They are incompetent charlatans. Choose someone else.

This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.

This is Los Angeles. It’s 503 sq miles. Home to 4 million people. The small red dot is roughly where peaceful protests (and nocturnal lawlessness) have been happening. The rest of the city is calm. LA doesn’t need to be β€œsaved” or β€œliberated” by soldiers. Our community is in danger. The city is not.

ICE rolls in, LA rises up.πŸ”₯

If Stephen Miller was looking for immigrants to roll over and just take it from his ICE goons, he picked the wrong f*cking town. Between yesterday in LA City and Paramount today, the community is fighting back.

β€œIt’s a [digital] coup… We can’t fight it if we can’t see it and we can’t see it if we don’t name it… We are watching the collapse of the international order in real time, and this is just the start. Coups are like concrete: Once they stop moving, they set.”

Both working hard and being friendly are such double-edged swords, because then people just expect MORE OF IT

Reminder that words matter. You can’t β€œdeport” a US citizen. You might be kidnapping, disappearing, exiling, expelling, illegally removing, etc., but you’re not β€œdeporting” a US citizen.

People are saying that there looks to be a turnout surge in Wisconsin for the judicial election so just remember that if you're in line by 8:00 pm, STAY IN LINE.

Get out there and show Elon that your vote is not for sale. :)

I am often asked how to defeat fascists. If I had an easy answer, we wouldn't be here! The point of my story is that I do have experience dealing with people who enjoy the anguish of others, and I know how fragile those people's confidence is. When I did a story on a troll harassment campaign against a woman in Montana, I published the audio of the creepy voicemails the trolls had left for her. A couple of my alt-right sources were furious because they felt embarrassed-the voicemails did not sound cool when played to a mass audience.
As troll culture has ascended to the highest levels of American governance, it's worth remembering this simple fact: One way to rebalance the power between a billionaire troll and regular people is to make sure everyone sees who they really are.

No, 150-Year-Olds Aren’t Collecting Social Security Benefits Elon Musk claims to have found rampant fraud in the Social Security Administration. There’s a much simpler explanation.

We'll say it again: No, 150-year-olds are not collecting Social Security benefits. #SOTU www.wired.com/story/elon-m...
