How America got so weird: The Pilgrims made us do it Those guys who landed at Plymouth Rock were a doomsday cult, says Jane Borden β€” and we've emulated them ever since

Jane Borden's "Cults Like Us: Why Doomsday Thinking Drives America" develops a simple thesis: The Pilgrims were essentially a doomsday cult who passed on seven key elements of belief that have shaped America ever since. My author interview: 1/13

Every time I try to type β€œIndivisible” my autocorrect thinks I want to type β€œIndica.”

OMG do I need some Indica in my life now.

Tonight the warped ramblings of the president’s troubled mind were highlighted by a bizarre post about reopening Alcatraz

As well as the feud between Trump and Hollywood

But soon enough Americans will stop laughing at Trump’s halfwitted missives

When the 145% tariffs on China start to kick in

Trump is a monster, and if not stopped, will transform Alcatraz into a death camp.

Given that most, if not all MAGA merch is made in China, I'll be really curious to see what happens to their pricing and availability 😁

Your occasional reminder that tariffs are constitutionally a Congressional power, which they have delegated to the President under the premise that there is some sort of emergency. The Republicans in Congress can reclaim that power anytime they want.

Be honest. Did you expect the U.S. to
become an authoritarian state this quickly?

If a full impeachment of the domestic God King actually occurs, we want Jasmine Crockett and AOC to become interim US President and interim Vice President immediately to end maga.

Republicans voted to block hearings on #SignalGate yesterday.

They know that if they allow hearings we’ll learn that Felon47s foreign policy team broke the law & expose all of the other Cabinet level meetings taking place outside of security & record keeping protocols.

I spent the day reorganizing my storge pantry to see if I needed to stock up on anything. Thankfully, I think I'm set for at least 2-3 months if push comes to shove.
