The military takeover of Washington is not a “distraction” from Epstein. It’s a military takeover of Washington, which is an even bigger deal, and those of us who kill brain cells reporting on this stuff knows it’s been an explicit goal since before the election.

Homelessness is a policy failure, not a personal one.

ICE looted their restaurant and tried to break into the safe. News chopper footage caught them backing their cars up to the door and carrying out cases of food.

Right? Who knows what they did! We should open up the Epstein Files and see what’s in there, J.D. Good point.

Missouri Democratic lawmakers are in such a superminority that they don’t even need to show up for laws to be passed in this state.

An even sadder statement? A piece of legislation can go from the House to the Senate to becoming a law on the Governor’s desk while never being signed by a woman.

all I want, from any type of relationship, is a person who will make jokes about the horrors while actively fighting them with me

usually if you ask experts why an empire fell they’ll say it’s nuanced and multifaceted, so i think it’s kind of cool that with America future historians will get to just say like “oh they took the idiot train to moronsville”

Can’t say why exactly, but the phrase “once again refused a pierogi” made me laugh out loud.

The British pediatrician D. W. Winnicott once wrote, “There’s no such thing as a baby. There is a baby and someone.”

This morning, ICE rolled into a Home Depot parking lot using a moving truck loaded w/agents, like a Trojan horse, to snatch up Latino workers. Whoever they could find. No idea if they were undocumented or not.

Fascism is expensive.

Republicans men are the most fragile bitches on the planet. No one tantrums harder than they do, not even 2 year olds.
