To the “I voted for this” crowd:

You voted for the guy who gutted the National Weather Service. Now we’ve got dead families and missing kids in Texas, because storm warnings didn’t go out in time. And he gutted FEMA so they can’t properly respond to disasters.

That’s what you voted for?

Such a good point on SCOTUS hypocrisy when it comes to Trump vs Biden:

They let a nationwide injunction kill Biden’s student loan relief when they had a chance to rule on it.

5 months into Trump’s presidency, suddenly nationwide injunctions are a grave threat to executive power and they must rule.

Or even just what humans do. Why do we have to be engaged or “on” every single day?

Oh come on, just stop.

That sounds hopeful

I hope Mandami will be as effective and consequential as La Guardia 🤞. New Yorkers deserve the best after some terrible mayors

And all of his cronies and enablers, pretty please 🙏

And why should we care what he thinks..?

@nytimes.com Do your job and report on this critical piece of information: Trump withdrew from the JCPOA in 2018. Your failure to report this is a breach of your journalistic responsibility and erodes any remaining thread of credibility that you may have had. Report the facts.

I wish there was some way to reset this timeline

What on earth is this bs?!

Would love to. I am fluent in French, have taught English to Masters students in France, did my doctoral research in France. And yet… I have no savings or equity after getting my student loans forgiven from public service at a public university. PhDs are not in demand and you can’t just up and move

Not really…

It’s like the parade was an opportunity for him to show the world his military toys and now he gets to play war to show how powerful he is

This seems to be painfully the truth. It worries beyond belief about the future of this country

Five things to remember about war:

How many years… I mean, months… are we into this presidency?

What a fool

I was curious if a thermal camera would be strong enough to get a better guess of facial features on these goons?

@mayor.lacity.gov @governor.ca.gov
It is your responsibility to address this. You must remove officers who violate their professional duties & Californians’ right to protest. Your continued silence and failure to strongly condemn these LAPD officer actions is complicity and undermines public trust.

@mayor.lacity.gov @governor.ca.gov

Why aren’t you condemning LAPD officers who are harming residents? These officers must be removed immediately. By failing to act, you undermine your stated commitment to public safety and 1st Amendment rights. Ignoring abuse signals it is tolerated.
