What the hell???? Fox News says viscous things every day about democrats and others they dislike- including killing homeless people - during their β€œnewscasts”. Jimmy is a COMEDIAN.

He just dropped $280,000,000 worth of artillery in a war that’s not ours, but our grandparents have to live on Ramen noodles because America can’t afford Meals on Wheels anymore.

Make it make sense.

I don't know what Congress people need to hear this, but weak "decorous" opposition is insufficient to meet this moment.

I don't care if you flip him off and then walk out, or throw a pie at him, or what, but just refusing to clap or wearing a particular color to symbolize opposition is not enough.

It’s the people who love and defend him no matter what that are keeping us twisting in a hellscape while they lecture about how he does what he says and is the greatest president ever

MY LITTLE GOLDEN BOOK ABOUT PRIDE comes out today and I'm feeling extremely Ralph Wiggum "I'm in danger" about it. It's beautiful though and I love it no matter what they say

I 100% believe that whoever is meant to be in your life, will be. You will bump into them at the post office just like in the movies. Get off those apps and get outside.

We've gathered in solidarity wherever federal workers, federal programs and our Constitution are under attack.

The majority will defend representative democracy against the cyberbarons.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

Unfortunately this won’t scare him. He is used to taking big bets, losing out for awhile and then getting gains in the end. I’m sure what he is planning is rigged for unprecedented gains for him.

You don’t have to ask, they already made their choice and it was Trump. We shouldn’t let them come back from that. They knew far from better and Just. Didn’t. Care.

How long until the Library of Congress faces a purge? Should historians be getting what resources they can now? I'm imagining anything related to the civil rights movement, anti-fascism, and even public health could be gone soon.

Learning to code. I realized that everything really is figure out-able and that we seriously can make a brand new world in not that much time. We don’t have to be overwhelmed if we are too busy learning, growing, building, deploying, iterating.

Evolving to be a social species. You can build anything, but you can’t make real culture without sharing with others. In many cases, being social is literally the difference between living and healing or dying on the savanna alone. Still applies today.
