Trump has reduced the complexity of modern life ZERO. He's done just about everything to accelerate the chaos & make life worse for the average Republican voter.

Just about the only thing he's given them is the ability to see their neighbors suffer.

But does that keep them fed, clothed, & healthy?

Trump orders homeless he passed en route to golf course to leave Washington DC President demands unhoused residents leave US capital or face eviction and vowed to use officers to make arrests

The phrase "en route to golf course" adds so much to the headline.

it’s legit radicalizing stuff that people are being arrested for these beliefs while the political establishment is, at the same fucking time, starting to agree with them

This shouldn’t need to be said but hospitals are supposed to be safe places. Sanctuaries. Free from judgement.

Healthcare workers should not be calling ICE on their patients.

They shouldn’t be calling the police on pregnant women who miscarry.

Their job is to help. Their oath is to do no harm.

Go and see Robin, saw both shows on Monday and both were excellent. He always is to be fair but both shows had a really nice dose of extra joy in them.

ICE is behaving as if it is an unaccountable secret police. Proving they’re accountable has to be the top priority of Democrats and states everywhere.

The wildest thing about this era is watching so many institutions say out loud yeah, we’re done committing ourselves to excellence, we’re going to specialize in the coddling of mediocre white men

Good evening, I’m out here in Los Angeles near MacArthur Park, where protestors have taken to the streets to protest the recent raids across the city, despite a TRO prohibiting them

You can’t β€œsupport our troops” by firing them and denying benefits they’re rightfully earned with more valor and sacrifice than their Secretary of Defense or Commander in Chief ever has or ever will.

but it took an add'l 2 yrs and she really was fine until the last 6 months when life became slow walks around the cul-de-sac and not leaving her alone for more than 2 hrs at a time. We're of an age now where we don't want another dog, caring for the end time will be too much for us in 14 years

I miss my beautiful sweet Dalmatian, who lived until she was 14 and was second to last of her litter. Perfectly healthy right up to the average Dalmatian age of 12, when she finally began having cardio problems. Don't think I haven't considered we had covid in the house before she got sick 😭
