Anxious Pickle

I don’t feel bad for Mueller. He could have prevented this.

Still.
You didn’t hold the line.
It was an emergency and people were running around screaming Genocide Joe and are STILL protesting Harris.

well they're going along with it.

(My best friend from law school, I am sorry to say, voted for Stein, but not in a swing state. )

Yikes, I'm sorry.

It’s no accident that they resettled the last batch of Afrikaaners in central Pennsylvania. They’re trying to seed the state with more white supremacists.

Rage moment
I hate everyone who did not vote for Harris.
In a swing state. Because I can’t hate my best friend.

Years autocorrect

I did capital appeals for eight year, and they were not nearly as terrifying as the four green card applications I just filed. One stray mark or incorrectly checked box and your client could be on a plane somewhere bad.

Boy, North Carolina Republicans sure don't want the attached story to circulate. I sure hope that this stupid threat from their spokesperson doesn't boomerang on them and have a lot more people read and share the story, which once again, is conveniently attached below. That would be a shame.

I am happy for you and for your courage, which you had before -- you sought treatment and THAT takes courage, too.

I hate it when you're about to fall asleep and have an idea and then you have to open your laptop and write it down and now it's way past my bedtime.

Ignorant of the way trauma works, callous, encouraging of hate.
You can and should condemn the use of one set of atrocities to justify another, but saying that people should not be mourned misses the mark so badly -- more empathy is never wrong.
In my heart there is a museum.

I learned of this poem yesterday:
www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/56282/...
which reminded me of how incredibly ignorant G@briel Win@ant was to write an article after 10/7 saying that it was wrong to mourn Israelis

(to clear it up for you: it didn't make it not hate for people to be triggered by 9/11. If they weren't hateful, they wouldn't blame all Muslims for 9/11, and if people weren't hateful now, they wouldn't go around attacking Jews because of Israel, hope that helps you.)

sure, but it‘s still antisemitism to attack Jews, just as attacks on Muslims after 9/11 were triggered by the attack AND WERE WRONG.

Hey @chrismurphyct.bsky.social @sanders.senate.gov I love you guys. But Nazi tattoos really ought to be a deal breaker. It’s not a general — we’re not choosing between Platner and Collins. We’re choosing between Platner and someone else.
You should know better.

Only if you’re a Democrat.
Republicans can pimp out their daughters and bury their ex wives in golf courses and knock down the White House and kill random fisherman and people yawn.

*family, not country

Ok.
It is monstrous, nonetheless.

I mean. We exterminated and expelled Native Americans, put Japanese people in camps, and enslaved and tortured Black people. I am here because my country came as refugees. I love this country. We have always been flawed but this is another level.

Why do schools allow them in?

Who knew that Curtis Sliwa was the kind of guy to do a mitzvah?

I think so?

I’m sorry.

random rabbis

Every single day when I come home and see my dog I am frustrated again at the mayor's decision to end remote work.
I was so much happier and more productive writing on the couch with my dog next to me, and of course, my dog was happier, too.

Pretty sure you could get 1000 rabbis to condemn that, too. The problem is the other 1000.

Good lord it's a gouache I know better.
