Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce.
Bear with me for a second while I try to explain.
SHARE WIDELY.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.
With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.
You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

Going on day 3 of school cancellation and sub zero windchill 🙃
By describing a fetus as a person from conception, Trump has legitimized fetal personhood. The legal language employed by fetal personhood also effectively categorizes any person receiving an abortion at any stage as a murderer.
And yes, she’s running. Many thoughts and prayers to the person running her Twitter account who inadvertently scheduled her announcement post and website

Girl, I love this for you—but why did you have to use Decimal?? 😭
And yet so many of our elected officials styling themselves as “Democracy Defenders” are unwilling or uninterested in doing this. Good for her!
To all the TERFs floating around the abortion rights movement who don’t see how our fight for bodily autonomy is intertwined with that of the trans community: 🖕
Minutes ago, the Trump admin revoked the sensitive locations policy that prevented ICE from carrying out enforcement arrests inside churches, hospitals, and schools.
👏👏👏 It’s refreshing to see this courage after silence and capitulation from the majority of our Dem electeds. If you can’t use your platform, however briefly you may have it, to stand up to fascism and speak truth to power, you don’t deserve it.
I’m so serious about this. Do not increase your time on meta platforms. In fact, over the next 48 hours, give your attention to somewhere else. Don’t reward Zuckerberg for this. 1/
We don’t need our Dem senators, who acknowledge this bill does nothing to address the immigration crisis, carrying water for Trump and MAGAs who have spent the last 4 years whipping up anti immigrant hate.
This means people arrested for nonviolent petty crimes could be tossed in dentition centers without a trial.
If this clear violation of human rights and due process concerns you as well, please contact both senators ASAP:
Gary Peters
202-224-6221
Elissa Slotkin

Michigan folks: our Democratic senators, Gary Peters and Elissa Slotkin, intend to vote with Republicans for the “Laken Riley Act”—legislation that would do absolutely nothing to address the immigration crisis but would eliminate the right to due process for undocumented people. /1
I went through this same thing last year. Appt was literally only 10 min and cost $200. Apparently if you discuss anything that is not on the list of permitted topics covered by annual checkup, you are billed a double appointment. God bless the USA
9 yo: is it illegal to spray paint on buildings?
dad: well, yes…unless you’re an artist hired to create art
9 yo: but I thought you said everything is art??
dad: well… yeah…
9 yo: BOOM! roasted!
I know it's a lot to ask of Dem House members but can we promote the young member who talks good and people like? As cool as it is to always replace people with people just like the people they replaced so nothing ever changes, I'd like to win elections and get stuff done at some point.
The historic day when all the nation’s gay men and straight women cried out in unison: I can fix him
I stg if the Dems do not embrace single-payer before the next election …
Every conservative columnist right now.
Let's get these passed! Our time is short, they must get through the committee by next week to keep them alive. www.thecentersquare.com/michigan/art...
Would be nice but I’ll believe it when it gets a floor vote
One thing about parenthood that you’re never prepared for is this mfer taking over your Spotify Wrapped 🫠
👏👏👏
It is really quite something to hear Justice Alito talk about leaving decisions to people and their doctors and how bereft of expertise the court is.
