the time is never wrong to mention that the president, his whole cabinet, and all his advisors are horrid excuses for people who do not make acceptable use of the oxygen they breathe.

i no longer believe that it is possible to
be a compassionate person without recognizing that ICE is beyond help and must be completely abolished.

yep

drawback of living in a small town in a rural area: heavy snowfall means driveway needs shoveling.

advantage of living in a small town in a rural area: enterprising teenagers with limitless energy will knock on your door and shovel your driveway for “twenty bucks. or whatever.”

i want to be as direct as possible: nobody, *nobody,* is to refer to the kennedy center as anything but the kennedy center under any circumstances. are we clear?

can i also just say how much i hate the phrase “active shooter incident?”

“gun violence” or “mass murder” are the words you’re looking for.

sad, scared, and horrified by the shooting at my alma mater brown university tonight.

now is not the time for thoughts and prayers. now is the time for some godddamned gun control.

this person is a vile and disgusting excuse for a human, and i hope wisconsinians are able to rid themselves of him as soon as possible. i mean what the fuck kind of a person acts like this.

when your opponent is bigger than you, stronger than you, and cheating, you simply must accept that you're going to lose some fights. but to not loudly point out the cheating is pure madness. democrats' messaging remains tragically underpowered.

@lollardfish.bsky.social on Bluesky instead of saying this was good strategy, maybe senate dems should say: "the republicans were going to kill people by starving them to death, and because we aren't monsters, we decided to let this fight go. We'll keep fighting. Stop electing monsters."

i am so furious about the democratic party's inability to just SAY SIMPLE THINGS THAT ARE TRUE.

i am once again asking you to turn off your goddamn cell phones in the theater. silencing the ringer does not silence your alarms. please. please.

i’d really like to see the media and the democratic leadership wake up to the entirely basic fact that we win when we run candidates who are younger than 50 and who relentlessly stick to a policy platform of being nice to people and trying to help them.

oh, is someone feeling a little concerned about younger, smarter, more relatable democratic candidates?

hahah love it yes good.

dick cheney was a vindictive ghoul who directly caused the death and suffering of thousands of innocents. whatever else you read about him today, please remember that.

that was one damn good baseball game.

things this game has almost run out of:
- pitchers
- baseballs
- hours until my toddler wakes up

oh hi y’all.

12 is really quite a lot of innings.

@overcastfm@mastodon.social the redesign looks great!

@kateschapira.bsky.social on Bluesky Today, I learned about About Face: Veterans Against the War. The person who told me about them is a vet & a new member. One thing they're doing rn, he said, is talking with rank & file military (incl National Guard) about their legal options & the cost of *not* taking a stand. aboutfaceveterans.org https://aboutfaceveterans.org/

a good cause! and while i have you, if you’re not already following kate you really ought to be!

Gonna link back to this but just start a Ghost blog or something at this point, its never been easier. aftermath.site/website-musk...

“But I am a hater, and I will not be polite. The machine is disgusting and we should break it. The people who build it are vapid shit-eating cannibals glorifying ignorance. I strongly feel that this is an insult to life itself.”
