@fetterman.senate.gov you and your pals, real motherfucking heroes. voting with the fascists. Smooth move ex-lax

because he's their motherfucking leader. it's not a fucking mystery.

who the fuck are you to talk a motherfucking stranger like this? you dont fucking know me and now you never fucking will, you little internet creep.

the question of it working or not was answered 2500 years ago.

maybe you mean on "how" it works, NPR?

ICE is recklessly throwing tear gas into our neighborhoods and busy streets, including near children at school and CPD officers.

The Trump Administration must stop their deployment of dangerous chemical weapons into the air of peaceful American communities.

Oh yes, we're on the move!

false shit that persists like that is enraging. my triumvirate of writer-role models growing up was Joan Didion, Annie Dillard and Marilynne Robinson (on the strength of Housekeeping, really.) it soon expanded to include Toni Morrison, Alice Walker and my pal Catherine Williams (rip).

say what you want about Woody Allen, but Diane Keaton's Brando cracked me up when i was ten and it cracks me up to day too... she's luminous

and besides, I didn't fucking tell a trans woman to fuck off, i told a person to fuck off.

who the fuck do you think you are anyway. what do you know about me. fucking nothing. you know nothing about me. so fuck all the way off. go to hell and stay the fuck out of my life.

laugh at me. i replied to you and left it up long enough that you read it. i bowed out of this conversation. i didnt deny what i said. you can fuck off too. McBride is braver than any social media warrior. fight fucking fascists not the only trans person actually casting votes in congress.

well of course that's horrible, but it doesn't really change the fact that nobody but Sarah McBride is in Sarah McBride's shoes. Everyone has too much at stake, but nobody but she is casting votes in congress to make the world a safer place for herself and others. Nobody else is in her shoes.

a sort of haiku.

everyone's talking
reichstag but could be talking
harper's ferry.

when did the NYT ever matter to the world at the level the vast majority live. i subscribe for wordle and connections. everything else is TheManSplaining.

maybe good time to think about the glories of paper and the work it requires to retrieve information from it. good work. reading. thinking. contemplating. not scanning for keywords that might get you sent to a gulag.

i've basically had it with people giving sarah mcbride shit. you live her life, motherfucker, and see how you do. think you'd be in motherfucking congress right now?

i applaud her courage. standing ovation kind of applause. i dont want to weep over her execution. i want to celebrate her survival to fight another day. others can fight the other battles.

what a thread to start. jesus christ, as if trans people dont already have plenty of targets on their backs - can you imagine what her no vote would have rained down on her and others. did you even think about that? you should be protecting her, not throwing her to the motherfucking wolves.

lamp wore it best. hands down. well hand down.

you are one tough motherfucker. youre doing politics right. ezra klein can fuck off.

the things i have to do at home are such that ignortion (see Diane DiPrima) would demand seppuku.

C'est vraiment fatigant, mais aussi c'est normal.

chris murphy, ras baraka, lamonica mciver, van hollen, alex padilla have all taken one for the team too... they belong in the notorious few.

to be fair, outside of the notorious few (Crockett, AOC, AL Green, Max Frost, Jamie Raskin, and mister Bernie Bro himself...)absolutely nothing on their resumes suggests that they'd have a clue what to do when hitler threatens - they're little more than fundraising machines and desk protectors.

Cuz a song about people having a good time together at a public park that also has a killer horn section is cruel and unusual punishment!

Donna Summer. I was also a fan- still am.

When i read "takes" that exclude large portions of observable reality, i dont regard that as a different opinion but an intentional misrepresentation of the world for nefarious purposes, in other words, a lie. And so i hate. Then i get told "take it easy." I get told, "Will Stancil is a cool cat."
