I like Chicago, my cat, other people’s dogs, bourbon, Star Trek and my family. The order of above shifts.

It’s crazy how relieved I am to have the late night shows back - Meyers, Colbert and Kimmel. They are so helpful in clarifying all the madness. I can see why Trump hates them.

I remember that one! It wasn’t unusual in the pop culture of the time. The way people act like it’s brand damn new is so silly.

Amidst all these smart academic citations, this elder Gen X person remembers well that sitcoms of the 70s often had plotlines around what were then called “sex change” operations. I remember a quite sweet episode of The Jeffersons where George accepted his old army buddy as she truly was.

A video arguing that women shouldn’t be able to vote was just shared by Trump’s Secretary of Defense, the guy in charge of our whole military.

And Democratic Party leaders still can’t stand up to this administration?! Our rights are on the line and all our party leaders offer us is silence.

My cat likes to hop up on the couch next to me, make sustained eye contact, lift his leg and start licking his asshole. Gotta maintain the social hierarchy i guess.

When there are flying bugs on the other side of the window and your cat is a beautiful idiot. All. Freaking. Morning.

My professional life is pretty much reduced to silently saying “fewer” at least once during every conference call.

In 2016, Van Jones was doing his idiot outreach with Trump voters and stated confidently that had he done what Hillary did, he’d have been in jail for the rest of his life; never said what that was, just enjoyed the MAGA head nods. Why this clown keeps getting asked his opinion is beyond me

I am not a Chicago lifer, but I have lived here since I was 18 and will admit that I have long made “Chicagoan” the dominant part of my personality and, seriously, if you want to put ketchup on your hot dog, go with god. Do you. It’s a deeply weird thing to care about.

Many years ago, I traveled out to the west suburbs to knock on doors for Lauren and I feel like Underwood v Noem is my reward. Go and get ‘em, Lauren !

I love this so much. Look at our progressive men - they all seem to be married to women that like them

Called @schakowsky.house.gov today to ask why she hasn’t filed articles of impeachment. I mean, I know they won’t pass, but the point is to signal that she’s in the fight. Because so far? Not getting it.

Either get off your ass and get down to El Salvador or retire. These feckless, lame statements are pointless. Your Republican colleagues are beyond shame and beyond morality. Are you ready to get some gd skin in this game or not?

I called Duckworth today and normally I quite like her. Her staffer said she didn’t know what Duckworth was doing about this and told me to check her socials or look for a press release. I mean… pardon the spice but are you f**king kidding me?!

Is it performative? Hell yes. But when your opposition is utterly lawless, the best thing a lawmaker with a big podium can do is make some big goddamn noise about the lawlessness. Hell yes, @booker.senate.gov ! Stay loud.

Did I open BlueSky to be read … good news? Is that something we’re still doing? Good work from the Dems here. Better work from the folks who picked up the phone

What really pisses me off is no he absolutely fucking wouldn’t. If he’d called himself “they”, other kids would have called him a f****t and beat him up. I remember those times. It’s just an ugly, cruel, transphobic lie. Also, p what do these assholes think happens in a girls’ bathroom?

Happy #Caturday from TaxiCat and his big, worried eyes. He’s not actually worried. His face just goes like that. He is unaware of the dumbass dorky incel dweebs, the absolute fucken chodes, the worlds most mediocre white men wrecking our democracy. Jealous.
