The GenX urge to come as you are, as you were, as I want you to be.

In all fairness, they never said they were Garfield's friends, just that they were someone's.

I love the hater pope

I love it!

. . . elsewhere. The helicopters and drones are still around. Many people are in hiding or basically sheltering in place. Lots of people still not going to work, lots of kids not going to school or doing school online. Things are still far from normal here & we still need help. 🧵

Every time I see a report of ICE leaving Minnesota or Minneapolis I think "I wish" because uh, they're still here being assholes & terrorizing people, just not as much in some places but more so in other places best I can tell and of course people are still imprisoned in misery at Whipple & . . . 🧵

the right really hates it when you call their planned concentration camps "concentration camps." their whole program works only if you make migrants into a scary mass of undocumented criminals coming for white families. its a lot harder when you humanize it. keep it up.

Don't congratulate John Roberts or the Supreme Court.

Congratulate Rick Woldenberg, the Chicago-area leader of Learning Resources, an educadtional toy company that had the courage to sue the president of the United States to save his family business.

As well as everyone else who stepped up.

a lot of you are probably too young to remember this but there was a time when the married dhs secretary using taxpayer money for a custom built fuck palace in the sky for her to bang coworkers wouldve been a big deal

For satire to work, it must either be so outrageous as to make us take pause or it must be rooted in truth. I believe this is satire rooted in truth.

"The world is mad; let us be madder still" is such a beautiful line.

I knew a military wife once. The horror stories she told me about how badly Republican administrations treated military families...like, it's one thing to abuse the people whose support you really need, but to do so and essentially laugh hysterically at their pain is something else. That's the GOP.

Very kind words from someone who makes far more engaging content than I do.

I was at the premiere! (Or, a premiere.) Not only is it a great, but you get glimpses of very young versions of Jack Black and Giancarlo Esposito, plus Gore Vidal, of all people (not very young.)

American Jews: hey, there’s a lot of antisemitism happening under the cover of pro-Palestine rhetoric and it’s increasingly hard to tell the difference between pro-Palestine people and actual Nazis

y’all: you’re just covering for Israel

This is the kind of thing white supremacists have been doing to Emmett Till’s memorial for decades.

It’s wild to see them do this to a white woman who the entire world saw extrajudicially murdered.

my general attitude towards the Democratic Party's elected officials is what it was towards the Buffalo Bills during the drought, which is "none of you are good enough, figure it out or be replaced, but so help me god if you lose the game"

im the biggest critic of theocracy youll ever find but you also cant pretend that religious faith isnt a central point in the lives of most americans -- including most people who vote for democrats.

i am begging people to understand that without black church attendees, especially women, the democratic party is not a viable political party and religion isnt just about right wing evangelicals.

Looks like the "If I don't like a Democratic candidate, the Republicans should be allowed to brutalize the marginalized groups that I claim to support even more than they already are" guy got their feelings hurt.

You're arguing thay the Republicans, who are aggressively persecuting as many minority groups as they think they can get away with, should stay in power if you don't like a Democratic nominee. Your hypocrisy is astounding.

You're the one arguing that the Republicans should stay in power, so your pretense at having a moral compass means nothing.

I'm getting serious flashbacks to the Hillary supporters in 2017 who fought to defeat Heath Mello's run for Mayor of Omaha, while denying that they wanted his Republican opponent to win.

You literally did when you called for any Democratic candidate you don't agree with 100% to lose in a race where it's going to be either the Democrat or the Republican, and the Republicans are objectively worse where everything you claim to care about is concerned.

So please stop lying.

You're calling for 700 percent Hitler to stay in power if you don't get your way, so you calling anyone a baby is not ironic in any way whatsoever.

You're calling for us to make horrific sacrifices to get things that you view as good, and arguing that the people you claim to support should suffer far more and far worse if you dislike the Democratic candidates, but sure, it's totally people other than you who don't understand things.

You literally said that everyone should suffer if your preferred candidate doesn't get the Democratic nomination, so maybe next time try reading what you write?

"There was a lump" is not a phrase you expect to hear at the allergy doctor.
