"If a woman doesn't look woman enough to a Republican, they want to be able to inspect your genitals to use a bathroom? It's disgusting.

Everyone should reject it completely... they're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kind, and everyone should reject it. It's gross." - AOC

AOC comes out swinging against a Nancy Mace for targeting Sarah McBride.

"They're doing this so that Nancy Mace can ... fundraise off an email. They're not doing this to protect people. They're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kinds. And everybody should reject it. It's gross."

I spent a decade on Twitter telling everyone Roe was in danger only to be told time and again that it wasn't.

Then came Dobbs. And now they are using Dobbs to strip away every right that isn't rooted in history and tradition. They're citing it in Skrmetti (the trans rights case) for fucks sake.

at least it’s snowing outside right now to soothe my anxiety

just burnt the absolute mess out of my hand steaming milk this morning for my latte 🥲

“I have received some guidance to avoid terms, like ‘camps,’” because “some people think it makes us look like Nazis”

there are people who want to see you succeed. don’t change yourself for those who don’t change themselves.

You’d think with all that money they could at least hire a graphic designer to make it look good…or do you think elon made it himself? Or was it an art project between the two?

Wowwww

Trump promised to cut food bills AND deport agricultural workers, slap huge tariffs on imported food, and "make America healthy again" through pricey organic food.

He can't do all of this at once. It's impossible. So either it all fails, or food becomes so expensive that people just start starving.

Can I be added?

If you are smart enough to feel embarrassed and tiptoe around what you politically support to avoid conflict with people those politics do directly harm, how are you not smart enough to realize that *maybe* it’s not something you should be supporting??

The most exhausting thing about this era has been watching people I once respected -- personally, professionally, politically -- steadily migrate toward Trumpism. Even as Trump gets progressively nuttier and more authoritarian. Just a relentless, eight-year barrage of gut punches.

CNN reporting that Kash Patel being considered for FBI director.

I was once broken up with because I “made him feel intellectually inferior” and “talked too much” (His actual words!)…He then couldn’t understand why I wasn’t upset about the breakup 🙈 I had that exact Elle scene playing in my head bc I’m not going to apologize for being either one of those things.

Circle ‘round, kids, and watch as it dawns on the Journal’s editorial page that they’ve been backing an “anti-constitutional” candidate all this time!

“… and this will cause widespread food shortages (think coffee, cacao beans, many fruits and veggies, especially off-season and tropical). The Trump transition team member said: “maybe Americans shouldn’t eat those foods.”
