Today would be an excellent day for all doctors to simply stop treating politicians until we have national single payer health care.

LOL. Leave it to Herr Shitler to attempt to claim someone else’s Nobel prize. Sorry dude, the Nobel Peace Prize is one thing you’re never going to get. And no, you’re never going to be as cool as Obama no matter what you try.

Juries defending our right to protest are the perfect example of why we shouldn’t automatically blow off jury duty.

I teach in my undergrad class on the history of the US jury system that the institution's roots are in colonial juries serving as a counterweight to abuses of imperial power. The American jury has problems for sure but still can serve that roll. Don't blow off jury service.

This whole shutdown is for two purposes. 1: steal your basic rights.
2: protect the pedophiles who are their leaders and donors.

Mike Johnson apparently thinks that while the government is shut down Trump can do anything he pleases. The speaker of the House just offered dictatorial powers to the enemy of the people shitting cheap gold all over The People’s House

If you are ever momentarily confused about who Republicans work for, just remind yourself how far they’ve been willing to go in protecting their pedophile donors and leaders.

I don’t give a fuck how scared you are of immigrants, you don’t rappel stormtroopers into a building filled with sleeping kids and zip-tie them. We used to have a 4th amendment in this country that made that illegal. Good times, eh?

Every time you buy from an Oligarch firm, you vote with your wallet in favor of its current management. When you refrain from giving them money, management notices. Show them who’s really boss!

I wonder if comedians can do a 24 hour Global Roast where one by one they just get up and absolutely cook some of these autocrats. Live streamed, back to back, just truly going to town on them.

Going after the comedians and immediately saying after that no one is allowed to be mean to him is extreme fraidy cat energy actually.
