In case people are wondering how I have so many posts here, I moved my Tweets over so I can get away from "over there." I've been there since 2006.

So cool that whenever someone asks the president, “did you eat the Lindbergh baby” he’s like, “no but I’d be allowed to, I have the right to, I might do it later”

I think we should all be inundating the guy with the messaging that he’s definitely going to suffer for eternity in hell because he seems to be preoccupied with what comes after death lately

Trump: "I want to be good because you want to prove to God so you go to that next step, right? So that's very important to me."

Breaking news: ICE stops family at gunpoint—smash car window on top of newborn baby.

"I was screaming that there was a baby. But they didn’t care," cried mother.

“I covered my baby with my body—I was so scared he was going to be hurt because glass was landing on him."

The video game that made queer love visible just landed in the hands of bigots. slate.trib.al/lqXJhfT

This Video Game Was a Safe Haven for Millions. Now It Belongs to People Who Hate Them.

The Sims helped me—and countless other queer players—see ourselves. The new owners could erase that legacy.

Let us never forget, how many of the political games the GOP played involved the loss of human lives. They’re still playing those games. People are still dying.

Trump admin (illegally) plans to shift $1.8 billion in USAID money toward "America first" goals, including vague initiatives like countering “Marxist, anti-American regimes” in Latin America or pursuing investments in Greenland and Ukraine.

Millions will starve because of this.

Trump administration eyes USAID money to advance America First goals

A State Department plan to reallocate close to $2 billion in foreign aid marks the latest challenge to Congress’ authority over federal spending.

I've said this before, but I feel pretty strongly that the building of concentration camps - and now, the inevitable disappearance of 1,800 people from those camps - is the biggest story in American public health right now that isn't being treated like one

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site

As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

I know it's an impossible dream but on this national day of mourning my fondest wish is that everyone from across the political spectrum will one day unite and come to the common sense conclusion that Charlie Kirk was a reprehensible piece of shit.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

“The MAGA Gang (is) desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it,” Kimmel said. “In between the finger-pointing, there was grieving.”
