Excited for someone to yell at me about why Dems are not doing this
🚨 Today, I formally introduced articles of impeachment against Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
RFK Jr. has turned his back on science and the safety of the American people. Michiganders cannot take another day of his chaos.

Overheard at work:
Student 1: Of course Socrates isn’t real, do you think anyone would talk to Plato?
Student 2: Low-key, I feel that way about Saint Augustine. He HAD to be close with God because he was like, a weird homeschool kid.

You do not understand any circumstances have to hand it to Kai Winn, but as soon as she realized she was dating Gul Dukat, she dumped his ass. She may have been a satanist, but she was not a Nazi.

Good on Penn Jillette. Having to come to terms with your entire political identity and philosophy being wrong is not easy and most people could never do it.

coming around on the idea that the easiest voters to peel off GOP coalition are just the ones that crave the boot. promise to step on them just as much as the GOP will and they'll gladly take it, because then they get to pretend to hate it cuz its Ds doing it

Hot take: the aversion that liberal/left people have to coercing people is in fact also gender-coded, and in this particular case it turns out that the stuff we've coded masculine - coercion using force to make people do pro-social things - actually was essential to society

Misinterpreting the most vulnerable and self-defensive attempt to survive as a hostile act? Who do you think you are, a cop?
Q: What did you see in the second strike?
Cotton: "I saw two survivors trying to flip a boat -- loaded with drugs, bound for the United States -- back over, so they could stay in the fight."
