Here’s the thing, if they are picking up folks working in the country illegally, I’m going to need to see some white guys also being arrested for employing people working illegally in the country.
Otherwise, it’s just racism.

In the 90s, I genuinely thought the Internet would cure loneliness. But it turns out that for me anyway the Internet addresses loneliness the way alcohol addresses anxiety.

Antis really don’t know what to do with you when you’re a mother who’s had an abortion (and talks openly about it). They really want the two to be fundamentally incompatible. But having my daughter and having an abortion are both reproductive choices I’ve made - based on the same set of values.

I read The Martian yesterday and I find my only criticism of Andy Weir is that both times I’ve sat down with his books I cannot stop until I have finished them.

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

If you're in congress and you aren't publicly in favor of banning the trading of individual stocks by people in congress, get your head out of your fucking ass.

The upward redistribution of wealth over the past 50 years has shifted $80 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%.
That’s $80 trillion that would have gone into the paychecks of the working class.
The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

There are two good April Fools jokes:
-putting googly eyes on things
-hiding tiny plastic ducks random places
Anything other than that should be banned.

Longest speaking filibuster ever was 24 hours, 18 minutes by Strom Thurmond in opposition to the Civil Rights Act of 1957.
In a few hours, that record will be shattered by Sen. Cory Booker, a Black man, laying out the case for saving democracy from an aspiring despot.
