The decision to turn this into political Halloween is fucking genius, and I want to commend my fellow Americans for meeting this moment in true nerd culture fashion.

Blessed are the frogs, for they keep making authoritarians look incredibly stupid

People are using the term "pro-antifa" to describe everything now. One Battle After Another? Pro-antifa. Zohran? Yep.

Pro-Anti, all in one word, one concept.

The very fabric of reality is collapsing, beyond what AI is doing to our senses, how we make meaning. Language itself is a civil war.

The fact that there was even a discussion of giving the man who has orchestrated beatings in the streets and courts all year a Peace Prize makes me feel like I’m gonna burst into flames. Please give me the Not On Fire Prize after I do.

And by "wonderful secret", he means raping children.

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

I’m horrified by Trump’s order to send 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. We’re only nine months into a four year term and already the president is trying to invade an American city. If you’re in the Guard, you can and should refuse these orders.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

Hillary Clinton referred to SOME Trump supporters as”deplorable,” and the political media had a meltdown. Trump refers to all Democrats as anti-American radical communists and “the enemy within,” and it’s no big deal. His reckless and dangerous demonization has been fully normalized.

Personally I’m excited to get shot in the streets of Burbank by a Navy Seal. So much better than what I had planned for myself (dementia, hospice, surrounded by loved ones, boring).
