Friendly reminder: you don't have to tolerate conservatives in your life. You can create spaces which demand they follow basic decency or be expelled and this is a good thing. We are in this moment because we tolerated their anti-social behaviors and hand waved the crazy takes as impossible.

Good morning! I'm in Uganda to visit family and friends.

But depending on your perspective, don't worry or I'm sorry: I'll be back by the end of the month.

See you soon, NYC.

Your Medicaid is cut. Your health insurance is not safe. Your tips are still taxed. You pay the tariffs. There’s no trade deals. No wars have ended. Gas isn’t $2. Eggs aren’t cheaper. There isn’t $10 trillion in investment. The Epstein files are buried.

It’s. All. Lies.

All the time.

"Winning" has never felt so fucking awful.
BREAKING: Scientists are staging a “science fair” in the lobby of a Congressional building to tell elected officials about the critical knowledge the US will lose because their research grants have been canceled.

It's going to get a whole lot worse before it gets better.

The second half of that phrase is that it only gets better if you put in the effort. Organize and be safe. Tell your friends and family you love them.

The only way out is through.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.

I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

Mamdani: "I've already had to start get used to the fact that the president will talk about how I look, how I sound, where I'm from, ultimately bc he wants to distract from what I'm fighting for. I'm fighting for the the very working people he ran a campaign to empower that he has since betrayed."

We're driving through Iowa and it amuses me greatly that I can see farmland all around me, stare at my phone for an hour and a half, look up and still see farmland all around me.

Is there actually civilization here?

As I’ve noted before, I think it is telling that “I hope you get what you voted for,” is correctly considered an insult to conservatives. If someone told that to me, I’d be like “Yeah, man. I hope I get sensible market regulations, a strengthened social safety net, and the right to shit too.”

what exactly do the Dems who voted to table here think they're accomplishing

millions upon millions of people took to the street just a couple weeks ago to protest this man, he's extremely unpopular by every measure we have, and he's asserting dictatorial power on a daily basis

what are you doing
It took less than two hours for the House to shoot down H.R. 537, Rep. Al Green’s impeachment resolution condemning the Donald John Trump, President of the United States, for high crimes and misdemeanors.

Interpersonal politics between friends and family is often a lot more complicated than trying to convince strangers. Loud and proud bigots aren't worth anything besides ridicule, but if you see an opportunity to inform someone in your daily life, do it. You can affect change there the most.
