Been fascinating with this since I saw it last night. A bunch of ICE morons basically stormed an Ecuadorian Consulate building before someone explaining how diplomatic immunity and extra-territoriality works. talkingpointsmemo.com/live-blog/ic...

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

"During the darkest days of the AIDS crisis, we buried our friends in the morning, we protested in the afternoon, and we danced all night.
The dance kept us in the fight because it was the dance we were fighting for."
The dance kept us in the fight because it was the dance we were fighting for."
I'm gonna say this with all the kindness in my heart: you aren't going to survive if you don't let your life have room for other things.
This is not a short term fight where we can just go 24/7 and then it will be over. We've got YEARS ahead of us. Take a break. Hydrate. Go bake something. Breathe.

Yes, they need to. But they haven't. And if they don't, what do we do? I feel like we're all screaming "DO SOMETHING" to everyone, including ourselves. But seriously, what do we do? Letters and phone calls to my MAGA members of congress go straight to the bin.
If you feel like you're losing your mind as this administration plays footsy with the idea of INVADING GREENLAND, then you're not alone.
Let me be clear: America will NOT invade a NATO ally. My Republican colleagues need to join me in making that crystal clear.

TAPPER: Can you rule out the US is going to take Greenland by force?
MILLER: Greenland should be part of the US. By what right does Denmark assert control over Greenland? The US is the power of NATO
T: So force is on the table?
M: Nobody is gonna fight the US militarily over future of Greenland

I had a Facebook tiff yesterday with someone who came to the defense of the Trump Admin's public health folks on the reckless changes to the vaccine schedule, defending Jay on the grounds of his commitment to respectful civic discourse.

A very simple message every Democrat should echo: Risking the lives of American soldiers to make oil companies more profitable is wrong.

Maybe somebody's just telling him it's aspirin.
Trump admits to taking more aspirin than his docs recommend: “They say aspirin is good for thinning out the blood, and I don’t want thick blood pouring through my heart. I want nice, thin blood pouring through my heart. Does that make sense?”

The hero we need and don't deserve.
Holy fuck! Showing ZERO fear of retribution from a vengeance-obsessed TRAITOR who attempted to overturn the 2020 presidential election, usurp the constitution, and overthrow the U.S. government, Jack Smith, with ZERO fucks left to give is what a badass American hero looks like.

It's outrageous that access to assisted suicide is increasing at a time when access to healthcare resources is decreasing.
Theoretically, everyone deserves the right to do what they want to their own bodies.
But in practice, these laws lead to further devaluation of disabled lives. They invariably lead to people choosing MAID because they can't afford healthcare, cajoled into this cheaper choice by an uncaring system.
