Apparently Americans need to be reminded yet again that we have never suspended elections during a war. Lincoln was reelected during the Civil War (a large part of why we have absentee voting), FDR during WW2. It's never been true, and scaring folks with untrue things makes you not a good person.

There are very few situations in which launching missiles into a sovereign country *isn’t* an act of war.
People will downplay this because Nigeria doesn’t have the ability to directly respond to us, but that doesn’t make it any less illegal

I really hope with all my heart that Stephen Miller gets everything he deserves; hopefully we won't have to actually see it happen because that would be gross and gory.

“Clinton is in the Epstein files!”
Great. Next time I come across a Clinton rally, someone wearing a Clinton hat, or flying a Clinton flag on their truck, I’ll be sure to let them know.
The rest of us want them ALL held accountable because we aren’t in a cult. Hope that helps.

I could say plenty about this, and I could quote plenty in this article, but this one short sentence from the article says everything:
"The ableism and the racism go together."
The ableism is foundational.

“It turns out that banishing the slur from public discourse was, in fact, important. Because now it’s back and it turns out that it does matter when subtext becomes actual text, when terrible people enable open hatred and bigotry, encouraging others to emulate them, degrading us all.”
Perry: The return of the r-word
"These days, the r-word slur has become a staple of the American right wing, uttered with few professional or social consequences," David M. Perry writes.

Medical ICU nurse. There are few things more frustrating than seeing a patient with a treatable cancer who's lost funding because they're too sick to work. It's sickening and should never, ever happen in this country. Full fucking stop.
