I'm so glad this is all being recorded so we can show this to kids in 30 years for their history projects

I feel a bit scared for the portland frog, as an icon of their humiliation you know they'll be trying to target him in any way they possibly can

Yeah, I have heard exactly this. This is what I'm waiting for, for sure. It sucks that we all built our life raft over here, only to find out that management is complete ass, but let's be clear--we're absolutely NOT above moving again to a well-built place that actually cares about its users.

We are in the second week of the Republican shutdown.

Where are House Republicans? On vacation.

Went looking around the Capitol to see if any Republicans had the common sense to come back. Featuring @mcbride.house.gov.

Thread.

🧵 Trump is criminally invading states under false pretenses. His supporters are trying to instigate violence by dressing as antifa and committing crimes.

In this clip from Portland, Joey Gibson of "Patriot Prayer" and his fiancée, Lindsey Nichols, tried to cause trouble before being forced away.

This guy was very active in staging right-wing rallies in Berkeley during Trump's last term and generating film of confrontations with "antifa" counter protesters.

Very close to when they stop putting on a big show every time they get called Nazis and start openly saying "yeah, and?"

"Well if our coach hadn't sucked so much! If the weather wasn't so bad, if the equipment didn't suck," excuse excuse excuse.

We, collectively, lost. We didn't fill out enough circles.

And we don't talk enough about that.

It seems to me like everyone and their mother are blaming the Democrats, have been for years, but we almost never look inward.

Collectively, we as a people, as a nation, FAILED.

Twice.

And we hardly ever see talking heads mention that. We, the People, failed. We didn't outvote the Nazis.

Within like nine months, the economy has crashed, the non profit arts board and government grants/programs that were helping me had funding slashed, inflation is skyrocketing and people are being rounded up for wrongthink.

OR, hear me out on this: maybe we, the voters, should try harder to rise above this weird demand we apparently have for our lawmakers to also be salesmen.

MAYBE that's precisely the mentality that leads to, for example, the fucking Art of the Deal guy becoming President. Twice.

One of the (many) legal gaps that needs to be filled after this nightmare is over is to prohibit federal law enforcement agencies from using federal funds to create propaganda videos with anyone in custody. This is all about spectacle and content creation, remove the incentive and the means

The vindictive prosecutions of political enemies are not a distraction from the Epstein files - they’re one and the same: wielding the power of the DoJ to persecute your foes AND to protect your friends.

Cry me a fucking river

NN: Dems say you won't swear in Grijalva bc you don't want her vote on Epstein

JOHNSON: No. It's scheduling

NN: But there have been Rs sworn in during pro forma sessions

MJ: Only reason was bc they flew in their family

NN: So if she flies in her family you'd do it?

MJ: Again, it's a distraction

wtf so there's still time to contact him?

On the downside: that was some very doom-y reporting?

On the upside: cool!

I called and left a message: (916) 445-2841

All I did was say who I am, where I live, and listed off the names of the bills I support. Very easy:

If you're wondering why these big companies would knowingly fund a doomed economic bubble like this, it's because capitalism is a zero-sum game: whoever survives the inevitable crash gets to consolidate the remnants of the old economy. This has happened at least 3 times in just my lifetime.

I say this without a hint of irony- whoever at Nintendo had the idea to make these two shorts and release them the way they did deserves an award and a raise.

After freaking everyone the fuck out about Dolly Parton’s health yesterday, her sister issued an “oopsie!” apology today. Woof.

I’m begging everyone not to add unnecessary anxiety to our lives right now. My tummy was in knots over Dolly yesterday 😞
