Imagine having your parents brutally murdered and then having to do this because the fucking President of the United States is so disgusting.

I don’t know what moment Chuck Schumer is made for, but it sure as shit isn’t this one.
Asked about the possibility of impeachment, Schumer says "we hope that we can have support from our Republican colleagues to put a brake on this long before it gets that far"

It's illegal for the president to relieve student loan debt. It's completely fine for the president to unilaterally decide to have the head of a foreign nation black bagged on foreign soil.

We can hold compassion for the range of emotions Venezuelans may be experiencing — including positive emotions — and also be clear that regime change by a fascist superpower is dangerous, destabilizing, and sets precedents that will not stop at Venezuela. Those aren’t contradictory positions.

Today a young nonbinary friend talked about being screamed at and threatened with violence on the subway with their (also trans) partner on New Year’s Eve. No one was hurt, but they’re shaken up.
I share this bc people are telling me that it’s unreasonable not to compromise with transphobes.

If you're a Democrat, you're a sucker if you imagine this agency has anything to do with immigration. It is--and aspires to be!--a fascist paramilitary goon squad. You should start saying so and lay the groundwork for starving it of funding when you take power

Was just thinking about the folks diligently masking where I subbed as a pro chorister recently. With the latest nasty flu/cold going around, they could and should gloat about being spared that experience. That due diligence paid off!
Wrote about how disappointing it is that Jon Stewart punched down on people masking at @motherjones.com, when people should mind their own business and leave mask wearers be. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
Hey Jon Stewart, jokes about wearing masks aren't funny
Critics of the Daily Show host say he's a hypocrite.

NY is having a bad flu season. More hospitalizations last week than any week on record.
Health authorities are encouraging everyone aged 6mo+ to get the flu vax (it's not too late).
Find a provider here: on.nyc.gov/getvaccinated. You can filter for sites where there's no cost for the uninsured.

I saw someone wondering why the elites and the MSM don't keep banging the drums about the fascist in chief calling people "radical left scum" like they have and continue to do about "deplorables." It's because they agree with the fascist that leftists are scum and also do not fear the left(s), lol.
