To all those friends and family members who state they "don't do politics" - maybe you think you're just gonna sit this thing out and nothing is gonna impact you directly. Don't count on it, and don't expect one speck of sympathy from me when it does.

Does anyone else here think MTG's statement about "refusing to be a battered wife and hope it all goes away" is some A-level shade thrown Melania's way.

Came home to chill and scroll the internet and learned at the same time BF and I were dropping off a Costco haul at Open Door Counseling Center near our home, ICE was yanking someone out of the car less than a mile away in Kroger's parking lot.
Fuck you, ICE.

Cruz, Graham, Rubio, Hegseth - what do all these people (and more) have in common?
They have all loudly denounced Donald Trump in the past, yet all kissed the ring to weasel into their current position.
Do they believe they are not on Trump's revenge list? Be patient...Y'all are at the bottom.

Is is ballsy or deluded to threaten a room full of generals (trained to kill, in charge of thousands of others trained to kill) with firing if they don't like what you have to say?

Hello from Forest Grove. Teskey Brothers concert last night, lots of happy people gettin' their drink on, having a good time. Most threatening act I saw was a young man devouring a hot dog.

Cracks me up that every time Republicans get together somewhere, Grindr crashes. I worked as a maid in our small coastal town as a teenager. Every time the Dorchester Conference came to town, the motel I worked at filled up with Portland hookers. One with a Great Dane and 4 boxes of Summer's Eve.

It is not our job to determine if resistance is hopeless. It is our duty to render it effective, at all possible points, while we are alive. It is the future that will determine if our efforts were victorious, not the present. To act fully in the present means to never face defeat.
