Walz: "Do you have no decency? We have someone dead in their car for no reason whatsoever. I don't want to be right about this, but I said if they do this they're gonna create a chaotic situation where someone innocent is gonna get killed. And they did it."
Then FIGHT the cruelty. Do NOT sign this spending bill. I'm amazed you don't see the far-reaching consequences that your acquiescence on this will have. Are you so out of touch that you can't see that people's civil rights — even lives — are at stake here? Have you not read On Tyranny?

US Rep Al Green removed by Trump's Nazi while others sat and watched or jeer at him. He stood up to Trump and told him he had no mandate to disrupt Medicaid for millions of people. Make a list of which politicians you are going to keep. So far it's a short list. #3E #SOTU
This speech really sums up the manipulation, deception, exploitation, and overwhelm tactics of the administration as a whole. I honestly don’t know where to start. But his intentions for immigrants and trans people are clear and horrifying. #stateoftheunion
Nope, nothing to see here. All systems nrmol— I mean, nomral— I mean...
The 25% tax that President Donald Trump plans to slap on imports from Canada and Mexico as soon as Saturday could drive up the price of everything from gasoline and pickup trucks to Super Bowl party guacamole dip.
The tariffs would also invite retaliation.
California DOE fires back against Trump's executive order:
"It does nothing"
"It is against federal law for the White House to dictate what educators can and cannot teach"
Will not comply.
ynicism is first of all a style of presenting oneself, and it takes pride more than anything in not being fooled and not being foolish. But in the forms in which I encounter it, cynicism is frequently both these things. That the attitude that prides itself on world-weary experience is often so naïve says much about the triumph of style over substance, attitude over analysis. Maybe it also says something about the tendency to oversimplify. If simplification means reducing things to their essentials, oversimplification tosses aside the essential as well. It is a relentless pursuit of certainty and clarity in a world that generally offers neither, a desire to shove nuances and complexities into clear-cut binaries. Naïve cynicism concerns me because it flattens out the past and the future, and because it reduces the motivation to participate in public life, public discourse, and even intelligent conversation that distinguishes shades of gray, ambiguities and ambivalences, uncertainties, unknowns, and opportunities. Instead, we conduct our conversations like wars, and the heavy artillery of grim confidence is the weapon many reach for.
I'm exhausted by all the people out there who are trying to prove they're each the most cynical world-weary disillusioned person who's not gonna ever do a fucking thing ever except dump on everything and expect to be admired for that. Wrote about that in 2016:
A group of Democratic state attorneys general plan to file a lawsuit challenging the Trump administration's sweeping directive to temporarily freeze federal loans, grants and other financial assistance, New York state Attorney General Letitia James said reut.rs/3Ei0Wgc
Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul points out pause in funding would disrupt the Internet Crimes Against Children task force for catching child predators.
If you're in Illinois, you're on Section 8, and your landlord tries to evict you because of the government funding freeze, email me at sheryl@weikallaw.com. My cases are pay-whatever-you-can.
A widespread federal government hiring freeze imposed by President Donald Trump last week has upended the job market for a wide swath of law students interested in government careers reut.rs/3EbUE1j 1/5
And they're just getting started.
NEW: My staff has confirmed reports that Medicaid portals are down in all 50 states following last night's federal funding freeze. This is a blatant attempt to rip away health care from millions of Americans overnight and will get people killed.
As stigmatized as autistic people already are, I would still like to tell him to stop making us look bad.

Oh, so now you're calling him a Nazi?
Just bc he's an apartheid authoritarian who just gave 2 Nazi salutes after platforming antisemites and endorsing the AfD Nazis in Germany?
So much for the 'tolerant left.'
Okay, what the hell is this and why can’t I block or unfollow them?!?!
“We really can’t be certain it was a Nazi salute,” says everyone but the Nazis.
What the hell do you think he’s doing, @nytimes.com? Dabbing?
“You must not surrender.
You may or may not get there, but just know that you're qualified and hold on and hold out.
We must never surrender. America will get better and better.
Keep hope alive!”

Well, this is terrifying. Deleting the app now because honestly, this is just creepy and horrifying. I feel like I just saw a cockroach crawling across my pillow.
Skepticism is saying ghosts probably don’t exist.
Cynicism is saying that if ghosts do exist, they’re probably just as stupid as the living.
If I never smell brushfire smoke again, it’ll be too soon.
But I’m grateful our power, heat, phone reception, internet and hot water are back. While I’m still coughing, I’m grateful to not taste blood or vomit anymore. I’m grateful to have potable tap water, and that my home is still standing.
🙏 Zelensky: Russian missile strike on Ukraine, 93 missiles. There was at least one North Korean missile.
❗️We managed to shoot down 81 missiles, 11 cruise missiles were shot down by F-16s. Russians also used ~200 drones. One of the largest strikes on our energy sector.
