Will there be Tylenol in Valhalla?
The elephant we’re all talking around is the fear that this incident will be used by the current administration to begin a wave of violent repression using the National Guard it’s already mobilizing in cities and the newly empowered Department of Homeland Security.
If you’re Brown and doing a home renovation, you now have to carry your birth certificate to Home Depot.
If I win the lottery, you will absolutely know. I will collect it publicly, in an ostentatious manner. And then I’ll launch a SuperPac.
Gen Z and Gen Alpha AND Millennials can’t all look 35 somethings gotta give

The fact that Trump actually LISTENS to this extremist nutjob tells you everything you need to know about Trump. bluevirginia.us/2025/09/sen-... h/t @thestefansmith.bsky.social
His health is declining without an heir and he’s hiding it with bad makeup that doesn’t match their undertones? It’s not authoritarianism, it’s Elizabethan.

A sick president? A close circle of advisors limiting access? An ambitious VP who may or may not be ready for the top of the ticket? Al*x Th*mpson, that’s your music buddy

This story being the entire metaphor and emotional anchor of my NetRoots panel is wild
My dear friend @thestefansmith.bsky.social has been suggesting that we bring back monasticism in a non-religious form to accommodate rising numbers of unpartnered men. Don’t be an incel, be a volcel, and watch the world improve
