February reading wrap up

Post a pic you took, no context, to bring some zen to the feed.

How 'Wine Moms' Entered the Conversation about ICE The insult wielded against protesters taps into a long tradition of casting wine drinkers as out of touch elitists.

The NYT has no equal when it comes to confidently misunderstanding online discourse

Bush's cat-like dodging reflexes here were, for me, the high point of his presidency

Also clearly the greatest press conference of all time

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.

Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they? Hello?

it’s even more demoralizing when the history you’re repeating is history you were around for the first time

It really is just like 2003 again except now I’m older, my back hurts, and I have way, way less hope that things will ever get better.

This is yet another good example of why men are too emotional to be in leadership.

the enemy of my enemy is not my friend but watching them smack each other in the nuts is still very funny

Disabled protestors are why we have the ADA in the first place. We can learn a lot from disability justice past and present. Listen to disabled folks!

It is amazing to me that Dems are pressured to water down their messaging in order to avoid alienating 'centrists,' but Republicans can round up and deport sobbing children without fear of alienating 'centrists.' Says a lot about what we mean when we say 'centrists'

Another day, another 3 more calls to my reps about Medicaid.

sometimes I truly feel like I am losing my mind that so many people are still so earnestly justifying or downplaying this all as fine

It's hard to adequately describe how scary it is to watch mainstream political journalists barely push back against a sitting U.S. president accepting a $400M plane from a foreign government that would literally be designated as an emergency command-and-control center during a nuclear war.
