this morning, mamdani’s team got in touch with me to float a new tax proposal: if your net worth exceeds $5 million and you dress badly, you’ll be hit with a 10% annual levy for “visual pollution.” i would be in charge of deciding if the outfits are bad.
if you don’t like the process of writing then don’t be a fucking writer, it’s not that complicated
Wow
The kids, my friends, are alright. This is… unbelievably great.
youtu.be/Te1HkBx7rDw?...
So true
Trump is a stupid, evil motherfucker. Cuba, now?
This.
I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is
The only good thing to come out of the Fairness Doctrine
youtu.be/GQppLas38uI?...
A culture that considers itself the only true “heritage” of a society is a culture that is inbred and diseased. It needs to go.
A culture that protects affluent powerful perps over the victims they assaulted, abused, and/or killed is a culture that must die.
Is that culture being replaced? Yes.
I honestly don’t give a shit what Trump spews. The show was insanely great. And truly American.
Right? It worked well for
Me.
Just a quick update from the Twin Cities. (Please forgive the unsolicited message). THINGS ARE NOT BETTER IN MINNEAPOLIS. The media is mostly moving on, Trump is focused on other stuff, BUT NOTHING HAS CHANGED ON THE GROUND. More than 2,000 DHS thugs continue to roam the streets, abducting people 24/7, assaulting legal observers with impunity, and routinely denying 1st, 4th, and 5th amendment rights. Drones and helicopters are overhead every day. Hundreds and hundreds of terrified families have not left their homes since mid-December ... relying on the community to bring them food and help with rent and other necessities. (Those people are NOT violent drug cartel sex offending murderers, as DHS would tell you. Most are legal residents or citizens.) If anything, things have just become more stressful and intractable (think trench warfare as a suitable metaphor): The resistance is better organized and numerous, but DHS has become more clever and better at disguise... and the county sheriff's office is increasingly supporting them . Do not let anyone tell you that Homans (the new person in charge of the occupation) is making anything better. Do not let anyone tell you that 700 ICE agents leaving the city has made much of a difference; the remaining force (again, ~2,000) is still larger than the entire city's police force (which is legally unable to do anything). Please call your congressional reps ... especially if there is any chance the administration might listen to them.
A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:
Read it all please.
It’s time to tap into your internal lesbian anger! Even if you’re straight. Now is the time to fight for your 1st Amendment rights! Let’s go!
Weak people with guns.
The only president to keep the Patriots out of the Super Bowl this century? Joe Biden
Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.
“The federal government is no longer bound by law. If agents of the state may kill people in public without being investigated; if they have—again, per VP Vance—“absolute immunity” from prosecution then we are living in an authoritarian regime.”

Small-d “blame the victim” vibes.
Small D motherfuckers.
They’ll keep killing until we stop calling them killers? Tom, put down the glass and sober up.
Impeach. Convict. Remove.
Indict. Convict. Jail.
Repeat.
What the actual fuck? How many crimes does it take with this fucking guy?
The writers had one idea: what if there was a Buddhist Rapture? and then blew it. I was done at Soylent Green but ep 7 was ridiculous.
I will say the goat in the last episode was the most real thing in the series.
I won’t be watching the new seasons.
Refusing to be joined in Pluribus specifically because I don't want to share a mind with Stephen Miller. Fuck that guy
