El-Sayed: JD Vance called me a little weasel today. No, what you’re talking about is a fucking wolverine.

Thanks! As a longtime HS coach I couldn’t agree more. Especially on my level the most important goals of sports participation are social/emotional. The stakes of winning, while of seeming importance to some, are actually quite low.

By the time you realize you made a strategic error, it’s often too late. America’s strategic error was electing a government that promised racism and incompetence because electing a Black woman was a bridge too far. It’s FAFO season, America.

If you have enough money that you can blow $100,000,000 on avoiding taxes, you have enough money to pay $100,000,000 *on* taxes that will help your fellow citizens, you self-centered prick.

It's because literally every woman in her 30s has, unless she has been *exceptionally* lucky, a dozen stories of sexist medical gaslighting if she's abled and an uncountable number of stories of medical gaslighting if she's disabled.

To be excrutiatingly clear, I am opposed to transphobia for its own sake. I just think that we need to understand people who say they want to "protect" women's sports are LIARS. Most anti-trans people also loathe women's sports. They want women to be weak, not strong.

Dead or alive, Mitch McConnell is on extended medical leave β€” on your dime. This is the same Mitch McConnell who voted against: paid family and medical leave for everyone else.

This has been the most spiritually bankrupt celebration of anything I've ever seen and that's it, that's our 250th. We don't get to go back and redo it, this one's in the books: Temu Arch, cheesy architecture, horrible displays, AI everywhere. Far right propaganda. Jokes at our expense

Step 1: Brag that Trump was fixing something Obama screwed up Step 2: Pursue most corrupt solution possible Step 3: As a result, badly fuck up Step 4: Loudly squeal that someone else sabotaged you, so as to dodge blame Whether it's the reflecting pool or Iran, Trump's con is the same.

There’s a saying passed down from earlier generations of Black Texans who were there for the first Juneteenth: β€œIt was not a piece of paper that freed the slaves, but the men with the guns.”

We dont always have to go back 100 years to talk about these. We can go back only a few. And the killer didnt die in 1931. or, he aint 97 years old from Jom Crow America. Dylann Roof is only 32. Charleston was 11 years ago today

Listened to an NPR story this morning about mass child starvation in Senegal without a single mention of Elon Musk, the guy who gleefully created the conditions for the mass starvation

All we have to do is LIFT THE FREAKING CAP! Of all the problems facing the US, fixing Social Security is the easiest. They just won't do it because rich people would have to pay a little more. There's ways to make it fair. How about for all income over $200K we pay 2% instead of nothing?
