I always acknowledged the possibility that this nation's decline could happen within the lifetime of my children. But I really did not think it would happen within the lifetime of my cats.

Fifty years ago it was kind of a big deal that we had a presidential candidate who listened to Bob Dylan.

Damn.

They don’t get it but Obama tricked Republicans into defending Saddam Hussein.

I don't know that there is a definitive line to cross that makes you say, "I live in a police state now" but when masked gunmen can routinely brutalize the public, citizen or immigrant alike, with impunity, you have reached that point.

Any politician who’s willing to throw away one group’s rights is willing to throw away everyone’s rights. It’s that simple. Every single consultant, pundit and candidate who’s shown a willingness to abandon trans rights needs to be shunned from the party forever

The Internet has fulfilled its purpose, and will now close.

Seems like the Trump White House agrees with everyone who says the Trump White House had committed countless crimes

I think maybe Furies as well...

Trump is repeating his threats to remove Ilhan Omar from Congress. They’re trying to concoct some fake reason to denaturalize her and put her in prison or deport her. I feel like I’m going insane watching this happen in the US.

Assuming certain people do actually encounter the Founders in an afterlife, here's how it's likely to go: "We wrote it all down, you assholes! What is fucking WRONG with you???"

Pretty much, yeah.

Dogs are excellent judges of character.

If you think a test for dementia is an IQ test, you have dementia. If you don't realize you have been given a test for dementia because your physician suspects you have dementia, you have dementia. If you think being able to tell a giraffe from a whale makes you a genius . . . you have dementia.

The fact that Amy Acton was removed from her mother’s care and went on to obtain an MD and flourish in public health makes her even more of a hero in my eyes. This type of trauma never really goes away. Yet when there was a fork in the road, she chose the one where she helps others. Hero.

This election is fundamentally about whether human beings have rights or not. Let's make that clear with our votes - in their quantity, selection & the message we send along with them.

If we tax Elon Musk and his fellow billionaires appropriately, every child in America can have healthcare, education, and a well funded social safety net instead of some racist billionaire’s pathetic pr stunt

Now is the time to care about everyone, not “once we win” The time to care about everyone is always always always now

Trump has done more to weaken our national security than any American leader since Jefferson Davis.

This is Jonesy and Nora. They will be six months old this Tuesday. They currently run the joint... #Caturday

Americans, please don’t worry about your child coming home from school a different sex. Worry about your child not coming home from school because they were shot to death.

Putin has incomparably more influence in the West Wing than he has in eastern Ukraine. Indeed, his only hope in eastern Ukraine sits in the West Wing.

I know this will be news to many Americans, but Donald Trump is a Kremlin asset, useful idiot, and Putin lapdog.

The interesting thing about Elon‘s rocket car is that he’s a war criminal 

One way you know Donald Trump hates American history is that he thinks Donald Trump should be president.

Heh

it's pretty f'd up that the Trump administration is trying to deport my duly-elected member of Congress

I just cleared out the contacts list on my phone. Surprising number of dead people. And an inordinate number of people named Eric.

every single thing Trump has done since coming down that escalator has been to help Putin but he just did a few head fakes to throw people off the scent

REMINDER: Nazi Germany officially adopted Christianity as its national religion. Looking at you, Pete Hegseth.

Ossoff: "In my view, based upon the evidence I've seen thus far, the president's misconduct, abuse of power, and corruption, already exceed any prior standard for impeachment."

If this isn't the most beautiful piece of music ever, it certainly has to be in the running. youtu.be/tfbaNO68c9Q?...
