As a former teacher, I never scrubbed in for a gender reassignment surgery, but I did instruct the kids on how to get the window screens off in case of an active shooter…

Trump: "I will be a dictator on day one!" MAGA: "Why can't you take a joke?" Obama: "The White House looks like Saddam Hussein opened a Cheese Cake Factory." MAGA: "Arrrrrrrggggggghhhhh!"

The conservative Heritage Foundation has looked into this. Repeatedly. Fewer than a hundred noncitizens have successfully voted in presidential or midterm elections since 1982. That’s a frequency of 1 in 23 million.

Four brothers went to war against Hitler. Three were killed. The fourth survived, and his grandson, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, is the president of Ukraine. Zelensky comes from a family that fought tyrants: Trump negotiates with them while demanding concessions from their victims.

He’s mad our country is run by crooks and murderers and so am I. I’m no longer interested in negotiating with these people and neither is he.

Figuring out why Ossoff is so effective is an interesting task. I think he's mastering a kind of stern dignity that is uniquely compelling in contrast to the clownish cruelty of the other side. I think the other person who's kind of hit on the same thing is AOC, though in a different register

Pretty wild to see Alito describe reliance on Obergefell as "much more concrete" than reliance on Roe v. Wade, because Roe was merely about "women's ideas about the kind of society that they were going to live in." If it's a Ladies Issue, he just doesn't give a shit. www.cbsnews.com/news/samuel-...

Replying to @mayor.nyc.gov

thank you for standing with survivors of S.A. All these men out here complaining about how she deserved it because she was drunk need to be put in prison with a serial rapist that doesn't give a shit about their bodily autonomy.

My hot take for today: ALL fraternities should be abolished. We don’t need them. Nothing good happens within them. Any perceived value they provide can be found elsewhere.

it didn't even occur to me that the government might try to execute someone a second time if they torture the person but fail to kill them during a first botched attempt. truly grotesque and a moral stain upon all involved.
