🧵🧵🧵 I was going to write a simple sentence about the madness of the moment, but I got distracted by the U.S. president’s complaint that he was screwed out of the Nobel Peace Prize after bombing multiple countries, and then he bolstered his case with a plan to execute a guy in a wheelchair and ...

So, the reason we mock horrible fascists is not to make fascists change their minds. It is to show they are mockable. It breaks the veneer of respectability and power. It gives others social permission to mock them. Satire is poisonous to power because it makes opposition both fun and collaborative.

This is incredible and I hope this caring soul tells the story just exactly like this to HR.
Am I wrong for removing a wheelchair user from an elevator when I thought it might snap?
Context: I grew up in a small town and only ever really used elevators at the mall. I now live in a big city and take one every day at work.
Me and a bunch of other people, including a wheelchair user, were waiting to use the elevator at my work and all got on at once. A sign came on in red lights saying that we were over the elevator's weight capacity and the doors stated open. Since I mostly know about elevators from movies before this year, my first thought was that this was an emergency where the cable could snap.
I pride myselt in caring for others and my first reaction was to assist the person who was least able to help themselves by removing her from danger. I gently pushed her off and the warning light went off and the doors closed, carrying the rest of us all to the floors we punched in.
She was very upset about this and reported me to HR.
They called me in on Monday and had me take the week off and I explained everything. They said they'll talk to me this following Monday.
I feel like I might be about to get fired for trying to be a good Samaritan. Am I in the wrong?

Ossoff: "I think Pete Hegseth is frankly a deeply unwell person who seems to relish this kind of brutality all the while he's running a department that is falling into chaos. The guy cannot run the military competently and is spending his time with this kind of obscene medieval spectacle."

A cop warns on the price of witnessing death.
As a homicide detective, I can say with all of my being that there is no lesson learned in seeing someone die. But there is a price. And that price is your peace. Your decency. And the soul of our society.
We don't have to be this way, this fake tough but real ugly way. Stop

Hegseth is an extremely violent and deeply disturbed man and I will not be surprised at all if he becomes a serial killer or a spree shooter if he's given the chance to live as a free man when this administration has ended.

Horrifying: Arizona Democratic congressional candidate Bernadette Greene-Placentia was raped by a man after he knocked her out. Another man approached her to do the same. “She began swinging her foot at him. ‘Not even worth it,’ she heard the man say as he moved away.”

Sometimes my wife and I like to send each other text messages as though they’re democratic fundraising messages, and I believe she has produced the jewel of the form.
, it's
and I
have some personal news to share with you.
Being a mom is one of the greatest joys of my life, and I feel deeply that we should have salad tonight
This year has been challenging in many ways, and I have immense gratitude for the kindness and support of family, community, and people like you who have continued to stand by me through everything. It means the world, and I wanted you to be among the first to know that squash is in the oven and kale is in the fridge.As many of you are aware, ve been navigating one of the most challenging periods of my day while waiting for dinner.
Facing baseless federal hunger brought on by not eating since lunch, fighting for the working kids of this country, and now caring for a mean toddler and helping him grow up in a world that isn't always easy. But it has also reminded me exactly why I do this work and who I do it for.
I will never stop working to eat dinner. I will never stop fighting for what is right, even when there is also some feta in the fridge. And I will never stop being so very thankful that you are by my side in this important work and that there is tahini in the pantry for dressing
With love and gratitude,
stop to end

We are more than a decade deep in the Trump Era and I have not yet been failed by interpreting the actual words he says by their plain meanings. On the other hand, I have watched countless people be led astray by insisting upon running his words through a Trump-to-rational-person translator.
