What the hell???? Fox News says viscous things every day about democrats and others they dislike- including killing homeless people - during their “newscasts”. Jimmy is a COMEDIAN.

He just dropped $280,000,000 worth of artillery in a war that’s not ours, but our grandparents have to live on Ramen noodles because America can’t afford Meals on Wheels anymore. Make it make sense.

I don't know what Congress people need to hear this, but weak "decorous" opposition is insufficient to meet this moment. I don't care if you flip him off and then walk out, or throw a pie at him, or what, but just refusing to clap or wearing a particular color to symbolize opposition is not enough.

It’s the people who love and defend him no matter what that are keeping us twisting in a hellscape while they lecture about how he does what he says and is the greatest president ever

MY LITTLE GOLDEN BOOK ABOUT PRIDE comes out today and I'm feeling extremely Ralph Wiggum "I'm in danger" about it. It's beautiful though and I love it no matter what they say

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)
KNOW YOUR
RIGHTS
IN CASE OF ICE:
CONOCE TUS DERECHOS
EN CASO DE ENCUENTRO CON ICE:DO NOT OPEN YOUR DOOR.
ICE cannot enter your home without a warrant signed by a judge.
Tell the agents to show you the warrant by sliding it under the door.
NO ABRAS TU PUERTA.
ICE no puede entrar a tu casa sin una orden firmada por un juez. Diles a los agentes que te muestren la orden deslizándola debajo de la puerta.ASK THEM
TO LEAVE.
If ICE doesn't have a warrant, tell them you do not consent for them to enter your home and ask them to leave. At work, ICE cannot enter employee-only areas without permission.
2
PÍDALES QUE SE VAYAN.
Si ICE no tiene una orden judicial, diles que no das tu consentimiento para que entren a tu casa y pídeles que se vayan. En el trabajo, ICE no puede ingresar a áreas exclusivas para empleados sin permiso.REMAIN SILENT.
You have the right to remain silent.
If the agents ask you questions, tell them,
"I wish to remain silent."
PERMANECE EN SILENCIO.
Tienes derecho a permanecer en silencio.
Si los agentes te hacen preguntas, diles:
"Deseo permanecer en silencio".

Unfortunately this won’t scare him. He is used to taking big bets, losing out for awhile and then getting gains in the end. I’m sure what he is planning is rigged for unprecedented gains for him.

Learning to code. I realized that everything really is figure out-able and that we seriously can make a brand new world in not that much time. We don’t have to be overwhelmed if we are too busy learning, growing, building, deploying, iterating.

Evolving to be a social species. You can build anything, but you can’t make real culture without sharing with others. In many cases, being social is literally the difference between living and healing or dying on the savanna alone. Still applies today.

Peace. Freedom only matters if you know how to have some peace, or else it will get taken. Whereas, even if you lose your freedom but maintain your peace, you can get it your freedom back.

Fall. Because you can call it autumn, because I love wearing layers. Because I live in a place that is hot and humid for most of that time and we get about 2 weeks where I can blissfully wear a light coat and boots and not look ridiculous.
