Headlines like “Has Woke Gone Too Far” or “Has ‘Me Too’ Gone Too Far” are a tell that those movements are just starting to take off. They are terrified of Black ethos breaking containment and so everything they can to shut down momentum.

Celebrities use the facade of neutrality as shelter, as a place to take refuge.

Every half-ass plan for our extinction that they provide just turns me on. No internet, you say? No online banking?? No 2FA to use the bathroom at my job??? Baby I was a latchkey kid in the 1980s. You’re describing my platonic ideal. Extinct me.

My health insurance provider is truly going to be the thing that makes me lose all my shit. We pay for this fuckshit and they deny every single claim because I have another insurance (WGA). WGA denies every single claim because I have my work insurance. I PAY FOR BOTH.

Even if you are 100% convinced that Democracy is already dead and our votes won't count... PLEASE VOTE ANYWAY! I'm begging everyone. There is a critical mass of voter turnout that will be too big to fix. Please vote, no matter how bleak it seems.

Niceness is like a candle. It provides a bit of light, but if you’re freezing, it’s not much help. Kindness is the warmth of a fireplace on a freezing cold night. Both are, well, nice… but one of them is necessary.

What’s so weird about men in power is how when they face scandal and should step down the world acts like no one else can do their jobs. Bottstein, Wasserman, these aren’t irreplaceable men! Stop with this delusion.

1. It was not an accident. 2. It was not a staffer. 3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia. 4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

It is really infuriating to see how misogyny really does unite men across the sociopolitical spectrum. And, in so far as the Epstein files go, they sort women into two categories: fuckable or irrelevant. When they near a hint of accountability they complain about not being able to make women prey.

Most people are pinning their last hopes on midterms. This has us in a holding pattern. But if Republicans really do pull this off, subvert the midterms... we will be left with a very angry majority who has nothing left to lose. We need to do everything we can now to make sure that doesn't happen.

Y’all want division to be THE problem because you don’t want to deal with the racists. Specifically the ones you know, love, and admire. Especially the one in your own heart. Unfortunately, that commitment to an only sometimes soothing delusion is powerful enough to break a nation.

…it should break your heart to kill.

Sadiq

It should make you shake and sweat, nightmare you, strand you in a desert of irrevocable desolation, the consequences seared into the vein, no matter what adrenaline feeds the muscle its courage, no matter what god shines down on you, no matter what crackling pain and anger you carry in your fists, my friend, it should break your heart to kill.

There is a book club organization out there emailing authors telling them the club will feature their work for a "modest fee" for "branded materials" etc. Do not fall for this nonsense. You should never, as a writer, have to pay for such things.

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.
