Marjorie Taylor Greene has been hated by the left for years and never feared for her life. She’s been hated by the right for two days and had to hire security.

Women are watching abusive dynamics play out on the national stage and for many it feels very, very familiar to what they’ve experienced regularly— I hope midterms are a referendum

Blegh. This is so cheap-feeling. Moana was so good I took *myself* to see it twice in the theatre, alone, after taking my kid one weekend. Listened to the soundtrack on repeat. It was perfect (same with Coco).

The Founders were so concerned about bribery that the Constitution forbids it three separate times. Two emoluments clauses ban officials—unambiguously including the president—from accepting things of value, plus bribery is the only named impeachable offense besides treason. Unprecedentedly corrupt.

This story does a good job of arguing that there’s nothing happening to men that isn’t happening to everyone else. It’s just that this is the first time a broken system has caught up with men, and unlike the rest of us, they don’t know how to cope with the system being against them.

The Honduran-born Charlotte resident filed a police report after the officers let him go. Racial profiling, no warrant, no due process; but what else can one expect from a regime committing extrajudicial murder on the high seas? Trump's gotta go.

Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year. UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year. Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.
