i know a total boycott isn't practical for a lot of folks, but we can only do whatever we can do if we know what's going on.

this is a quiet emergency which should be louder. please, if you know anyone who relies on mail-in ballots, get this message to them.

senator graham was a hateful person who chose to spend his time in office punching down and diminishing the rights and freedoms of people he just didn't like very much. i celebrate his death. not to be cruel, but because it means he won't be able to hurt people anymore.

i know this doesn't matter to the people in power, but i have to speak up when it matters to me. this contractor should be put out of business instantly. their assets should be transferred to the tohono o'odham nation as the smallest shred of reparations. i mean just, what the fuck you guys.

if only there were some way for cars to, like, *indicate* that they were planning to turn to the left or the right. so that people could know about it before it happens. at 75 mph. six feet away. #newjersey

i had to park my car in a garage that offered an app for easier payment. ok fine. but then i received an email inviting me to a parking technology conference. that such a conference even exists is about as good an indictment of the modern world as i can think of.

drawback of living in a small town in a rural area: heavy snowfall means driveway needs shoveling. advantage of living in a small town in a rural area: enterprising teenagers with limitless energy will knock on your door and shovel your driveway for “twenty bucks. or whatever.”

instead of saying this was good strategy, maybe senate dems should say: "the republicans were going to kill people by starving them to death, and because we aren't monsters, we decided to let this fight go. We'll keep fighting. Stop electing monsters."

i’d really like to see the media and the democratic leadership wake up to the entirely basic fact that we win when we run candidates who are younger than 50 and who relentlessly stick to a policy platform of being nice to people and trying to help them.

oh, is someone feeling a little concerned about younger, smarter, more relatable democratic candidates?
