I've spent today thinking about how I should talk about Lindsey Graham's death, because I did want to say something. It is this. Lindsey Graham had a good person inside of him. He genuinely felt for people, and there's evidence he knew what right and wrong are. 1/

In a free society, no one should be subjected to legal repercussions for simply disagreeing with people in power. The ability to disagree with the policies of our government is so critical that it is the cornerstone of the First Amendment and the very existence of liberal democracy. #mahmoudkhalil

Trump's shameful behavior towards President Zelensky and his surrender to Putin makes Neville Chamberlain look like a strong leader. I am ashamed to have such a stupid, doddering fool and coward as my President.

Be careful of any "leftist" who spends their time criticizing liberals and not conservatives. They are likely authoritarians and are not actually interested in positive change. They want power and are happy to carry water for the fascists to get it. Remember, Stalin was Hitler's ally. 1/

As a parent of two small children, any parent who chooses not to vaccinate because of a non-medical reason is dangerously negligent. Measles, whooping cough, COVID, chickenpox, hepatitis, and all the other diseases covered by childhood vaccinations can maim, kill, or lead to lifelong illness.

If Donald Trump wants to be Saddam Hussein, we could treat him like Saddam Hussein.

Blaming Democrats for being constrained by reality is like attacking a fireman because you burned your own house down and they weren't able to stop it

Imagine being such a clueless idiot that you'd vote for someone promising massive cuts to government and then be surprised when your government employee husband gets canned "I didn't think the face-eating leopards would eat MY face! I'm not a line item, I'm a REAL PERSON" 🎻

Jealous Trump Boys Try To Convince Father That Barron A DEI
WASHINGTON—Whining that they were being discriminated against even though they were the “bestest sons ever in the whole wide world,” the Trump Boys attempted Thursday to convince their father that Barron was getting unfair advantages because he was a DEI. “Daddy, Barron is ruining our lives because he’s different,” said a pouting Donald Jr., who […]

Some perspective from a mail carrier. Yes, that's my day job. There's been a thing called a de minimis exemption for customs duties. Any shipment worth less than $800 qualifies. The latest round of tariffs from the Mango Mussolini killed that exemption. That's almost certainly the cause.

If someone born with a penis has he/him in their bio, they're a woman? If someone born with a penis has she/her in their bio, they're a man? Conservatives tell us that we are confused about gender, but it seems like they're the ones who can't figure it out.

Trudeau's speech here is powerful and worth a watch. He highlights how Canada has stood by the US for centuries, and how the betrayal of Trump's trade war harms that friendship with no provocation.

If you think inflation between 2020-2022 was bad, buckle up for the amount of inflation American consumers will face when Trump's endless trade wars cause a flight from the dollar in favor of the yuan or euro It can get very, very bad.

It's completely reasonable to expect that police spend their time making us safer and hold themselves to a high standard of behavior, especially when use of force is involved. Maybe people would like them more if seeing a cop car made us all feel more safe, and not less.

Amid all the furor over the pausing of grants, remember that the guidelines Trump admin officials are following for whether to approve continuing funding is simply political correctness. Seriously. That's the criteria they're following.
