The way he acted towards Trump after acknowledging in plain terms how unsuitable the man is to hold office shows how little his claimed moral principles mattered to him. For these reasons, the world is better off without Lindsey Graham. I won't mourn him, but I wish his family my best. /3

But those moments of decency were buried beneath what he would do to obtain power. He was willing to be vile towards and hurt good people in order to elevate himself. Even beyond his support for harmful policies, his actions show his personal moral failings. 2/

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/

I know Obama has a nuanced and deep understanding of constitutional law, but can he recognize a picture of a giraffe?

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.

A search on Audible doesn't return any titles he has provided narration for done by Audible studios. It's all a bunch of weird indie published books that are self published there.

Utopian visions held by authoritarians can only be realized over the broken bodies of those who disagree with them, and that goes for auth leftists and rightists. They'll work together until it's time for them to turn on each other, just like they did in 1939 to start WW2.

Authoritarians, left or right, are not your friends. Tankies might be less of a threat than fascists, but the left tread of the tank is just as dangerous as the right tread as it rolls towards you and your family. 2/

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.

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" 🎻

Placing tariffs on the things American companies need to get in order to manufacture goods is one of the most idiotic ways to destroy a strong economy Anyways, the orange moron put surprise 25% tariffs on steel and aluminum. Can anyone explain to me how that's going to drive down the price of eggs

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 […]

Now, every shipment of sold goods from China, even small parcels sold to an individual, must include full customs paperwork and payment for tariffs. Yes, this is going to slow down everything. Shipments will eventually resume, but when they do, it'll be more expensive and slower.

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.
