Not sure any TV series shaped me as a young pop culture obsessive more than The Twilight Zone. And I’m excited to start diving deep into the episodes.

The truth of this story is that they are arguing that people defending themselves and their neighbors from jackbooted thugs justifies sending more jackbooted thugs to Chicago.

It really can't be said enough: the goal of the "anti-woke" movement was always to destroy social norms against bigotry. And it worked. And there's a whole lot of purportedly "left" thinkers & commentators who helped it -- indeed, it couldn't have been done without them. They should feel bad.

Nothing he says here is true. Nor is the chyron. Why does the mainstream media even exist if nobody is going to call out the fact that he is blatantly lying? Also, for the record, stores are opening in both Chicago and Portland, despite him saying that nobody has stores in those places anymore.

I've lived in Chicago at two different times and can say, in no uncertain terms, that the biggest cause of crime in Chicago right now are the federal shock troops that are there, not the people of Chicago.

another data point of a Dem MORE popular on trans issues than they are in the abstract. As with abortion, the theory of a socially conservative electorate before whom libs must cringe is simply not borne out in general.

What the fuck is wrong with this guy? "They don't even have stores anymore"? What about one of the most famous bookstores in the country? Or Voodoo Donuts? Or 1000s of other places but I prefer to think about books and donuts, so I'll focus on those two.

I've never fought in a war, thank goodness, but I'm pretty sure that this isn't what a warzone looks like. I may be wrong. I'm sure that a woman who, as governor, was banned from setting foot in a large portion of her state knows a warzone better than me.

Because it feels relevant as we continue to evaluate the media and our representatives’ statements, my favorite way to identify the active vs. passive voice.

A post by Rebecca Johnson:
“I finally learned how to teach my guys to ID the passive voice. If you can insert "by zombies" after the verb, you have passive voice.”

A tumblr respond from mightymur:
“The final, brilliant word on passive voice.
"She was killed [by zombies.]"<--passive
"Zombies killed [by zombies] her." <-- active”

This is a direct result of Trumpism, if you ask me. I don't know if my parents would accept my trans/enby identity, My mom died many years before I came out and don't speak to my dad. However, I do know that I have had limited contact with my extended family since coming out, so that says something.

I'm pretty sure that if he's looking for "demented souls" that actually "seek to kill, steal, and destroy our country" that the call is coming from inside the house. I may not love the Democratic party all the time, but they have not invaded multiple cities to squash any opposition.
