We need Colbert’s bold and frank commentary now as much as ever, and we need to stop corporations like CBS from cowing to political intimidation of this administration. Add your name to the petition to demand they reverse their decision and keep Colbert on air! sign.moveon.org/petitions/co...

Some people won’t understand your journey or your healing process. That’s ok. Let them perceive you however they do. You don’t have to over-explain yourself; just be.

Ok so there’s having pride in your country vs being prideful. Which is one of the seven deadly sins, hellurrr
This administration is prideful to the point of straight narcissism.

If your first instinct is to go against something you don’t understand, check yourself. Be curious instead of defensive. Think critically, ask questions. You don’t have to have an official opinion or statement on every single thing. Allow yourself to take in new information that challenges you

“Our own people” WE’RE ALL THE SAME. ALL PEOPLE ARE ONE.
When I interviewed KKK leaders in Arkansas, this is what they said too. “We don’t hate anyone. We just love our own people.” Then they burned a cross.
“Social solidarity is destroyed when you have too much migration too quickly,” JD Vance tells our columnist Ross Douthat in this episode of “Interesting Times.” “That’s not because I hate the migrants or I’m motivated by grievance. That’s because I’m trying to preserve something in my own country.”

The house has passed a ban on coverage of gender care for all ages under Medicaid, CHIP and ACA plans. I don't know what to say to anyone this morning other than that the hundreds of thousands of people who are about to lose access to the care they need to stay alive deserve better than silence.

I guess the US ending up with a 4Chan administration that gets all its ideas from the worst people on the internet is a lesson in just how silly everything can get when we allow dangerous, intellectually dishonest people to think their opinions are valuable.

To be so for real, fuck everyone who gaslit me for being scared of pregnancy during this time. There’s a woman being forced to remain on life support to sustain her pregnancy — effectively using her body as a vessel despite the absence of brain activity come the FUCK on
