History tells us that if you don't beat Nazis at the ballot box, the time will come when you must beat them with a rifle butt.

🧵ICE cut off her wedding ring.
Sue Tincher is a 55-year-old US citizen, a grandmother, 5’4’, and white.
She walked to her neighbor’s house after getting alerts that ICE was nearby.
She stood across the street and asked an officer if they were ICE. They told her to “get back.” She didn’t move.

Raising the always fun question: What are your most memorable theater-going experiences?
Mine also include The Matrix, Blair Witch, and being way too stoned in Belgium when Fellowship of the Ring was sold out so we sat in the back row for Mulholland Drive instead.

It was hands-down one of the most memorable theater-going experiences I can remember, a collective 30-minute butt-clench/armrest-grab for the final climb. And we knew he lived! Wild.

Millions of Americans are about to see their healthcare costs skyrocket, and Republicans in Congress just let it happen. Extending ACA credits should've been the easiest decision in the world.

Dear the media,
When the US president claims he brokered a peace deal in a place with active combat—eg Rwanda and Congo—the story is (1) fighting rages on, and (2) US president lies.
The story is not “president touts historic peace deal.” A peace deal involves peace.
Sincerely,
Factual reality

Couple of things here:
1. Trump says he took another cognitive test recently
2. In front of "large numbers of doctors and experts"
3. He called the examinations "long...and very boring"
4. If you're given 3 cognitive exams in one year by panels of doctors, something is VERY wrong with you
