You can't fake this.

You can't even buy your way into this.

“.. This is X in 2025: Potentially fake accounts crying at other potentially fake accounts that they aren’t real, all while refusing to acknowledge that they themselves aren’t who they say they are — a Russian nesting doll of bullshit.”

Trump is pathetically weak on Russia, which says even more about his ignorant followers than it does about him.

Why does Southwest Mitsubishi still have a new 2023 Outlander PHEV for sale at $41K? And 16 2024 Mirages at ~$19K? The optics are bad, and the dealers aren't helping. I love Mitsu, but how do they last until 2026? I can't see how.

MEMPHIS — @GovBillLee claims their occupying force arrested 850 “VIOLENT CRIMINALS”

Buuuut mayor @LeeHarrisfor901 says the highest category is “IMMIGRATION/ADMINISTRATIVE”🤔

🚨 One Lee is lying!🚨(HINT: IT’S BILL. We saw the numbers.)

And yes, they are racially profiling👇🏽

Plastic maniac Kristi Noem is a literal fascist, an animal abuser, a science denier, a white supremacist and an egomaniacal psycho who needs to stay the hell off airport television screens.

I will NEVER forgive Republican voters who wrought this daily onslaught upon us.

THANK YOU to the veterans who protected and respected gay servicemembers during Don't Ask, Don't Tell, which was only repealed in 2011 and remains under threat today. So heartened and grateful that my friends who served under DADT were solid allies to gay people in their ranks.

Not ready to detail the psychological abuse I endured from my second and third grade teachers, but I *am* ready to acknowledge that it happened and that it absolutely was just that: abuse.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

Binging "Boots" on Netflix, dredging up memories of more than one closeted firefighter for whom I was not manly enough. Everyone will get something different out of this accessible series — a reminder of how unsafe the world was for LGBT+ people not all that long ago.

The next Democratic president should declare that the National Emergencies Act and Article II of the Constitution allow him to:

•admit D.C. and Puerto Rico as states
•abolish ICE
•grant citizenship to any immigrant
•disband the 5th Circuit
•expand the Supreme Court

Seriously: Why the hell not?

Unfortunately, my small collection of cool cars won't make up for the uncomfortable discussions of our descent into fascism and/or flirtation with you/your dad

Hey, ex-best-friend: thanks a lot for voting to make Spanish-speakers pariahs in the public sphere. You said Trump wouldn't make Hispanic people unsafe, but of course you were blind to reality because you've never personally been brown. Anyway sorry your kid's gonna grow up in fascism

Sorry you're in Friend Purgatory, but you can't handle my posts as we descend into full fascism

"Mental health" conversations are largely just platitudes and almost always titrate clinical-grade hypocrisy. "Support the troops" but vote against the most vulnerable servicemembers. "Reach out" but close the door when someone does. Pretend mental health is important but bully everyone. Tiring.

My uncontrollable acknowledgement of reality has made my observant presence an inconvenient burden to most people (who I don't care about) but also unfortunately some people I do care deeply about, too.

Why do you want to follow me if you voted against my rights? 🙃

Somebody tell the open-headers Lexus IS that sounding like a loud and shitty broken Mustang isn't a flex.
