Justice, tempered by Mercy; Anger, tempered by Snark. Amateur Everything. Chronic insomniac. Aggressively progressive. Hopeful cynic. A lie has speed; truth has endurance. If I can't set a good example, then I'll serve as a cautionary tale.

We are watching one of the wildest things a nation-state has ever done: A superpower is committing suicide because the GOP Congress is too cowardly to stand up to the Mad King.

This is one of the wildest moments in all of geopolitics ever.

The other day I bitched that people always forget LaMonica McIver in their list of politicized prosecutions.

The New Yorker has a profile here, so hopefully we can change that.

LaMonica McIver went to tour an immigration jail in her district. Now she faces seventeen years in prison.

I'm gonna wait 'til the stars come out

And see that twinkle in your eyes

I'm gonna wait 'til the midnight hour

That's when my love begins to shine

You're the only girl I know

That really love me so

In the midnight hour

Oh yeah in the midnight hour

The Stephen Miller/Star Trek thing is an opportunity to point out that left-leaning ideals have been around, and popular, forever.

If you wake up and don't want to smile

If it takes just a little while

Open your eyes and look at the day

You'll see things in a different way

Don't stop thinking about tomorrow

Don't stop it'll soon be here

It'll be here better than before

Yesterday's gone yesterday's gone

it's time for hackers to unite and take this app down! ✊🏼

"We now have information on the app that ICE agents are using, and it’s built by Palantir. The app gives them a map with potential targets that even comes with “confidence scores”. #palantir #icearrests #FuckIce #surveillance #FDT

i think this MLK day the thing to focus on is the strategic focus and tactical brilliance of the civil rights movement and the way it was laser focused on a set of achievable goals

You made my life so rich

You know you could have been some money

And baby you're so sweet

You know you could have been some honey

Well you could have been anything that you wanted to

And I can tell the way you do the things you do
