I'm here to crush fascists and watch cute animal videos, not necessarily in that order.

Ending this operation is not enough.
We need justice and accountability. That starts with independent investigations into the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, economic restitution for businesses impacted, abolishing ICE, and the impeachment of Kristi Noem.

In Dublin last year, an annoying interviewer demanded of me: “Your country has been overtaken by fascists. Why are you smiling?” I was too jetlagged to have a sensible answer so I said, “I’m smiling because I have a knife between my teeth.” The knife might look like this:
Auspicious Omens and Excellent Insubordination

It’s odd that the religious right is so upset about a halftime show that celebrated marriage, love, community, small business, hard work, and family. 🤔

Authoritarian regimes make you feel like shit because they will never admit they’re losing.
But Trump is losing — and it’s because of the organizing work you’re doing.

Bad Bunny didn’t just ask for a seat at the table.
He flipped it over and brought in a bigger one.
A new America is emerging with a more expansive view of patriotism, love of country and Americanness.
It’s coming! It’s here! Whether you like it or not.

I’m sorry, this is wild, wild stretch of a take to get from an article about expanded drink choices. Some of us get sick from caffeine. Don’t we deserve interesting, tasty drinks? Nobody’s coming to take your espresso, calm the eff down. What’s wrong with yall?

Everyone complicit in this moral horror needs to be prosecuted.
1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.
Hundreds of kids are still detained.
We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

Democrats spend too much time worrying about threats by Trump & GOP, and not enough time on offense. Hillary Clinton is demonstrating the type of pushback Democrats should use every day. On Thursday, Hillary effectively told GOP Rep. James Comer, “Put up or shut up.”
