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:

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. 🧵

Bad Bunny's performance is going to go in the history books. Total show of defiance and pride under an authoritarian regime. Pretty incredible

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.”
