#StephenMiller is walking animus. The psychic scars are deep. He channels self-loathing into a campaign of global cruelty, with an almost gleeful affect. It's such a pitiful spectacle. What kind of person could want this?! There will be a reckoning. We don't forget. #TheCruelyIsThePoint #Resist

I bow before you, #SouthPark gods of satire. You guys are fucking brilliant! Your latest episode had me guffawing, and your story arc for this season is just beautiful. The best part? It's hard for them to get #retribution. I wonder if this is why #Kushner is buying #Paramount, just to fuck you guys

#StephenMiller seems to only do his #Goebbels cosplay on #FoxNews, #OANN, etc. Perhaps that's cuz the #IndependentMedia is willing to call #bullshit on his #racist #MAGA #lies. When this is all over, I bet he'll flee the continent to avoid trial like the other #Nazis did after #WWII. #Resist

@thebulwark.com I understand the need to monetize your work, but the ratio of commercials to content on your podcast has rendered it unlistenable. Ads seemingly every two to three minutes diminishes it's value to me. Please consider moderating your ad density per episode.

@dahlialithwick.bsky.social I don't buy Purdy's and Pozen's interpretation of the current political disruption. It's not "normal" reinterpretation to intentionally ignore the Constitution to further the establishment of an authoritarian dictatorship. These are not normal democratic gyrations.

Our "Leader" is becoming a demented old man in front of our eyes. He's falling asleep during Oval Office events, and lashing out at reporters. I can't imagine the tantrums he throws in private. He is sociopathically egotistical, and completely detached from reality. That's not good, right?! #Resist

Q: Do you plan to attend Sarah's funeral?
TRUMP: I haven't thought about it yet, but it's certainly something I can conceive of. I love West Virginia. You know, I won West Virginia by one of the biggest margins of any president anywhere.

The two #NationalGuard soldiers would not have been shot if they had not been deployed to #D.C. for absolutely no reason. It's shameful and provocative. My sympathy to these families. Your children were doing what they were ordered to do. That's their job. #Nonviolence is the only way forward.
