F/k/a the vaxxed introvert (still true). ANYHOO: interested in American democracy, Ohio politics, Romancelandia, and neurodivergent accounts. (I have other interests but I leave the macros/meal prep/gardentok/style stuff to TikTok or occasionally IG.)

“Ah, just one more thing, sir. You’re blowing up those boats, saying they’re filled with drugs headed for the US. But then you go and pardon the guy who brought in 400 tons of cocaine. That’s billions of doses. Help me understand that.”

In fact start muting folks who over antagonize them

It’s painfully clear. By refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Speaker Johnson’s covering up Jeffrey Epstein’s global sex-trafficking ring.

Hey GOP: Bring back the House, cancel your health care cuts, reopen the government and release the files.

This is a real “or barbarism” situation.

Value the work you wish to reward. With dollars and clicks and attention and time. Or suffer the consequences of the world you’ve built.
Pay people you like on the internet folks, it’s going to be rough out there

To review: an apparent right wing civil war between white Christian nationalist Groypers and white Christian nationalist college campus activists results in the murder of a leader of the latter; and that will now spark a 1930s-style putsch against liberals by the fascists who run the country.
"Stephen Miller vowed Friday that he and [..] Trump would use this week's assassination of Charlie Kirk to 'dismantle' the organized left using state power."

Miller: "It could be a RICO charge, a conspiracy charge, conspiracy against the United States, insurrection."

Gun violence on campus is always wrong. Political violence is always wrong, even when directed at those who celebrate it.

Trump’s mysterious disappearance from public raises new questions about Joe Biden’s advanced age
September 2, 2025 at 12:42 AM
It feels like the primary question right now is how do we get back to a truth-based world. All the silos, all the both-sidesisms, the casual lies from people in power because they know they’ll never be checked. AI isn’t helping. DJT rewriting history books and scraping museums isn’t helping.

Luttig is communicating vastly more clearly and honestly about Roberts and Scotus than most Democratic officials are. It’s absolutely flabbergasting.

The annoying spam texts destroying the Democratic brand:

$678M raised through those spam tactics

$282M to one consulting firm: Mothership Strategies.

$11M to actual campaigns (1.6%)

The party isn’t just treating donors like marks—it’s being fleeced itself yet continues to back Mothership.

How a single consulting firm extracted $282 million from a network of spam PACs while delivering just $11 million to actual campaigns.

This is exceptionally well done, and also a total bop.
NASA is more than rockets and moonwalks. NASA is behind much of our everyday technology. From space discovery, to Air Jordans, to CAT scans, NASA has played a role. We get it all on less than a penny of every federal dollar. Now their science may be gutted by 50%.

In recent years, Judge Boasberg has:

- ordered the release of Hillary’s emails

- ensured Trump’s tax returns never became public

- restricted disclosure from the Mueller investigation

- limited disclosure of grand jury material in the Trump classified docs case.

The resistance, he ain’t.
Leavitt: This judge is a Democrat activist. He was appointed by Barack Obama

Reporter: He was originally appointed by George W. Bush and elevated by Obama. Feel I should clear that up.
