I refuse to believe politicians are forgetting how rancid MTG is. Sure we can have a big tent but we do not need to welcome someone like her. Please everyone get a fucking hold of yourselves.

I know we clown strongly worded statements but every medical professional in the US needs to issue one by tomorrow morning saying "we're not following the bullshit guidance of a lifelong antivax activist & his senile boss"

Yup
It’s interesting to see a writer list “the worst things” a man has done, and it’s truly a list of horrors, and then blithely say that still, we must get along. You can only do that when you aren’t in anyone’s political crosshairs. Must be nice.

Appalling
Firing a Black woman for quoting Kirk’s horrific statements about Black women is insane. It seems the Washington Post would rather perform politeness (and demand that the people Kirk harmed do it too) that tell the truth: karenattiah.substack.com/p/the-washin...

Trump doesn't care about protecting the survivors. He cares about protecting the perpetrators.

Yes!! It always bugged me (especially when I felt like *I* should say it) and this explains exactly why!!
"Are you surprised" and similar responses shift the focus from "how do we react to this horrible thing?" to "who is the cool one here." It's an accusation of naïveté.It opts out from engagement and shifts the focus from the well-being of the world to one's own status enhancement.

Ugh. Yes THIS
I still don’t understand why people can’t just come here from other countries & stay. Personally, the fraud, & waste is all the money spent adjudicating citizenship. Think of all the money we’d save & tax revenue that would generate. It’s like private health insurance companies. Like, whyyyy?

“Riots”
Seeing a massive divide online between Angelenos of all political stripes who understand that the protests in LA yesterday were mostly peaceful and any violence was ICE-initiated and East Coast establishment liberals lecturing “the left” on how riots just amplify right wing talking points.

As much as they've gutted the US Government, I'm concerned about how long it'll take us to replenish the National Strategic Popcorn Reserve after today.
