Why am I awake, you didn’t ask?
Because *somebody* had a Stage 5 Clinger in her pantaloons and decided to scream about it while booty scootin’ across the bathmat at Lord Jesus, Make It Stop o’Clock.
Yes, Pippin. The wet washcloth was, in fact, quite necessary.

I can’t decide whether nobody should tell him, or how much money I’d pay to be a fly on the wall when they do.

He might have been aiming for a Keith Richards vibe with this, but he landed on “rabid sewer rat.”

"You're being alarmist" says someone who hasn't read anything besides the headline and maybe a pull quote since 2014 and whose vote counts as much as mine.

He literally says in this clip that ICE will keep in Minnesota “quick reaction forces” — a military term — to go after “agitators.” Remember that those on the ground in MPLS have spent more than a week trying to tell everyone that Trump’s prior “deescalation” was a ruse and ICE is still operational
Homan: "Operation Metro Surge is ending. In the next week, we're going to deploy the officers here on detail back to their home stations or to other areas of the country where they're needed."

Bondi crashes out over Epstein: "The Dow is over 50,000 dollars! I don't know why you're laughing. You're a great stock trader as I hear, Raskin. The Dow is over 50,000 right now. The S&P at almost 7,000, and the Nasdaq smashing records. That's what we should be talking about."

Erasing and persecuting trans folks was the beginning step, not the end game. No amount of palatability or respectability politics ever appeases fascism for long.

“This is a deliberate act of erasure . . . The Pride Flag is history, resistance, and Pride born at Stonewall itself. Taking it down does not diminish our community. It exposes an administration afraid of visibility and truth."

The same people who listen to Italian and German opera and who are willing to condemn the Pope himself in their pursuit of Latin-only Catholic Mass have their knickers in a twist about a pop music artist who performs in Spanish.

In the Guardian’s style book, “revealed” is evidently a synonym for “established fact that has been known for several years and previously covered by multiple journalists, writers, and media outlets.”

If we absolutely *must* have oligarchs and robber barons, can we at least restart the practice of having them fund libraries, museums, concert halls, parks, and major infrastructure projects as a peace offering to keep the working class from staging an uprising?
