I'm actually ALONE in the holidays, a widow, w/ all my family gone. And I'm not as miserable as that asshat is.

I think I'm winning.
It doesn’t fix things, but it really does bring me comfort to know how miserable some of the worst people are. Donald Trump tweeting over 200 times on Christmas. Billionaires fighting with strangers online during the holidays. Everything about Elon Musk

JP probably got more presents than anyone this year and he's fallen completely in love with his new piggy. Carried it around all day and although there was copious chewing, he damaged it not at all.

Somehow I have become custodian to the sweetest soul on this entire godsforsaken planet.

Jim Jordan, asshole, decides Rudolph is a Republican. NO WAY. Rudolph is a minority, persecuted by the others. If anything, Rudolph represents LGBTQ, or immigrants, or all the persecuted.

"Never be cruel.
Never be cowardly.
Hate is always foolish.
Love is always wise."

Good words from Doctor Who. More people should live by them.

Catholics represent fewer than 20% of U.S. adults, however, they make up 61% of the population at risk of deportation. Trump’s immigration crackdown is disproportionately hitting Catholic communities.

i don’t have a pope (jew) but it’s my understanding that among catholics he is, in fact, holier than thou
Extremely funny to call the pope “holier-than-thou”

This is John Roberts' America.
The blatant selling of pardons is perhaps the clearest instance of criminal conduct authorized by SCOTUS. Pardons are a quintessential "official act." So, even when Trump takes a bribe to issue one, he is presumably above the criminal law.
The president’s own chief of staff was reportedly stunned by his pardon of a former Honduran president.

I would say he has declined 600 or 700 percent. Some people say 1400 percent. No one has ever seen such declines. They say it took George Washington almost 250 years to decline as much. Huge decline.

Kind of wild how the take that some of Trump's supporters were "deplorable" was some huge scandal, but regularly screaming about "radical left scum" is just a thing he'll say with no media backlash.

Call me a nerd, but yesterday, a federal judge in Pennsylvania cited my reporting in a ruling against the DOJ in a case challenging Trump-era actions targeting transgender people.

A reminder that this work really does matter.

Sir Terry Pratchett is best understood as one of the most interesting, deeply ethical practical (I would say Pragmatist but I cede to actual experts) philosophers of the late 20th Century who just happened to work in deconstructed fantasy literature as his medium.
