If you ever talk to the homeless people on your streets—and I strongly advise that you do, because they’re people—you will find that they are homeless for all kinds of reasons, but mostly because housing is horrifically expensive and if you fall out of it it’s so hard to get back in.

The women around terrible men aren’t secretly heroes of the revolution. They are collaborators.

They’re using the word “doxxing” here in a way that doesn’t apply. You don’t generally have a right to hide that you’re working for the government.

“They don’t want people knowing they are working for the government agency of shitfuckery and rights-pissing” doesn’t sound as good.

They gutted NOAA — is that because the agency “failed to tell the story” about how predicting hurricanes is good?

The people destroying these agencies are deranged conspiracists allergic to basic facts and expertise. *This* is the important thing to stress when describing and responding to it.

Pundits do this bizarre thing where they blithely admit that Trump lies constantly, craves unlimited power and exhibits a caveman political ideology — and then accept his justification for his actions at face value.

No! Assume he is lying about why he bombed Iran until proven otherwise.
