We all make poor choices in life. But few are as bad as allowing yourself to be lectured about incitment and violent rhetoric by anyone who follows Donald Trump. Seriously. Make good life choices, folks.

Acts of political violence aren’t acceptable. Non-political school shootings aren’t acceptable. Sacking the legislature isn’t acceptable. Military occupation of peaceful American cities isn’t acceptable. Abductions conducted in courthouse hallways by masked agents of the state aren’t acceptable.

America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home.
Happy Independence Day. No Kings in America.

honestly does seem like the basic dynamic in american politics right now is that a critical number of voters treat Democrats like their (nagging) mom or their (bitch) wife and treat Republicans like the “cool” dad or husband who is at best a deadbeat

Meta (aka “we rebranded away from Facebook after causing a genocide in Myanmar” aka “we lied about pivot to video” aka “please don’t look up Cambridge Analytica”) as a brand is completely toxic to anyone who knows the slightest thing about how that company is run.
