“If I had a room jammed with trophies and awards, and a child of mine came to me and asked what I had done in defence of black people, and I had to tell that child that I had kept quiet, I would have to mark myself a total failure at the whole business of living.” Jackie Robinson

We've reached the point in our descent into fascism where the Jewish governor's house getting firebombed on Passover by a guy trying to bash his head in with a sledgehammer is overshadowed by the story of the President saying he wants to build foreign gulags for US citizens.

I for one am amazed that allowing the world's stupidest man to bellow like an idiot while swinging a sledgehammer into every surface encountered has not fixed all of our problems but has instead made all problems worse and caused new ones. It makes no sense; he had the longest tie, the goldest hair.

I blame George W. Bush. He softened America up to the idea that we could have someone stupid in the White House and things would still function.

I’m convinced now the fastest way to make a modern-day Conservative whine and pout is to treat them exactly the same way they treat everyone else.

Jeffrey Goldberg thinking he was being pranked and then realizing he was actually just in the war plans group chat is such a good microcosm of how it feels to be alive right now, everything seems fake until you realize it’s actually real and incredibly stupid

Gordie Howe was the nicest person you could ever meet in public.
But on the ice, he was called “mean as a rattlesnake,” and "tougher than a night in jail.”
Push Gordie, and your teeth met his elbows.
Gordie didn't back down, and neither does Canada.

Easy to lose this in the noise of the day, but the prime minister of Canada just said the US president, leader of the global hegemon, wants to soften us up economically so he can annex us.
That is one of the most remarkable statements, and realities, in our history.
