Trump is an illegitimate president.
Read more books.
I took a hiatus but I’m back!

Pinned
Starting a new thread of limericks sent to me by my mom on a sometimes daily basis:

It's a pain in the butt
We're in a deep rut
Why pay our taxes
As congress relaxes
And government seems intractably shut

The thing about Mamdani is that he’s a talented politician but not otherworldly or one in a billion, he’s just a competent guy with popular ideas who ran against an entitled piece of shit and to me it’s a lot more optimistic to imagine 1000 campaigns like his than to view him as a unique phenomenon

So I met Taylor and Griffin from @dawestheband.bsky.social last Saturday night at the 2nd of their two shows celebrating the 10th anniversary of their album #AllYourFavoriteBands. They are my absolute favorite band and I was beyond excited to meet them after going to so many of their shows!

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

My spiciest politics take is that every election should have a robust primary even if you like the incumbent.

In response to this claim that the "strategy didn't work."

The people were on our side. We were building momentum to help save our democracy. We could have won - the premium increase notices were just starting.

And giving in now will embolden him. Things will likely get worse.

Poster art is hardly meek
Its messages loudly speak
So it's plain
That this campaign
Is more than just a subtle tweak

BREAKING: Trump was just viciously BOOED at the Washington Commanders Detroit Lions game.

I’ve never heard a president booed this loudly in my life. Holy cow!

Trump claims to be patriotic—yet he's denying food to our veterans, servicemembers, seniors, and babies by refusing to fund SNAP.

As James Baldwin said, "I can't believe what you say, because I see what you do."

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

"Irregardless" has to be my favorite misspoken word in the English language.

It shows a complete misunderstanding and a general disregard, if you will (and I know you will), of the rules of semantics, grammar, syntax, and morphology in the speaker's own language.

If you have to accept that greed is human nature and we should organise around it, you also have to accept that people begging for food wanting to set fire to trillionaires is also human nature.

One of the few positive aspects of this era in American history is that it's super-easy to identify the villains.

The Earl of Sandwich would be pleased
No matter that the sub was squeezed
A man arrested
Now it's tested
A sandwich hurler can not be seized
