I don't know who needs to hear this, but Canada is NEVER going to be America's 51st state.

Anyone who thinks it will happen is a fucking moron.

She's not wrong.
Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

No, this is not the time to sit back and rest. This is the time to organize and resist. We need leadership, not lullabies.

Did you know?

In 1968, 24 Black men in Pittsburgh revolutionized emergency medicine.

Here are the options on the table (which are not mutually exclusive):

1. House Dems bring articles of impeachment*

2. Senate Dems play constitutional hardball and obstruct everything

3. State AGs litigate (and prosecute) everything they can

4. Citizens march en mass

If it were legal to fire you, they wouldn't put so much effort into getting you to resign voluntarily.

Watching these red states attack federal funding—apparently not realizing that most of their states are broke and would completely collapse without it—will always be hilarious to me.

“Give it all back to the states!”

Sit down, Cletus. Your state can’t buy sandwiches for kids.

Today the great divide is not between left and right. It’s between democracy and oligarchy.

Let me explain.
The American oligarchy is back, and it’s out of control
It’s the third time in the nation’s history that a small group of hyper-wealthy people have gained political power over the rest of us. Here’s what we must do.

Nancy Mace lied about being assaulted.

I keep saying this but she still hasn't sued me for defamation.

I am begging people to stop with these weird fantasies about trans women using the men's room (which are often weirdly sexual in nature?!) to "prove a point." You sound like weird freaks.

Advice from a Literature teacher and resister: read your history, but don’t forget your literature.

Resistance is woven through the words of abolitionism and feminism and anti-fascism. Read the history and the literature.

Crying is a quintessential human experience. Some progress has been made to help us understand human tears — to grasp what they’re made of, why we create them (some of us more than others) and why producing them can help us feel better.
Why Do People Cry? Here’s What We Know.
We’re the only species that sheds emotional tears, but much about them remains an enigma.
