I have anxiety about this regime so I Bluesky tweet a lot. (I won’t use the word skeet. It sounds like the thing that led young Liz Lemon to be named “shorts accident”).

In case you didn’t consume any news today, I can just let you know things got worse than you can imagine. It’s a fng nightmare again. (This applies to every day during the Trump administration.) You’re all caught up.

Just so you know, the President of the United States is *personally* involved in convincing state lawmakers to pass gerrymandered congressional maps that erase Democratic seats.

Yes but then again: Jim Crow was a minstrel character, California was named for a mythical island in a hit book, Lenin took the title of his breakthrough pamphlet from a polyamorous romance novel, and the American revolutionaries couldn’t stop quoting and stealing lines from a 1713 play about Cato

if someone quotes Leviticus saying gay people should be stoned to death, and calls that "God's perfect law," it's accurate to say they called for gay people to be stoned to death. Likewise, it's inaccurate to say they never called for it. bc I can parse language and understand how humans communicate

The fact that people who should know better can’t tell the difference between what Kirk did on one hand and “civil discourse” on the other is a sign of what a bad state our “civil discourse” is in these days.

The really fucked up thing is that if the guy who killed Kirk really is a groyper, or of some other far-right brain rot cluster, we just cannot rely on Trump's Justice Department to be honest about it.

Right: This is exactly the ploy. She implicates, say, Bill Clinton, and spends the time until a pardon "cooperating" in some place more comfortable than the Fed.
