You’re going to have to bear with me, as I haven’t been sleeping well for a decade or so.
Admittedly, I’m not at my best these days.
I’m exhausted from having to give all the sh*ts about people that you’re supposed to be giving, along with my own.

"You can’t just sit in the stands and say, 'Oh, the umpire is not calling balls and strikes. This is weird.’ You actually have to get out on the field and be the umpire. There isn’t going to be a game unless we get out there and say, ‘OK, we believe in the rules.’"

MAGA doesn't own the flag. They don't own the word "Patriot" or the act of patriotism. They don't have exclusive rights to the phrase "We the People." Let's use one of their slogans and make signs that say "Reclaim America"—the balance of powers, due process, and separation of church and state.

Supercut of comments from Republicans today alone about the No Kings rallies taking place this weekend. This has to be some of the worst, and most anti-American, coordinated messaging of all time.

BORN ON THIS DAY, SEPTEMBER 28, in 1916: PETER FINCH, actor. I will always remember his work in my favorite film, the 1971 SUNDAY BLOODY SUNDAY (pictured, with Murray Head and Glenda Jackson), perhaps the first truly sympathetic portrayal of a gay man in a major film. H/T Peter Napolitano

Can you imagine if we had instead invested those funds in climate, health care, and education instead of lining the pockets of the military industrial complex?
In the 20 years following 9/11, the U.S. spent over $21 trillion on militarization.
Yesterday, the House passed an NDAA bringing us closer to a $1 trillion Pentagon budget.
For too long, hawks have used the tragedy of 9/11 to supercharge militarism at the cost of our needs and safety.
Enough.
