The only thing I need to know is did Cuomo rip off his nipple rings in rage?

[Interior, FBI Crime Lab, Scully & Mulder look over The Grinch's corpse in the autopsy room]

Scully: Odd, his heart appears to have been 3 sizes larger than normal, but there's stretch marks on his aorta, as if it grew suddenly. What could've done this?

Mulder: Not what, who. Cindy Lou Who.

I'm gonna staple this onto all y'all mfs heads.

It is not hopeless, we have not lost, the entire intent of the actions of the Trump Administration is to seem stronger than they really are.

The firmer that we, the people, stick with one another, the harder it will be for them to do anything.
Gentle reminder that Trump also declared Antifa a terrorist organization once in 2019 and once in 2020, and Congress also entertained resolutions to this effect in 2019, 2021, and in January of this year.

I don't think democracy is dead. I think Trump is, once again, flailing.
It's pretty clear that they got their Reichstag Fire with the Kirk assassination. Democracy is dead.

We now have a fascist dictator.

Now we know, they have no idea where the shooter is, or even who the shooter is...for that matter. I mean, what could go wrong when you have an FBI Director with no experience...and an idiot president who insisted on firing the most experienced and longest serving experts at the FBI.

I’m American, surprised the house of lords actually still has some kind of power? Not surprised they mostly only use it against workers rights apparently? Does England still have a Republican movement or are they just going to be ruled by lords and ladies forever?

profit driven media only cares about getting views, and has no civic responsibility to educate the public. Keep going like this we might elect a game show host president
A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.

Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

Canada picked a guy with a PhD in economics from Oxford.

Mexico chose a woman with a degree in physics and a PhD in energy engineering.

nice to see people move from “we shouldn’t send the good Americans to the El Salvador torture prison” to “we should send no American to the El Salvador torture prison” but I need a little more, *no-one* should be in that torture prison, it shouldn’t exist

to the very limited extent that there's any hope for "America" as a state project, I suspect it hinges on not letting those Abundance people trick people into thinking "zoning reform" is what the New Deal was

something democratic centralism solves
I've said this a million times but I'll say it again: the Dems constantly debating in public about whether to fight, and where to fight, and what language to use in fighting, and whether this is the right fight ... all of that just loudly broadcasts *weakness*, no matter what they conclude.

My mother texted me about protesting tomorrow. Her first vote was for Reagan. Obama first Dem she ever voted for. She’s more politically engaged than I’ve ever seen her - honestly a bit shook at how fired up she is. Gives me some hope.
