I'm sorry, Gavin Newsom is asking ME to be more normal? Look in a mirror, buddy.
Yah dick durbin should probably cut back on the piercings (who is the "we" here)
Culturally normal is a dog whistle.

Ditto. I hereby criticize ICE.
I heard that now they're placing people who criticize ICE under surveillance. I want it to be known to the entire world that I despise ICE to the core and I think their entire institution should be abolished. They are cruel, inhumane, and are examples of the worst of humanity
Fuck ICE Fuck Fascism.

I can't stop thinking about the purported drug smugglers being murdered by the US military. The punishment for drug offenses isn't the death penalty. This is just bloodlust and men in suits playing with lives they don't care about. It's truly grotesque and gravely compromises this country.

It doesn't matter if you can prove you're a U.S. Citizen.
Without due process there's no one to prove it TO.
And ICE clearly doesn't care.

At least one other boat, the one with the Colombian fisherman, was adrift and displaying a distress signal with its engine out of the water. To attack a disabled vessel in distress and signaling for assistance is basically in the same category as killing shipwrecked survivors clinging to wreckage.

a lot of birth rate panic cons are, fundamentally, misogynists. so they cannot even conceive that the birth rate is first and fundamentally about women's choices
The vast majority of women I know and talk to on a regular basis are not going to be somehow nudged into not having kids by having accessible and affordable contraception.

The New Deal wasn’t built on a promise that there would be “no ceiling” for the richest Americans.
Quite the opposite, in fact. FDR knew its politics could only work if he singled out the rich as villains and knew that its policies could only work if the rich paid their fair share in taxes.

Demolishing the East Wing of the White House before finalizing plans for what will be built above its ruins is a near-perfect metaphor for Trump's approach to economic policy. The only difference is the wrecking crew doesn’t claim the rubble is evidence of unprecedented growth.

The entire business model of R1 public universities rests on 4 revenue sources:

3. Tuition (esp. from foreign students)
4. State $
For decades, 📈 in 1-3 offset a secular 📉 in 4. Now, 1 & 3 are being decimated & 4 ain't coming back. The math is clear.
