I smoke weed everyday and am probably an alcoholic, but I am well-informed about politics and celebrity gossip. The point is, we’re all going to die in a mushroom cloud.

I know. Being awake in the country is fucking tiring, especially when dealing with people like you.

My narrative: Oh. Okay. My narrative is that I’m a white middle class guy in the middle of the Midwest watching the world burn down on 15 different fronts. Maybe the sky is a different color where you are.

So she is this tweet IRL?

I have a coworker whose husband has numerous chronic and expensive health problems (including cancer he’s currently receiving round 2 of chemo for, and uncontrollable diabetes due to a destroyed pancreas which is due to a form of scleroderma) - he’s on SS disability and she works 2-4 days a week as an hourly worker…

Well, that’s what they get for thinking they were white enough not be affected.

Well while we’re talking about yuge fuckups, here’s a Syrian family who voted for Donald Trump expressing shock and dismay at their family members being deported.

I will be upset that I can’t get where I’m trying to go, but still respect their cause.

Protests are usually about people’s deaths, job losses, and mistreatment, so it makes sense. They also always move aside for emergency vehicles.

Go back to your farm, engineer. Sometimes there are people who believe you need to be inconvenienced to make a point. This isn’t “oh, we’re sad.” It’s “You are breaking the law and it must be stopped.”

Protests aren’t supposed to be convenient.

The comment about having to drag her luggage “nearly two miles” is particularly tone deaf when compared to someone who left all their belongings behind to flee a war. I’d actually respect the comment more if it was Chris Berman b/c there’s no way he could haul a suitcase two miles.

Letter from a Birmingham Jail should be read by every literate American at least once a year. Pick a day — MLK’s birthday, 4th of April, 4th of July. It’s absolutely worth it.

The sad thing about Sage Steele, Zoe Saldana, and others like them, is that they wouldn’t be where they are today without others paving the way for them. Paving the way by protesting, calling out Trump, etc. (the very things they speak out against). Irony.

Exactly as MLK warned us about in “Letter from A Birmingham Jail”: “I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to ‘order’ than to justice;…

I love Dan and hope he enjoys his week off.

It’s the latest in the fast-growing genre of glib tsk-tsking. E.g., “I support their right to protest, but they shouldn’t block traffic. What if there’s a sick child!”

This is all very unfair to poor Sage Steele. She makes it clear it’s not herself she’s worried about—it’s all the OTHER flyers (some of them immigrants too, by golly by gum!) who were being inconvenienced for whom Sage Steele’s heart wept. And all because some untidy and obstreperous liberals got a little upset about…

Fuck yeah, buddy. I would hug you if I could.
