I wonder if he’s popping pills and having conversations with the portrait of President Taft yet.

The amount of projection from right wingnuts is so excruciatingly painful. The reason they won’t take any of this seriously is because they KNOW they were losing their shit over Obama for no damn reason so they think it is the same now.

I described Sessions that way in Slack last night but I will maintain that BOTH of them look like cookie elves if cookie elves were terrible

And just think, if Betsy DeVos has her way, soon we’ll be giving our children the sort of education that will help ensure that one day, they too will be able to state with complete confidence that other people are foolish while simultaneously displaying their profound ignorance about history, the world outside of the…

It reminds me that clinical depression and that specific kind of desperation is often profoundly quiet. The living always say, “we had no idea.”

The media will always be interested in the narrative of “I didn’t make this horrendously bad decision for the reasons you think, I made this horrendously bad decision for less obviously crapy reasons so please don’t put words in my mouth.” Ithe gives the illusion of complexity to an issue without having to actually…

Those articles always translate as “Why are you so mean to all of these people? They just want their trains to run on time!” to me. I can’t even read them. We’re stuck with a tantrum presidency because of these people, and we’re being told that “if you had only been nice to them, we wouldn’t be here.” Like they were…

If you voted for a man who campaigned on xenophobia, racism, sexism and other strains of bigotry, you either share his prejudices or you are complicit in them. The former makes you an audacious racist; the latter, a bystander, which in and of itself is a racist act.

I know, isn’t it great? I love not knowing the names because, honestly, I don’t have to care about the entire pop culture of music. It’s a relief to not give a shit about the sound of the moment. I like the moments where my first thought upon hearing the name of a band is “Who?”

Fuck calming down, and fuck people who think we should.

I was reading a study talking about how people are usually capable of accurately judging the competence of those at or below their own level, but unable to distinguish between people who are more capable than they are.

The amount of pure hatred I have for him is overwhelming.

In 1990, for example, People Magazine published a report that Trump had turned down Madonna sexually and stole Carla Bruni from Mick Jagger, citing as a source Trump spokesperson John Baron. The interview, as it turned out, was recorded, and the voice of “John Baron” clearly belongs to Trump. 

It looks like Willem Dafoe doing Meryl Streep cosplay while reprising his role as the Green Goblin from Spiderman.

My mother is Salvadoran but frequently mistaken for Indian (because no one knows what Hispanic people really look like, except people who look “Mexican”)...I’m fucking terrified for her always, because whether she’s correctly identified or mistaken for a different ethnicity, it all puts her in danger, just for being…

Why are moderate troubled loners not speaking out against this?

I think it’s far more the latter than the former. I also think our country’s religiosity is far more deserving of blame than it gets. It creates a nation of people who believe in an invisible sky-daddy. Once you accept the ridiculous ideas of Christianity as being true, it’s far easier to accept other absurdities.

I’m involved. I’ve been involved with this stuff all my life. But I’m involved. So I know when you are telling the truth or when you are not. I just see many, many untruthful things. I will tell you what else I see. I see tone. You know the word tone. The tone is such hatred. I’m really not a bad person, by the way.

I TOTALLY do that. I completely road raged today on some redneck filth with a Trumper sticker on his pickup truck. I literally rolled down my window and yelled, “You’ve destroyed the institution of the Presidency and any meaningful hope for climate action, fuckface!”

I mean, and I do mean this genuinely, good for her. But I don’t think forgiveness makes someone automatically more “kind and enlightened” than people who don’t forgive those who hurt them. Like, I try to forgive and work things out with people whenever possible, but there are some people, like the person who sexually…
