Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Someone should tell Republicans that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, or possibly the first.

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

“Perhaps I should have considered other options.” (head-desk)

Giving in to doom is how authoritarians win.

Too little, too late, ftfnyt. fuck all the way off.

Do we throw up our hands or do we roll up our sleeves? (hint, door #2)

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

I am pretty sure these ‘journalists’ were not always such a bootlicking sycophants.

Today in our ongoing national embarrassment…

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

If you voted for Trump, you don’t get to speak about ethics, morals, or rule of law.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

The Supreme Court cannot be allowed to become the ultimate, unaccountable arbiter of everything.

She burned that motherfucker down, and I am so here for it. Thank you, Caroline Kennedy.

White supremacy is terrorism.

Fight them, without becoming them!

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

We need to vote them all out and restore sane Democratic government.

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.
