Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

You passed on an opportunity to be offended? What are you even doing here?

We do not need to pander to people who do not like what we stand for.

The real work of an opposition party is to hold the people in power accountable.

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

Relentless negativity is not a sign that you are more realistic.

The world has changed, and neither one recognizes it.

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

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

At some point, the ability to learn is a factor of character, not IQ.

Hey Washington Post, “Democracy Dies in Darkness” was supposed to be a warning, not a mission statement.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you do not.

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

Come on, man.

Late Night Happy News: Minna (Asiangrrrrl) Is Making Great Progress

Thank you, Yutsano, for the link!

From her brother:

My dad and I visited Minna this afternoon. She is doing so much better than yesterday or two days ago. She is mostly in the chair, and walking down the hall and back. Only in bed for sleeping.

Her vitals are mostly back to normal and they are talking about discharging her tomorrow (friday) or the next day (saturday) directly home with no rehab center. Tomorrow marks 2 weeks in the hospital of which 1 week she wasn’t conscious.

I think she wants to break out of the hospital and get back home. They would be sending a few people over to help her with a few last rehab tasks, mostly speech rehab. She has also been prescribed to play video games! I don’t think that’ll be hard for her to accomplish.

(Sometimes it’s good to be the night shift.)

    I’ve been following her Caring Bridge and it’s SO wonderful to see her improving so quickly, especially after the shit almost-2 years most of us have had.

    YAY MINNA!

    I can’t believe it’s been two weeks! It feels like it was yesterday to me. I’m so glad wifey is doing so well. I’m scared there will be a setback, but that’s normal with the recovery process. I’m curious about the need for speech therapy but as things stand it’s great that she’s recovered as well as she has.

    I put this downstairs, but I’ll re-post here.

    I am still of the theory that as soon as she heard her mother was coming from Taiwan she woke the fuck up. I’m gonna be pushing her to come back here more as soon as she’s able. Her memory of what happened isn’t back yet so she can’t answer those questions. I’ll be checking for when she tweets again. I know phone stuff is still problematic for her right now.

    Awesome!!! Thanks for the update, Yutsano! I hope she continues to heal and recover and am glad for her, her family and friends.

    What an amazing turnaround for her!

    Wonderful news – and I hope Minna’s able to see these threads devoted to her some day and realize how much she means to people here.

    I had no idea Minna was so ill (must have missed previous threads), but I’m happy to hear she’s doing so well. Sending positive vibes for a complete recovery.

    So glad to see this. Not to be a downer, but based ony MIL’s experience, progress tends to slow over time so it’s really reassuring to see such dramatic improvement over a short time.  Make the most of those therapy visits!

    That is such great news! From another MNGrrrrl, we are hardy stock. It’s the winters. Please reach out if she needs anything. There are a few of us here that will be most happy to provide support.
