Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Dear Washington Post, you are the darkness now.

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

Disappointing to see gov. newsom with his finger to the wind.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

Since we are repeating ourselves, let me just say fuck that.

No one could have predicted…

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

Fight them, without becoming them!

T R E 4 5 O N

Prediction: the gop will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

Their shamelessness is their super power.

Human rights are not a matter of opinion!

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

Giving in to doom is how authoritarians win.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

I desperately hope that, yet again, i am wrong.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

Fear or fury? The choice is ours.

The arc of the moral universe does not bend itself. it is up to us to bend it.

Hell hath no fury like a farmer bankrupted.

Live so that if you miss a day of work people aren’t hoping you’re dead.

American history and black history cannot be separated.

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

Is Our Children Learning?

This is pretty funny:

The Bush administration should move rapidly to bring other countries into the postwar occupation of Iraq to take the focus off American troops, Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., said Sunday.

“We have to diffuse the perception in reality of American occupation,” Kerry, one of nine candidates for the Democratic presidential nomination, said on CNN’s “Late Edition.”

“The obligation of the United States government is to rapidly internationalize the effort in Iraq, get the target off of American troops, bring other people, particularly Muslim-speaking and Arab-speaking Muslim troops, into the region,” Kerry said.

I have always wanted to speak Muslim.
