Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

Petty moves from a petty man.

The real work of an opposition party is to oppose.

Republican speaker of the house Mike Johnson is the bland and smiling face of evil.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

I would try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

Dumb motherfuckers cannot understand a consequence that most 4 year olds have fully sorted out.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

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

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

Rupert, come get your orange boy, you petrified old dinosaur turd.

I like political parties that aren’t owned by foreign adversaries.

To the privileged, equality seems like oppression.

Lick the third rail, it tastes like chocolate!

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

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

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

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

Not all heroes wear capes.

Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.

American history and black history cannot be separated.

If America since Jan 2025 hasn’t broken your heart, you haven’t loved her enough.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

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.
