Michigan is a great lesson for Dems everywhere: when you have power…use it!

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

Fight them, without becoming them!

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

So fucking stupid, and still doing a tremendous amount of damage.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

They punch you in the face and then start crying because their fist hurts.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

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

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

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Trump’s cabinet: like a magic 8 ball that only gives wrong answers.

Disagreements are healthy; personal attacks are not.

One of our two political parties is a cult whose leader admires Vladimir Putin.

C.) Admit publicly to said attraction and subsequent action
D.) Fool yourself into thinking this was a ‘relationship.’
