He/him. Calm on the outside. Museum developer, poet in my youth. Against fascism. Jaded but not disengaged. Appreciate why Titanic's band kept playing as the ship went down. Profile pic: Mo'ohtavetoo'o (Black Kettle), Southern Cheyenne peacemaker.
Six years ago today, Trump was promoting voting by mail.
Exclusive pictures of the SpaceX rocket hitting the moon have just been released.
Hey journalists, stop saying somebody "destroyed" Trump with their questions or testimony. He is not destroyed and keeps wrecking our lives. False hope does us no good
I guess Max Miller figures that some Ohio voters keep reelecting Jim Jordan so he might as well stay in.
So if the midterms aren’t disrupted, and if they are free and fair, and if the Democrats take the House (and, possibly, the Senate) the poison pill Republicans have waiting is that cuts to Medicaid are set to trigger just as the new Congress gets going, and who will the gullible U.S. public blame?
Why do these people concoct such bizarre hypotheticals? Like, we’ll worry about LeBron playing high school girl’s roundball when LeBron goes out for the JV team but this is not an actual thing that is happening.

If the U.S. is not going to stop Trump from making his personal attorney the Attorney General, what will we stop him from?
If you thought John Mitchell or Bill Barr were bad… just you wait.
it's not why *everything* sucks, but having all three branches of the federal government captured by thieves, abusers, bigots, and cowards is definitely why a lot of things suck
Susan Collins announcing she'll vote against a controversial nominee is basically the moment it becomes clear that nominee will be confirmed. It means Thune has enough votes to confirm, and thus, Collins gets a pass to look independent.
If you aren't angry then you aren't paying attention.
Republicans giving Trump IRS immunity after Capital One closed his bank accounts for money laundering should be a bigger story.
You could have voted no on Blanche. Idiot.

A vote to confirm Todd Blanche is a vote against justice for Epstein survivors.
I think We-the-People need to sue the Federal Govt for our share of the tariff taxes back.
Site signage in Serbia. A very clever way to interpret ruins.
Congress: “We’ve tried nothing and we’re fresh out of ideas.”
Trump pays no attention to what he himself said yesterday or last week or last month, only what he thinks makes his point in the moment. Neither his followers nor the corporate media notice, and elected Republicans notice but don’t care.

Whitehouse: "Next we get to this crooked slush fund Trump family tax amnesty scam. We've got these two new pieces of paper. One signed only by Blanche, one not signed by anybody. Neither of which has any legal effect whatsoever. They are decorative. Can you trust Todd Blanche? I do not."
My occasional reminder that these were among the accusations against the British Crown in the American colonists' Declaration of Independence.
It says something unflattering about our country that so many Americans are not concerned that the nation’s president is a money launderer who rapes both adults and children.
If the gov’t doesn’t protect its people, then it has no legitimate function at all.
YOU CANNOT MAKE THIS SHIT UP: Only in America can you try to overthrow the government, get convicted for trying to overthrow the government, get pardoned by the President and then get paid by the President for trying to overthrow the government. Just shaking my head.
