Sobering reminder that real people rely on social media for crucial real-time updates, so a dangerously narcissistic billionaire douchebag fucking it up in a failed attempt to own the libs and attack working class unity is actually not all that funny.
The fact that we don't know who to follow, who is real or who is legit during an active shooter incident, because #ElonMusk fucked up twitter beyond repair is FUCKING SICKENING. #UVA
This man, who thinks that he is very smart, says “let’s have one of each” as if political parties are ice cream flavors, where one ice cream flavor is mediocre vanilla and the other is arsenic.
To independent-minded voters: Shared power curbs the worst excesses of both parties, therefore I recommend voting for a Republican Congress, given that the Presidency is Democratic.

Clarence Thomas told the religious radicals of the far right that he’s looking for a test case to challenge Griswold, and they’re trying to give it to him.

RT because “but I just LIKE Johnny Depp more!!!” is not evidence, it does not excuse abuse and it doesn’t make the elements of defamation just disappear, no matter what a non-sequestered group of seven people in Virginia may tell you.

It also doesn’t fucking matter, because cardiac activity doesn’t mean that you can exist without internal organs, or a complex skeletal structure, or skin.
Reporters and editors: It is not a "fetal heartbeat." At 6 weeks it is cardiac activity (no organ has formed) in an embryo.

So glad that I spent three years studying American law just to have the Supreme Court and a non-sequestered jury of lay persons decide that American law is ~whatever the anti-woman position is~
People heralding Johnny Depp right now are going to be protesting about some unknown hick murdering his unknown wife in a month. The only difference is that the hick won’t be too famous to fall, and the dead woman won’t be too famous to believe. We only believe imagined women.
Amber Heard (famous person) wrote an op-ed about domestic violence, in which she referred to herself as a public representative (famous person) for survivors of domestic violence (discussed in the op-ed) and a jury found that defamed an unnamed actor cuz they really like pirates.

For the 7 anti-choice cons still using originalist interpretation to justify all of their dipshit opinions (6 of whom are on SCOTUS) you can’t seriously argue that the original intent/state of life at the time of writing is paramount while you text your wife on your iPhone.

If what the Founders meant/how they felt/how they lived is so important, no laptops for you. No RV vacations across America, Clarence Thomas. You’d better be sewing those robes BY HAND.
Today I’m talking to multiple women that I went to high school with in a small conservative town. Everyone has a story about a pregnancy scare, or bringing a friend to the doctor. But we are from Canada, where women and girls are, and will continue to be, people.

This is what they were planning when they had unthinking pawns propagating the idea that both parties are the same/they’re all corrupt in the same ways/your vote doesn’t matter.
NEW: Anti-abortion groups and Republicans in Congress have been meeting behind the scenes to push for a national 6-week abortion ban if Republicans re-take power, per @washingtonpost.
Trump-appointed Justices are going to overturn #RoeVWade and Trump-endorsed legislators will make women second-class citizens in about 22 states by the end of this year, so yeah, I guess you could say that voting matters.
Federal judges are very partisan jurists selected by extremely partisan presidents on the advice of dangerously partisan lobbyists and if you think that one guy with a gavel in Florida can make proclamations about public health without bias/sans jackassery, you are incorrect.
Letting a single Trump appointee with no public health experience overrule the CDC in the middle of a deadly pandemic is not a good precedent for how we are going to handle future crises.
I love @LizCGil for putting herself on the Twitter line to push the needle on issues like this. Student loan forgiveness would be a good thing for the forgiven student-loan-debt-holder. But do you know who else it would be good for? Mo’fucking everybody.

Paying taxes so that other people can have good food helps us. Paying taxes so that other people can have quality healthcare helps us. Paying taxes so that other people can to go to uni helps us.

This tweet implies that characteristics of Lindsay Graham that are considered “feminine” (such as the common assumption that he has sex w/ men) are negative and worthy of mockery/disdain. Please find ways to trash LG w/out being sexist/homophobic. It shouldn’t be difficult.
Who else laughed their a** off as Lady G stormed off screen in a huff because her ridiculous and accusatory questions DID NOT PHAZE KBJ?

I read this tweet before processing that it was from Marcus Flowers and based on the Nazi elements of the invasion of Ukraine, I assumed “Georgians” referred to the country - the fact that it makes sense both ways… this flaming hellscape called the present is really trying us.
Georgians shouldn’t have to worry about whether their representative is attending a White Nationalist rally.

Thousands of people fleeing gang violence, forced marriage and epidemic rates of intimate/sexual violence in the Northern Triangle countries would like a word.
NEW: ICE confirms it has stopped deportation flights to Ukraine. “Amid the ongoing humanitarian crisis occurring in Ukraine, ICE has paused repatriation flights to Ukraine. ICE will continue to monitor the ongoing situation and make operational changes as necessary.”
We take swift action when horses are filled with PEDs and immediately audiences the trainers involved but what could we possibly do about a notoriously unethical athletic regime deliberately drugging a child???
