Been a democratic socialist since long before it was cool. Pro-reading comprehension.

Just Googled this the other day, looking for holiday gift ideas for my kiddos…
Shout out to the Rick Riordan Presents books, too — another great place to look when you’ve run out of Percy and crew (and Magnus… and Carter and Sadie… and Ana…)

If the government can forgive $11 million in fines, they should be able to forgive my student loans.
Trump's DOT just forgave $11M in fines against Southwest Airlines for its 2022 holiday meltdown.
This follows the agency scrapping a Biden-era rule requiring airlines to compensate and rebook passengers for lengthy delays or cancellations.
Trump is making flying suck even more.

Taking a break from snark to remember my grandpa, who enlisted in the Army in response to Pearl Harbor.
He would be heartbroken by this country today 💔

I figured Pete Hegseth was dumb… but I didn’t realize he was doesn’t-understand-how-mirrors-work dumb.

My biggest regret about leaving Twitter (and regrets about this are exceedingly rare) is that I’m unable to respond to Trump cultists with “quiet, piggy.”

I talked to a more than a few people at my local #NoKings rally today. Interestingly, all of us in this sample population were there because we love America.
Y’all — I think the the GOP might be lying 🙃

After reading the statement by #disney, regarding the return of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, I will reiterate my initial reaction to their whole mess: Fuck Disney.
This was not a decision “to avoid further inflaming a tense situation…” — it was a bow to fascism. Call it what it was and own it.

Per People, Jimmy Kimmel has been offered the chance to go back in the air, if he complies with a list of demands, including paying off Charlie Kirk’s family.
Fucking disgusting.

Ironic that the same company that brought us “The Handmaid’s Tale” would capitulate to a fascist regime, but here we are.

Markwayne Mullin: "I'm not joking when I say this. I drive around Washington DC in my Jeep - yes, I drive myself - & I don't buckle up. The reason I don't buckle up - people can say whatever they want - is because of carjacking. I don't want to be stuck in my vehicle when I need to exit in a hurry."

There’s a delicious irony to CBS/Paramount firing Colbert in that now even more people are talking about their bribery scheme than if they’d just let the remark go.

… but to be fair, we are living in a world where kindness is considered fanatical leftism…
Ah, yes, PBS, that bastion of leftwing propaganda known for...

...Sesame Street, Mister Rogers, and Ken Burns' Baseball.

Hot tip to @nytimes.com — if you have to keep your source anonymous because naming them would take away any amount of credibility, that’s a good sign you shouldn’t use that source.

Here’s the thing: I don’t mind paying taxes when I know the it’s helping my fellow citizens meet their basic needs. The idea that my hard-earned money is giving billionaires even more money that they can never spend in their lifetime, though, is nauseating.

I don’t believe in having heroes (even though my kiddos and I love reading about them #PercyJackson) because that’s not a fair burden to put on someone — but gosh darn it, Rick Riordan is a good human. We need more of those.

Maybe my definition of “liberation” is off, but I didn’t think it included wresting control from democratically elected officials…
This is the most straightforward thing they've said so far. They're using the military to "liberate" Los Angeles from its mayor and governor.
Kristi Noem: "We are not going away. We are staying here to liberate the city from the socialists and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country and what they have tried to insert into the city."
Sen. Alex Padilla is then forcibly removed!

Theory: Trump and Musk are publicly fighting because the person who owns them both doesn’t want us to pay attention to the fact that he just launched missiles and drones at Ukraine.

For all the people speculating about Joe Biden’s health who don’t know the whiplash of “healthy” to “life-threateningly ill” that comes with a cancer diagnosis,” I’m actually truly happy for you because it means you’ve never experienced it.
