Listen up people: There really IS a war on Christmas.
How do I know? Because I just declared it.
And once we've bombed their anti-air equipment, we're going to lay waste to every last gingerbread house.

If you’re suspected of trafficking a small amount of drugs with no evidence, we will murder you, but if you’re convicted of trafficking an enormous amount of drugs with copious evidence, we will pardon you. Because we are currently a very stupid country.

I just find it hilarious that his whole cabinet is sloberring praise all over him with ridiculous hyperbole and he is falling asleep while they're doing it.

Jesus Christ, our world doesn’t have to be so fucking huge, I swear.
If I need to know every horrible thing happen, can I also see the miracles? The new mother first seeing her daughter, the husband who holds his wife as the dementia takes her away from him?
Can I see the resistance to entropy?

Horrible men like Chuck Schumer and Hakim Jeffries—mark my words—will let these criminal regime enablers off with no consequences “so America can heal.”

I was diagnosed with #HIV in 1998, when I was 30.
Many of my friends had died of AIDS. I did not expect to live to 50.
I’m 58 now.
HIV treatment works.
Treatment also makes it impossible for me to pass HIV on during sex.
Ensure HIV treatment for all.
End HIV stigma.

Writing Tip:
Take a moment when you write to ask yourself 'is this scene actually going the direction I want it to?' Asking this frequently and early can help save time, as you can back up and try something else much sooner rather than if you stuck it out.

Because the Trump regime has refused to keep their crimes against humanity internal to America, they’re going to face consequences for their actions. Even if American voters fail to hold them accountable the rest of the world that they’ve pissed off can.

That this isn’t coming from any sort of a leftist account (shitposting or not) is a sign of where America is right now re: the oligarchs.

I find it fascinating that the entire world is essentially struggling with the same social problems and instead of giving people housing and resources we continue to elect leaders who guard those resources.
