I think two things are true:

1. young republicans were always terrible and racist

2. young republicans become openly hitler-loving groypers is in fact a new and alarming development that is worth paying attention to

I like both because I feel like text style is part of someone's personality and generally I want to feel like I'm hearing them text "as themselves."

(i rescind this feeling when it comes to people who just text "hey" or "hey how are you" and wait for you to respond before they ask for a favor)

All we wanted was a chance to talk

feet have bled, a million miles we've walked

"well what are the Democrats supposed to do" I don't know! They're supposed to know! I'm not the one who sought and obtained a political position that would require me to know what to do when the ruling party attempts to install the President as a dictator!

A lot of you are dragging her, but how else is she supposed to learn what journalism is?

News: Bari Weiss just sent a memo to staffers at CBS News asking them to produce a memo explaining "how you spend your working hours—and ideally, what you've made (or are making) that you're most proud of."

One CBS News staffer puts it like this to me: "We just got Elon Musked."
