Imagine you saw a man throw his toddler to an attacking lion to save himself. How would you feel about that man?

I may be a miserable son of a bitch, but I’m still fastidiously kind to service workers. So at least I’ve got something resembling a soul left.

Oh and at one point, one cop pepper-sprayed another cop. (Around the 12-second mark.)

rich dudes got freakier after butlers fell out of fashion, like say what you will about having domestic servants but clearly it was some sort of moderating force on old rich dudes having a fancy man follow you around saying shit like "oh dear sir, that wouldn't be very becoming"

I just don’t think there’s any way that every member of Congress makes it out of 2026 and that’s a shame because I think there are a couple dozen members of the house worth saving

We are already at the Japanese American internment camps level of atrocity. We’re heading towards the trail of tears level of atrocity.

If you try to commit murder under color of law, you’re still a murderer, and should be treated as such. Looking at you, Republicans.

Caring for someone with dementia is so hard because their emotional intelligence crashes. They say and do hurtful things, and it’s in a way they have no control over. This is the second time I’ve had to help care for a relative like this. I’m good at it, but it comes at a personal cost.

Don’t forget that 99 Senators voted for the war criminal Marco Rubio, making them morally and I would argue legally complicit in whatever crimes our State Department is committing. Justice won’t be done until every last one of them is in a cell.

Americans are generally unbothered by the fact that Thomas Jefferson started raping his enslaved sister-in-law when she was 14, I don’t think there are very many moral people here.

Tens of millions of humans are sacrificing their agency to generative AI, I think that democracy might not necessarily be the best thing for humanity. Maybe we do crave authoritarianism?

Congressional Republicans let Trump put an alcoholic rapist in charge of the Pentagon, an anti-science kook in charge of our health, and a 22 year old intern in charge of counterterrorism.
These people do not act as if they actually care about Americans or the constitution.

One third of the country are irredeemable fascists, the intellectual descendants of the slavers we let off scot-free at the end of the Civil War.
Trump approval in new Gallup poll sets new low of 36%. and among GOP it is new low of 84% which signals loss of enthusiasm for next years elections. Trump approval among independents is a new low at dismal rating of 29%.

for all they scream about "importing the third world" it's the most idiotic, base tribal clannishness they aspire too as well. fuck rule of law, fuck the law, fuck rules, fuck neutral institutions, fuck universalism, fuck meritocracy.

so his sister wouldn’t have to die alone
29 November 1929 | A Czech Jew, Tibor Taglicht, was born. As a refugee he went to Norway.
He was deported to #Auschwitz with his sister Vera in March 1943. He was selected as able to work. He asked to stay with his younger sister. They were both murdered in a gas chamber.

I think I became convinced that most of the United States is an anti-human hellscape when I worked in refugee resettlement. Seeing that Afghan family who went from rural Kandahar to the Red Roof Inn off the interstate. The look on their faces when I dropped them off. Dark fucking shit.
Listen, I was there when the first afghans evacuees got off the plane at Dulles in late July 2021. But a few months later we had nice liberals in the community asking us if they could host a Ukrainian family. "What about Afghan or Congolese?"
"Oh, no thanks"
Racist fucking country, man

A note on SaneWashing: I read part of this post to family (all liberal Democrats who consume a lot of news, but not social media), and it blew their mind. They all thought it was parody: if Corporate Media did not SaneWash, it would shock US, his approval would plummet from low (30s) to lower(20s).
