What pisses me off the most is that the Senate has just disenfranchised the millions of Democrats who actually showed up to vote. Not the swing voters, or the 3rd of Americans who can’t be bothered.
The people who actually did care enough to vote. The Senate just told those voters to Fuck Off.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Every single Democratic senator who votes for this must be ousted. And then tarred and feathered and driven into exile.

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.
