this isn't a Russian poem, this is not somewhere else but here,
our country moving closer to its own truth and dread,
its own ways of making people disappear.

“Anyone who is not prepared to stand up and fight for the Constitution doesn't deserve to lead.”

Well, that means the entirety of the corporate Democratic establishment has no right to lead the party.

Schumer is unfit as are the coastal corporate leadership wings of the party.
Sen. Van Hollen: "I don't think it's ever wrong to fight for the constitutional rights of one person because if we give up on one person's rights, we threaten everybody's rights...Anyone who is not prepared to stand up and fight for the Constitution doesn't deserve to lead."

Beyond redemption. I’m an atheist, and I am still disgusted by this perversion of the words of Jesus. Deliver us from evil.
Add a dose of propaganda to your morning coffee.. This smells of Russian-like “special operation”

I just issued an executive order to safeguard vaccine access in Minnesota.

While the Trump Administration attempts to limit Americans’ access to preventative care, Minnesota will continue to be guided by science and the freedom to seek out medical expertise.

Nearly two decades after my principal said we couldn't do anything about kids' phones, so we had to figure out how to use them in our lessons, and after two decades of schools failing to "teach kids how to use them responsibly," phones are being banned and we're getting the same message about AI.

I've spent a lot of time thinking about this fascinating exchange Colbert had with Dua Lipa, when she asked him about the role his faith plays in his comedy.

I used to give a talk about the practical effect of satire, which (TLDR) there isn’t any.

I’d say: Presidents (Clinton, GHW Bush) didn’t only not mind being mocked, they both did bits with the comics who impersonated them.

Then I said; imagine how terrible it would be if a President did care.

The notion that Trump's "I'm king" tweet is "just trolling" or "a joke" presents an opportunity to recreate my just-joking thread (porting it over from the Bad Place):

1. I wrote my PhD dissertation on the social function of humor (in literature & film) and here's the thing about "just joking."

Our trans neighbors will continue to be safe, protected, and welcome in Minnesota.

Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare.

Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.”

We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽
