I genuinely don't understood how America took the emoluments clause -- the common-sense bar on a president using his powers to line his own pockets, a law children can understand -- and just said, nah, that doesn't apply for our Very Special Boy.
He’s turned the presidency into the world’s largest ATM machine.

You're paying for this.

Trump's Big Ugly Bill gave BILLIONS to ICE and giant corporations—using money meant to lower your health care costs.

Instead of helping your mom get cancer treatment, your tax dollars are being used to terrorize communities.

Kant's categorical imperative strikes again: getting the "Why are you on Twitter" comments

This post made DHS look very stupid in the most public way available to me. 7.5 million people saw it on Twitter alone, and now there's a community note that shows up on the DHS post

That's good actually
Good morning, not only have I ratio'd DHS into the ground (they're sitting at about 12K likes) this is now my third most popular post of all time

This. This this this this this. This has been my mantra all year.

We will win. We will triumph. It's not going to be this month. It almost certainly won't be this year.

Find things that bring you joy--people especially--and drink the very liquid pleasure of it all. It will fuel your fight.
"During the darkest days of the AIDS crisis, we buried our friends in the morning, we protested in the afternoon, and we danced all night.

The dance kept us in the fight because it was the dance we were fighting for."
I'm gonna say this with all the kindness in my heart: you aren't going to survive if you don't let your life have room for other things.

This is not a short term fight where we can just go 24/7 and then it will be over. We've got YEARS ahead of us. Take a break. Hydrate. Go bake something. Breathe.
