When a clown moves into the palace, he doesn't become a king. The palace becomes a circus.
I live on a blue island in the middle of a blue ocean. Hoping to be safe from the current regime, but I'm sort of addicted to democracy.

The most brutal way of telling someone they’re a few sandwiches short of a picnic that I’ve heard in French is t’es pas la truite la plus oxygénée de la rivière. It means “you’re not the most oxygenated trout in the river.”

AOC: Oh, hell no. It was a joke. This was not a serious intelligence briefing. This was the communication of an opinion.

I long ago quit admitting to anyone that I did my undergrad at Penn. What a cesspit. Except for Luigi.

It’s very funny to me that countries are trying to pass laws banning teens from social media until they’re older and can “handle it” as if the last decade hasn’t been about watching rich middle aged men nuke their brains on Twitter and then run the USA via shitpost.
Dude. Yes. Alito and Thomas are of course the standout examples, but all of the Republican justices have tells in their writing and their questioning indicating that they are, to varying degrees, marinating their brains in dumb bitch juice

Kid3 is going to another city for a mock trial tournament with her college team this weekend. Just found out that the hotel they are using is housing an ICE team. She’s got her passport card, which establishes she’s a citizen (since adoption, by law). Hope that’s enough. Fuck ICE scum.

The New York Essential plan is being eliminated entirely next year due to the GOP healthcare cuts. People’s lives are at stake.
