I am demanding that the Democrats invite Mullin’s accusers to testify about this weirdo behavior in painstaking detail.

I want charts. Expert witnesses. Reenactments.

We coulda had nice things.

Choices were made, often by toxic dudebros with overt racism issues and domination extraction fetishes.

Fuck no I'm not optimistic.

My doc told me the titers testing was less useful than what most people think and that to be safe I should just get the MMR booster.

I was alarmed at all the different information I was getting.

Depressing.

I think it was a mistake to put right-wing hot-take podcasters in charge of the FDA, NIH, CDC, and CMSβ€”the so-called β€œMAGA podcaster to policy pipeline”

It is difficult not to have constant hate in my heart.

I kinda think Reason Magazine will run a piece defending Kalshi, picked up by the Daily Wire portraying them as a free market under assault by the censorious left, turned into a Fox and Friends segment about the value of teaching kids to gamble, ending with their getting a no-bid $300m DHS contract.

OKAY. For real though.

I WISH ALL OF THIS WAS A MISSPOKE.
A MISDREAM.
A MISSFIRE OF REALITY.

They do keep finding more and more ignorant abusive people to put into positions of power.

Eventually we'll hit the bottom. Right?

Let me be clear: I’m glad Kristi Noem was fired. But we still have to abolish ICE.

A basic calculation is available to all of us - in each situation is power used to abuse extract or dominate or is it used in solidarity to lift up, enrich and or/assist.

Are those in situational power positive positions accountable to those with less power?

Often a starkly obvious comparison.

man, graham platner is not actually young and it’s really insulting our collective intelligence to claim he’s working his way through the youthful confusions of learning how to take accountability for your actions

My relationship to older not-that-tech-savvy folks makes me very aware of the shit silicon valley types expect to be obvious but really just isn't and this is why I'm begging people in positions of power to hire some midwesterners who care about people.

This is a man who kneels to pray, brags to his God about how many people he killed today, and thinks he gets a spiritual fist bump and a guttural β€œhell yeah, brother” from the divine.
