- Iranian women are braver than Russian men.
- I'd just like to point out that, for 250 years, American presidents didn't need to ask for immunity.
- Even if Harris wins, a reminder that it should never have been this close. And we will need to reckon with the fact that half the country voted for fascism for a long time.
- Just lit my Shabbat candles with our space laser, like a total boss.
- If a football player kneeling during the national anthem is an act of appalling disrespect to the men and women who serve, what is it when the Commander in Chief refuses to go to the cemetery to honor fallen soldiers because of a little rain?
- To think we spent 20 years fighting violent religious extremists—abroad.
- Serious question: why is Louis DeJoy still Post Master General?
- That moment when you slow down for a minute and are hit, overwhelmed, once again by the rage and the grief, by how bone-crushingly unfair and monstrous this all is, for this small, insecure men to destroy so many lives for absolutely nothing.
- I didn't speak English when I immigrated to the United States. Now, I get paid to write in it. Just saying.
- The ADL didn’t think so, but the white nationalists did.Hitler-loving white nationalist Nick Fuentes on Elon Musk's salute: "That was a straight up like 'Sieg Heil',' like loving Hitler energy."
00:00 - Eighteen months into this pandemic, so many people I know are still feeling so down (myself included). One friend put it this way: the bad things are disproportionately destabilizing and the good things are insufficiently fortifying. Anyone else feeling this way?
- Last night when I was in the ER, I asked the absolutely wonderful doctor taking care of me if, five weeks into #COVID19, I were still contagious. He said he didn't know, adding, "The CDC has guidelines for this, but I don't trust the CDC anymore." That's where we are, folks.
