They won’t even entertain the idea that maybe fewer guns means fewer people using those guns for mass murder. They say it’s a mental health issue, yet vote against all healthcare expansions. What else is there to say at this point? We are a diseased country.

Imagine coming from nowhere to write one of the most successful and beloved series of books in human history and then choosing to have “she was a hateful shithead to trans people” be your legacy instead. Truly a wild move.

So some of you really think this will all end with Trump in an orange jumpsuit wasting away in prison? This is America, friends. Trump is a rich, connected, white man. He'll get a fine, claim victory, and act like even more of a martyr.

Pretty remarkable that America temporarily constructed a safety net during Covid — including major health care coverage, food benefits, anti poverty funding for families & kids, etc — and then just systematically and slowly demolished it

But…but this opens the door to all prior presidents being prosecuted for their crimes. Don’t threaten me with a good time, pal.

Some of y’all are so damn soft. Soft and racist. A white girl talks trash and it’s fun and fiery. A black girl talks trash and it’s classless. Same old race-based, pearl-clutching nonsense.

Very funny to see all the people who paid for blue checks complaining that they still can't get anyone to like their tweets. Folks out here like: "What the hell, I paid so you would lower the hoop to 8 feet and I still can't dunk!"

Jordan Neely was a New Yorker. He was a person. When he began to suffer from mental illness the city’s social safety net failed him, as it had failed countless others. When he exhibited signs of his mental illness in public he was murdered on the F train.

Saw a man strolling through the heavy haze in Manhattan today smoking a cigarette. Heard his lungs screaming as I passed him but a part of me couldn’t help but respect the double-down.

This Supreme Court killed Roe v. Wade, Affirmative Action, the separation of church and state, the Clean Air Act, Miranda rights, made it legal for businesses to discriminate against LGBTQ+ people, and blocked student loan cancellation. Fuck that undemocratic clown car.

A lot of y’all are like: I care deeply for human rights and believe every life is precious and needs to be protected. The indiscriminate murder of civilians hurts my soul. I wish for peace and equality for everyone.* *Except for Palestinians.
