How to know you're talking to a Nazi:
You: I hate Nazis.
Them: Define "Nazi."
Hope this helps. Non-Nazis are never, ever concerned that your definition of Nazi might include them.
A few weeks back, a dude got all road-ragey at me, and when I tried to get around him, he turned his car sideways in front of me so I couldn't avoid a crash.
The traffic cameras saved me: cops confirmed he caused it. Just yesterday I finally got his name, and googled him... 1/?
Summing up, I found a ragey right-wing manosphere douchebag who is REALLY BAD at insurance fraud.
Keep your eyes open. The stochastic terrorism of the Right has a lot of fans, and inspires all sorts of violence that won't make the news.

Dear Journalists: it is legal to add seats to the Supreme Court. It's been done before. It will be done again.
Violating the Hatch Act is illegal. Suppressing the vote is illegal. Violating campaign finance laws: illegal.
"Both sides" is a morally bankrupt disease. Get cured.
Found him on Twitter and other socials. What does he post? He retweets Andrew Tate, Jordan Peterson and Candace Owens.
Did I mention I have a Biden/Harris bumper sticker on my car?
2/?
It was my wife's first thought when I told her about the crash: "It was probably the bumper sticker."
I thought insurance fraud. And lo and behold... I found a court case where he had (unsuccessfully) sued someone else for a crash he caused.
But two things can be true. 3/?
My mother was big in the abortion rights movement. In the early 1960s, when abortion was still illegal, she had a miscarriage at around six months. So she's covered in blood, with a dead fetus between her legs, and the doctor told her she couldn't be cleaned up yet. GUESS WHY? 1/
There's a difference between "technically the law could be interpreted this way" and "its reasonable to interpret it this way" and "it's been interpreted this way in court." Please breathe a little
@AIsForOrg
P.S.: One more thing to make clear: my mother wasn't a big activist before her miscarriage. She was radicalized by the experience. She spent the rest of her life fighting to protect women from what she endured.
So, "please breathe a little,"

? Shut your mouth, you arrogant little worthless fuckstain. Let the people who are in danger of being criminalized for medical emergencies, who are being treated like brood mares, fight this with every ounce of their strength.
If I wrote a character like Tom Cotton, and named him "Tom Cotton," I would feel like a supremely lazy writer. He's a cartoon of a racist Arkansas Republican, with a cartoon name.
Rejected alternative names for Tom Cotton:

A full examination had to be done, and presented to a POLICE OFFICER, to prove my mom hadn't committed Manslaughter. Imagine that. Worst moment of your life, in pain, covered in blood, dead fetus. PLEASE WAIT LIKE THAT WHILE WE TREAT YOU LIKE A CRIMINAL.
Want to be worth something? Be just as outraged, as scared, as motivated to FIGHT, as women are. If you're not, SIT THE FUCK DOWN & GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE WAY.

Is today a good day to talk about how Michael Moore offered the crew of ROGER AND ME deferred pay, and then when he sold the movie to Warner Brothers for millions, he didn't pay them a dime?
Feel like it's always a good day to talk about that.

I’m fifty five, from Jersey, and have said it my whole life. I think you’re stretching there, sport, and confusing a simple regionalism with something archaic.
You know what makes you sound a zillion years old? Assuming everything you’re unfamiliar with is bad and wrong.
About the Death Penalty: I am against it in general, but sometimes I'm for it in the specific.
We should abolish it. It is immoral, it is not a deterrent, and it is unfairly applied.
BUT.
If we're going to have it... it was made for Dylann Roof.
Now: 4th Circuit upheld Dylann Roof's convictions + death sentence:
"No cold record or careful parsing of statutes and precedents can capture the full horror of what Roof did. His crimes qualify him for the harshest penalty that a just society can impose"

Another media figure vomiting up GOP talking points even as the voters of CA prove them to be complete nonsense.

Oh, little douchebagette. These days, no cashier touches your card. You stick it in a slot, slide it, or even just wave it over the reader.

Haven't heard a clear answer on that yet. But his insurance company is holding him liable. And the cops, in their report, call out reckless driving. I hope there are charges.

My mother suffered a late miscarriage in the early sixties. She lay on a gurney, covered in blood from the waste down... with a cop standing guard over her treating her like a murder suspect until a doctor showed up and confirmed it wasn’t abortion. 1/2
Or -- stay with me for a minute -- a dead-hearted manipulative liar who served an authoritarian monster for years is taking advantage of your natural empathy and punking you, to rehab her public image.
And you're falling for it. Occam's Razor slices this deception to shreds.

“The current climate?” So in a time of threat to democracy, you SPECIFICALLY want people to know you’re a smug, worthless douchebag who can’t be bothered to take a stand against fascism.
Great flex.
Of all the disgusting and intellectually dishonest stuff I've seen in my life, pretending to not understand why an African American in the present day would be related to slave-owners is the most nauseating.
Rape. The answer is rape, you fucking ghouls.
I've got a crazy idea for you, that happens to be true: the people who perform in porn are human beings, and if you treat them like trash because of how they earn a living, you're definitely not any kind of liberal.
Just in case you didn't know that.
When I was five, we had a housekeeper who came in once a week.
She asked to leave early one day. When my parents asked why, she said, "My husband is speaking at a Klan rally this evening."
They fired her. They explained why to me.
I was not too young to hear, or understand.

Listen, y’all are absolutely crazy if you think it’s okay to teach 6 year olds about racism and it’s concepts. I stand by that. A child’s (of all colors) innocence should be protected up until a certain age. 6 years old ain’t that age. Y’all can miss me with exposing kids to that
P.S. I know he's donated money to charities. So has Cosby. So has Weinstein. A lot of douchebags who don't pay their bills make public displays of "good works".
Moore undermined Gore, he undermined Clinton. He's Mr. Both Parties Are The Same. Yet people still take him seriously.

“What an upsetting experience! I will tell the story on twitter and be validated by my many friends and fans!”
One ratioing later... is self awareness an option?
This has been a big week for the Biden Administration and Democrats in Congress. First, Congress is on track to pass a bipartisan bill that will lower the cost of everything from cars to consumer goods, and make us less dependent on foreign semiconductors.
A reminder: Michael Moore is an idiot and a grifter, who makes more money when we’re under GOP rule. He said Gore and Bush were the same in 2000. That was the time to stop listening to him forever.
Without Twitter, I would have no idea that an incredibly decisive battle is being fought in Ukraine.
All the cable news channels are focused on Elizabeth 2, who is exactly as dead today as she was yesterday.
Hey,

. How about some real news?
I'm sorry your pet celebrity turned out to be a rapist, a rape apologist, a scab, a Union-buster, an abuser or simply a shitty human being.
It's possible to let the moment pass without defending them. No matter how much you liked their movie or tv show.
Try it!
As a Jew with a "Catholic" last name, for my entire life people have comfortably and confidently expressed their antisemitism in front of me, secure in the fact that I was part of their club, on their side.
So I am not particularly surprised by all the mask-off stuff this week.

The misogyny and abdication of responsibility for sexual desire to women is baked into his belief system. cf. "Adam and Eve and the Apple."
I'll go even further. None of this shit would be happening if Robert E. Lee had been hanged for treason. In 1865, we started teaching the worst people in America that they could get away with literally anything.
Nancy Pelosi never brought a vote if she didn't know she could win.
Calling the vote and losing is actually proof you can't whip your caucus, and therefore you aren't qualified for the job.
Never forget: on the eve of the election, Michael Moore wanted you to vote for Ralph Nader. I bet he's very concerned about the environment these days. And he thought Gore and Bush weren't much different.
Whenever someone says this, I like to remind them that Humphrey Bogart is the star of the THIRD adaptation of THE MALTESE FALCON.
It’s one of the laziest film bro opinions, and telegraphs the ignorance of the speaker.
Dear film makers. There has NEVER in the history of humankind been a remake that was better than the original. Sit down and read some indie author books from people who have great, unique ideas and no money to get them recognised.

You owe it to your friends — the ones Bob clearly believes are subhuman — to walk away from Bob and never look back.

Calling this a "secret" with a straight face, three decades after Iran-Contra brought it to light, is quite an indictment of the NYT.
Of all the weird-ass counter-intuitive takes... "I'm braver than you because I can't face the world without a loaded gun" is the strangest.
No, bro. Everyone who can go to Target on a Sat. without a light infantry combat weapon -- literally everyone -- is braver than you are.
@DonaldCalloway
You're not a comedian or a psychologist, you're an all-around racist guy.
If you supported Trump and don't consider yourself a racist, that just makes you stupid as well.
For those who just discovered the abortion issue yesterday and believe a lot of lies: at no time have the Democrats EVER had 60 Senators willing to codify abortion rights into law.
It has NEVER been possible.
It's up to us to MAKE IT POSSIBLE with better Senators.
Today, I once again heard that "blocking is cowardly."
Other "cowardly" things, apparently:
1) Walking away from a bore at a party
2) Hanging up on telemarketers
3) Refusing to take every flyer handed to you as you walk down the Vegas Strip
4) Changing the channel
Sorry for losing my temper, kids. I will listen to people complain about Democratic messaging with a range of tolerance. But a fucking JOURNALIST?

There's a lot to enjoy today, but the whining of struggle beards who have begun to grasp their own irrelevance is near the top of the list.
While I’m complaining, here’s a simple rule.
Never ever do a SINGLE FUCKING THING ON STAGE during the In Memoriam segment. No floor show distracting from the dead, dipshits.
With everything going on today, LA's biggest Bernie fans are outside Vroman's bookstore, harassing people waiting to see HRC.
@SenSanders
your biggest fans, once again, are shameful. You lied to them about HRC for a year, and then couldn't take it back. This is YOUR failure.
"Never Trumpers" are Republicans. They were on board with racism, homophobia, overturning Roe, with tax breaks for billionaires, etc. They just don't like Trump's manners.
When they have advice for the Democrats the correct response is to LAUGH IN THEIR FUCKING FACES.
Thanks.

Anyone who suggested Biden would replace Harris was relating their deepest misogynoir dreams, and not someone to take seriously.
If you thought for one second Joe Biden would drop Kamala Harris, you don’t understand the first thing about him, her, or the Democratic base.

In the 1860s, white people ran face first into cannons because their rich overlords created an avowedly white supremacist government for them to die for.
I call it Confederate Soldier Syndrome, and it's about to kill a hundred thousand people in the South. 1864 all over again.
Anyone who says “THE DEMOCRATS CONTROL ALL THREE BRANCHES!!!” fails basic civics and third grade math.
