    If you can't stomach looking at yourself in the mirror -- figuratively and literally -- because you know you do nothing in your life for others and your political values are empty words, the solution is to change, not malign others who aren't plagued by your selfish emptiness.

    Adoption of orphans and other children with no parents to care for them is one of the most beautiful acts humans have managed to create, and - as we saw during the Amy Coney Barrett nomination - these hate-filled, miserable, selfish ghouls are trying to degrade it as racist evil.

    The adoption system operates on colonialism and racism

    A bunch of CIA goons and related security state cretins from both parties are urging that Congress not take action to restrict the monopolistic power of Big Tech, and everyone should spend a few minutes thinking about why that is:

    On today's podcast, I talk w/ about AOC's 'tax the rich' dress, Nicki Minaj's tweet, all those fake 'Dear Prudence' letters, and (per 's suggestion) the strange disappearance of butch lesbians. Watch it all here!

    One of the lessons of past 5 years in US is that people at highest echelons of various institutions are still capable of absolutely paranoid thinking. Milley also reportedly worried that Jan 6 would set off a Russian Revolution. lol.

    So many of the defenses of General Milley presuppose that the risks he perceived were real - that Trump was about to fire off nukes or invade China. Is there any evidence that this is the case? Just seems to me like Orange Man Bad on steroids.

    It's not easy to remember an ever-expanding and seemingly arbitrary list or random letters strung together in the least harmonic way possible, so anyone mocking Prime Minister Trudeau for this should have more empathy for how hard it is.

    I'm just observing that Biden's repeated pro-Russia actions and policies seem odd, and that we need to ask what it is that Putin has on Biden: personally, financially or politically?

    Replying to @ggreenwald
    Are you insinuating that Biden is in Putin's pocket?

    The 4-year-long conspiracy theory spread by virtually every corporate liberal media outlet that the Kremlin was controlling the US Government for its own interests through the use of blackmail was one of the most embarrassing and pathetic fiascos in the history of journalism.

    Another interesting question to explore for the highly esteemed, steadfastly neutral, and fundamentally non-partisan fact checkers who work for large media corporations is whether Russian interests have been better served by the Trump administration or the Biden administration.🇷🇺

    Could the highly esteemed, steadfastly neutral, and fundamentally non-partisan fact checkers who work for large media corporations let us know whether this extraordinary claim concluding Trump's latest statement is true or not? If it were, it seems like we'd hear more about it.

    The police are going to exist. Most people -- especially the poor and those who live in the most dangerous neighborhoods -- don't want them abolished or defunded. Everyone has an interest in reform, including (especially) well-motivated cops. It doesn't have to be ideological.

    When Rio City Councilwoman Marielle Franco was assassinated in 2018 (still unsolved), many on the right accused her of being anti-police: until mothers of slain police officers stepped forward to say she was the only one to help: taking public buses for hours to provide aid.

    The chances that a police officer will be killed in large Brazilian cities is higher than soldiers in war zones. Many have PTSD, mental health pathologies & very high suicide rates: confronting hideous violence for low pay. Funding programs like this reduces brutality and abuse.

    One thing that interests me most are political projects that erode pointless left-right divisions, to unite people for actual results. 's police project in Brazil is to fund more mental health services for police officers: helping them & reducing brutality/abuse.

    Apresentei o PL 6355/19 que trata da saúde mental dos policiais. Cuidar da saúde mental do policial é uma prioridade do Estado para que possam exercer um papel mais humanizado. Pressionem o Congresso e os parlamentares para aprovarmos o projeto ainda esse mês.

    Mais armas não irá resolver os problemas de segurança pública. Precisamos valorizar os praças, com melhores condições de trabalho, de salário e um plano de carreira menos elitista. Hoje, conseguimos retirar de pauta o PL7226, na Comissão de Relações Exteriores e Defesa Nacional.

    "There is something uniquely disturbing—creepy even—about becoming accustomed to seeing political and cultural elites wallowing in luxury without masks, while those paid small wages to serve them are forced to keep cloth over their faces."

    (Apologies for the vague construction of the prior tweet. The one hospitalized with pneumonia was the small black dog in that photo, Kane, not me).

    There's a reason it's called MSDNC.

    I’m sorry but the recall was a complete and unmitigated disaster for Republicans and the forces pushing it. They got destroyed and in some ways it’s the first concrete piece of evidence that Trumpism has enduring political costs.

    When you finally get discharged after being in the hospital for 9 days with pneumonia and other serious health problems -- all recovered and happy to go home -- only to discover that the assholes you live with got yet another puppy.

    Or like cheering the union of state and corporate/monopolistic power to censor political speech off the internet because you somehow convince yourself that power will be used only against your political adversaries.

    Replying to @ggreenwald
    This is kind of like Obama expanding ICE and drone strikes and Democrats being fine with it because "what could possibly go wrong, there's no way this could turn out to be really bad in the future!"
