Black Americans are the only people who are expected to respond to centuries of tyranny with “peaceful protests” 🥴

How many times do ”Christians” have to sell this dude out before they get the irony?

Are you a MAGA conservative upset by facts you can’t accept? Ask your doctor about Ipsum Lorem today.

When you’re window to take the online driver’s license test is btw 1&4pm, your internet goes down at 1:05, comes back at 3:55, you scramble, and find out the DMV never sent you the link. 🤬

Huskies. -20 and six feet of snow, not a problem. A little rain? “How can I pee in these conditions, dad?!”

Sometimes it feels like democracy has just devolved into a packed Golden Corral one minute after someone says they’re running out of prime rib.

Good luck in RF though!

People saying that Dems are going to get *tired* and leave to make McCarthy speaker really don't know about the recuperative powers of watching a guy who threw his hat in with people who came to your office to kill you suffer repeated humiliations.

The GOP couldn’t even pick a team captain, but they promise they’ll go to bat for you. 😂

Today is Fairbanks’ first Homeless Persons’ Memorial Day. No one should die for lack of housing but they do - every day. We honor those we’ve lost by telling their stories. #HPMD2022

"Why did the process think this was the best way forward?" - only question Zaidi and Kapler should be asked now. Loser team. Force them to implicate the ownership group (a reminder that Rob Dean and Greg Johnson represent a group, not just Greg's dad)

We got our fireplace working! (Ironically, we didn’t have one in our Anchorage house, and Burnham has never seen real fire.)

I've been working obsessively on a custom bookshelf for our living room. Heather, at one point, was, like, "Why are you this manic about it?" Well, it's finally coming together. And I realized, that was the mania. Actualization, to a political scientist, is *the* white whale.

Zaidi is a day trader in a bull market. And that’s an issue. #SFGiants

I blocked that stupid account, because they clearly have their own shit to work out, and after trying to reasonably argue a fairly nominal point for three days, I'm out of spoons and fucks.

Jesus, you are blinded by partisanship. I don't give a fuck what letter you hyphenate after your name. I lived in Alaska for 16 years. I left the Democratic Party 12 years ago. I've voted for Republicans. You, sir, can't see the forest for the Newsmax.
