Guys. The POS didn't accept the results IN 2016! He won the f**king election and STILL claimed it was rigged. So if Dem leaders have no plan for the looming chaos by now, they will never have one. But I do: Me & 10 million of my friends are going to DC to drag him out ourselves.

“We don’t have time, Nephew, time has us. It holds us in its mouth like an owl holds a field mouse. We shiver. We struggle for release, and then it pecks out our eyes and intestines for sustenance and we die the death of field mice.”

Wrote a bunch of pieces for ACLU Magazine's Summer 2020 issue, including a feature on the ACLU's unrelenting efforts to reform/abolish cash bail, a mission that only became more urgent with the arrival of COVID. @UdiACLU aclu.org/sites/default/

Did I miss it? Has a single - @senatemajldr - stated publicly that explicitly destroying the USPS to slow ballots is an assault on American democracy that will prevent Americans - including R voters - from exercising their most basic right?
I want next VP tasked with orchestrating the investigation and prosecution of every corrupt act and official in the previous administration. No pardons, no passes. When this is over, America needs justice. She's the one to bring it, for sure.
I know life is an unprecedented shitshow right now, but I just came into the living room to find that my 16-mo.-old had pulled Ray Bradbury, Audre Lorde, Graham Greene, and down from the bookshelf, so I’m feeling mad optimistic for the first time in ages.

Trump is laying the groundwork to reject the election results with bogus claims that the vote will be “rigged” against him—because he’s losing. It’s the dangerous act of an authoritarian, more common to places like Zimbabwe. Here’s how to prepare for it:

My biggest takeaway: Biden needs to create a Secretary of Percussion cabinet position in his first hundred days.

Black Lives Matter turns 7 years old today. To celebrate it would be amazing if #BreonnaTaylor’s killers were arrested. She should be 27 years old.

Former U.S Navy Seal Dr. Dan Barkhuff wants to know if @realDonaldTrump is a coward who can't stand up to Putin or if he's complicit.
Well, Donald, which is it?

OK, : it's waaaay past time you retired the phrase "racial tension." Imagine an obsessed man constantly threatening his ex and describing them as having "stalking tension." #badlanguage
I think for many people the talk about defunding is (completely understandably) overwhelming and hard to imagine. I really do get that. and what I also get is that many people know and/or have interacted with "good apples" and this answer seems extreme. so let's talk about that.

You folks always seem to forget that the full proverb is “one bad apple SPOILS THE WHOLE BARREL” this is because rotten apples produce huge amounts of ethylene which cause ALL THE OTHER APPLES TO ALSO BECOME ROTTEN the metaphor IS NOT ABOUT ISOLATED ROT its about COLLECTIVE ROT

STAY WOKE: I understand that people want to get back to normal. But normal is toxic for us. Keep your knee on these politians and keep them working in our collective interest. Continue to post, inform and complain. They’re hoping you go back to posting bullshit that don’t matter.
