Yeah sucks to have your reproductive freedom taken away doesn’t it

Never forget.

The boyfriend that abused me cried a lot.

The most offensive line in Michelle Wolf’s routine was “Flint still doesn’t have clean water;” if something else she said bothers you more than that then maybe we shouldn’t trust your judgment about anything.

By the grace of God & the fellowship of others in recovery, today I celebrate eight years clean & sober. If you struggle with a substance or mental illness (or both, like me) & think there’s no hope for you, know I have been where you are. And now I’m here, and I love company.

Well, this was fun.

Are you made Jussie Smollett wasted police resources? Do you think there should be high penalties for false crime reports? OK! One study found *70% of false crime reports are white people citing black attackers.* Black people have been hoping for a crack down on this *for years.*

Chris Cuomo just said, regarding the coronavirus crisis and the debate: Bernie will “try to make it a healthcare issue.”

“I only rape a certain type of woman” is maybe not the defense Trump seems to think it is.

I would like to remind anyone who’s feeling blue tonight that you are a goddamn miracle, created from the same stuff as the stars. Your presence on Earth is a gift. You matter. You are loved. Whatever you feel right now is smaller than the totality of you and it. will. pass. Xo

At some point in the nearish future, Trump will look directly into a camera and say, “I never tried to repeal and replace Obamacare.”

Laura Ingraham is worried this result may embolden Democrats to call for Trump’s resignation over sexual assault allegations against him. Yes that’s kind of the point.

It’s been said before but it needs to be said every day: If you’ve ever wondered what you’d have done during the civil rights era or if you would have stood up to fascism in Europe, well, history is watching you now. Not picking a side is the same as picking the wrong one.

There’s shit I went through in high school I will take with me to my grave don’t tell me “how could she wait 30 years?” Survivors of sexual violence (women and men) don’t say more than they say.

Today will never be undone but it can be avenged.

I don’t know how you are commemorating the US World Cup win, but I intended to adopt this pose at any hint of personal success. Met a deadline? RAPINOE POSE! Worked out when I didn’t want to? RAPINOE POSE! Nailed an ad read? RAPINOE POSE! Stayed sober today? RAPINOE POSE!

Clinton continuing to put out serious policy proposals even as we drown in memes and rage is probably the best argument to vote for her.

I fucking wish.

Good morning. Today, by the grace of a power greater than myself & the guidance of others who have gone before me, I celebrate 9 years of sobriety. Every day has been a miracle. I am grateful to KNOW my miracle; I hope these times help you realize your life is a miracle, too. /1

I feel like people are not making a big enough deal about Florida restoring voting rights to formerly incarcerated people. There are about 1.5M people (20% of FL’s Af-Am adult population)who stand to benefit from this. In 2016, Trump won Florida by just over 100,000 votes.

Literally woke up 2h before my alarm like a kid on fucking Christmas...or a neurotic 40-something barely able to suppress her panic about creeping authoritarianism.

I could not love Elizabeth Warren more if she was herself a golden retriever.

No, not for nothing. My god, not for nothing. She set off a time bomb. Women (and men) are telling their stories in solidarity with what she has done. Hers was not the only testimony that was heard today. And our voices will be heard, if not today then in November.

Presidents don’t demand personal apologies from individual reporters and call for their jobs. Authoritarians do.

If you bring salad to my Thanksgiving you will eat it outside by yourself.

Everyone understands that virgins can also attempt to rape and expose themselves to people, right?

Surely this deserves the same media attention as any Covington prep rally.

Men’s tears in response to an accusation are manipulative and cheap but usually effective.

Man, imagine if the right believed in unfettered access to the ballot box as much as they believed in the right to own guns.

This is such an elegant fuck you.

At this point, it doesn’t matter whether impeachment is “bad politics;” the president has *committed impeachable offenses* and to ignore that is its own abuse of power.

If only women’s incandescent rage could replace fossil fuels.

He just got the crowd to chant "animals" as a response to "what did I call them?" And I bet some people in that crowd think of themselves as Christians.

The real stunt was the Abbott press conference, not Beto interrupting it.

When do we start marching over this

Does anyone else have what they consider to be their “dressy” sweatpants?

In my drinking days, I used to obsessively watch the clock, counting down to when it would be socially permissible to get wasted. Now, I do the same, but for going to bed.

Literally a right and not a privilege.

I always thought it would take some kind of evil mastermind to undermine all that America stands for but no it’s the guy who can’t grasp time zones and who thinks stealth planes are invisible.

It’s not that I’m surprised it happened, but I can’t believe we’ve reached the “so a few hundred thousand people die, the economy is more important” stage *so fucking quickly.*

I don’t know who else needs to hear this but I do: Congrats, you made it to the end of the day. Whatever you did today was enough. However hard you worked was hard enough. And however bad today was, tomorrow will be different. And you will still be enough.

Trump bringing Bannon into the WH is a rejection of the promise to be President for “all Americans.” We can stop giving him a chance now.

He used tear gas to clear peaceful protesters so he could get his picture took. Imagine what he’ll do to get reelected.

Spoken like someone who doesn’t realize there was a time she wouldn’t have been able to vote.

This debate is an ad for Elizabeth Warren.

Of all the days to play victim. Of all the fucking days.

I look forward to the election of Senator Stephen King from the great state of Maine.

A few months late, but finally sat down over the weekend to mark making it another 365 days, one day at a time.

I was actually at this event, and this is a much more accurate unspooling of the exchange than McCain simply saying “he’s not an Arab.” I’d add even more context: the McCain campaign was HYPER AWARE of the birther/racist attacks on Obama being made elsewhere.

I wish I was as confident as others appear to be that Kavanaugh is “done,” but you should never underestimate the patriarchy.

This country has so fetishized wealth, and so demonized the IDEA of taxation, I worry people won’t get that Trump’s ruling class cosplay (losing gobs of money while living large) was a con whose mark wasn’t the government, but *his fellow Americans.*

I would buy this t-shirt. (And happen to think Jesus Christ would approve of his invocation here.)

Nothing says "I'm an independent and impartial jurist" like writing a WSJ op-ed. (Honestly thought this was a parody for a minute.)

And then *I* would apologize.

These are literally images of Trump’s America.

Imagine if conservatives had had this much evidence connecting Obama to ISIS.

Impressive flex from the postal workers union.

Guys, I'm beginning to think Paul Ryan doesn't really give a fuck about poor people.

So angry! Does he have blood coming out of his wherever?

It is okay to not have strong opinions on things you don’t fully understand. A public service announcement.

This kind of casual misogyny shouldn’t surprise me and yet.

This is some kind of fucking joke, right?

Pretty sure it feels like a counter-intuitive and fun “take” to talk up Marianne Williamson, but if you want a serious primary, RESIST. I don’t hate the lady, she has her place, but that is in the inspirational aisle of the bookstore not in the White House.

This is what happens when utter greed meets utter incompetence. You’d usually need a lab for results this pure.

THE OWNS ARE COMING FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE

These motherfuckers.

I don’t know who else needs to hear this but I do: You did enough. You did the exact right amount of your to-do list that you got here, to Friday. Do what you can do today, no more. Your continued existence on this planet and growth is the real work of your life. Prioritize it.

Willie Nelson is a goddamn national treasure if your politics prevent you from enjoying him then by all means just listen to Lee Greenwood on the repeat until your ears bleed.

Everyone saying “but remember Bevin was personally extremely unpopular,” well, you know who else is “personally extremely unpopular”????!

I finally read the whole AP Trump interview transcript I just don’t know anymore let’s all hold each other tight until the sobbing stops.

Jesus LOVED the poor, you vicious fucks.

Gosh, guys, I don’t think Jared is gonna have time to solve the opioid epidemic now.

I do not regret at all giving money to many different progressive organizations this year but… the texts. Dear god, the texts.

I get the tattoo marking another year of recovery long after my sober day (March 23) passes — it’s worth celebrating *every day*, after all. Here’s to year eight, day 2,996.
