Swear words aren’t obscene. Economic injustice, racism, homophobia, tearing innocent children from their mothers, lack of access to healthcare, treating the planet with contempt, undermining democracy, and 3000 unfuckingnecessary deaths a day is obscene.
So the WH put out a statement from the president's doctor that spelled the experimental drug he's on incorrectly, and also said he "misspoke" when he read "72 hours" off a sheet of paper, and meant to say 2 days ago (!?!).
My mother died of COVID-19 one month ago.
I am going to share the story of her illness in the hope that it helps someone. She was a doctor and always wanted to help people. If this informs anyone else’s behavior or care, maybe she still can. Please RT. 1/n
During last week’s debate, I laid out my plans to put North Carolinians’ interests first in Washington, while Sen. Tillis demonstrated that his top priority is pleasing Washington Republicans.

Frankly, I don’t understand why they didn’t just say: “We’re the Senate majority, and we’ll leverage that power to control the composition of SCOTUS in any way the law allows.” Nobody believes they’re acting on some made-up Fizzbin principle anyway, so why the pretense?
Rest in peace, Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
I pray that the same force of principles to which Justice Ginsburg held herself will help guide the leaders of this country.
This is why I want to slam my head on a desk whenever someone says the Electoral College is necessary to ensure small/rural/middle/whatever states are properly heard.
It does the opposite. It makes politicians see each state as a bastardized, one-dimensional parody of itself.
I urge anyone reading this, Catholic or not, churchgoer or not, to oppose this use of religious symbolism—an award for "Christlikeness"—which will only serve to legitimize government cruelty and killing.
