There will be some things we can't unfuck when MAGA is gone

[derek guy @dieworkwear]

christopher nolan should cast unaffordable housing in his next film so some of you get mad about that for two weeks

[Marco Foster @MarcoFoster_]

Hunter Biden on Trump: “We’re living under a dictatorship right now. It’s less Adolf Hitler because he’s not as concentrated as that. It’s more Idi Amin. It’s buffoonery, complete and utter incompetence. On top of a giant grift of the likes no one in the world has ever seen”

I remember when getting a consensual blowjob was enough to warrant an impeachment. Now Presidents can pay out $5M+ to the victims they raped and no one fucking bats an eye

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

Sen. @Ossoff: Who won the 2020 election?

DNI nominee Jay Clayton: I'm not going to do this with you

Ossoff: This is a job interview. You have an obligation to be honest with the committee.

Clayton: I'm not gonna get into that with you

Ossoff: You refuse to answer a basic question about who won a presidential election, but you ask to lead America's intelligence community. Isn't it humiliating to be unable to answer this question? To have to indulge the president's delusions?

Screw-worm in the meat.
Cyclosporiasis in the produce.
During a food affordability crisis.
During a massive cut in SNAP & WIC.

Again, elections have consequences.

They told us we could only have a corn tortilla, a piece of broccoli, and one other thing. Now we can’t even eat the piece of broccoli because if we do, we’ll shit ourselves to death.

All you had to do was vote for the Black lady.

Ok hear me out: instead of all of us having to become extremely knowledgeable on a new infectious disease every 3-6 months, what if we got a large group of experts together and just put them in charge of giving us easy to understand health recommendations. They could also do things like track outbreaks and predict future concerns.

Clarence Thomas argued the 14th Amendment was written narrowly for former enslaved people and doesn't apply broadly today. Using that same logic, the 2nd Amendment was written for muskets and doesn't apply to AR-15's, but somehow, he's never made that argument.

[Renee @PettyLupone]

JUSTICE KETANJI BROWN JACKSON

wrote separately to legally torch Clarence Thomas on birthright citizenship which can basically be summed up as:

“Can you believe the nerve of this mofo?”

[Centrism Fan Acct 🔹 @Wilson__Valdez]

Alito is very obviously retiring, they just jumped the gun posting it. He will be replaced by a 30 year old Federalist society hack who will be on the bench for 40 years.

Again, the results of everyone's actions in 2016 will doom the country for decades and decades.

[HealthRanger @HealthRanger]

Does anybody else find it odd that SCOTUS ended Roe vs. Wade with the argument that an unborn child is a life worth protecting, yet that same court also decided that pesticide and herbicide corporations have an unlimited right to kill children, adults and the elderly?

[Patrick Skinner @SkinnerPm]

Only in America do we angrily and repeatedly insist, standing over the bodies of our neighbors, that guns have nothing to do with gun violence.

@sosa_sann @edwards_kevin76 @FreddyLA7 Heck no!

The Lessons I Learned from My Dad

I am not the man my father is.
I am trying. Some days closer. Some days farther.
He never sat me down and explained these lessons. He lived them. I’m still learning them.

Show up.
The kitchen table. The hospital room. The funeral. The picket line. The call from the son who won’t answer.
Show up.
Most days that’s the whole job.
My whole life I watched him do it. Not for cameras. Not for headlines. Not because there was something in it for him. He showed up because someone needed him.

I learned that grief doesn’t make you special.
My father buried a wife and daughter. He buried a son. Yet he never treated grief as a claim on other people’s sympathy. Instead, it made him notice theirs.
A mother who lost a child. A father sitting beside a hospital bed. A kid scared about what comes next. A son who lost his mother, his sister, his brother.
He always noticed.

I learned that power is not the point.
The people who chase power eventually confuse the office with themselves.
My father never did.
Whether he was a county councilman, a senator, vice president, or president, he was the same man.
The title changed.
He didn’t.

I learned that family comes first.
The train from Wilmington wasn’t symbolism.
It was every night.
He read to us. Showed up to games. Sat through hospital rooms. Waited up for children who were lost.
And when the day came that the country and the family could not both have him at full strength, he chose family. He relinquished the last chapter of how he wanted to be remembered. And he never complained about it.

Most of all, I learned that love is not soft.
Love is discipline.
Love is showing up at one in the morning when nobody is watching.
Love is answering the phone.
Love is staying.
Love is getting back up after life knocks you down and doing it all again tomorrow.
That love saved my life.
I’ve failed at many of these lessons, sometimes in very public ways.
He loved me anyway.

That’s the last lesson.
I am not trying to become my father.
I am trying to carry what he gave me.
And if I can do that, even imperfectly, that will be enough.

Happy Father’s Day, Dad. I love you.
