@johnleland You quote the gay police organization saying they have been a part of pride since its inception but this is literally untrue (unless you consider the fact that Stonewall '69 was literally a riot against police brutality.) Do better, less biased reporting.

@NYCFireWire Ick. I always thought firefighters were different than killer cops, but now I see you're just the same

@SenatorBurr NPR is a reputable news organization. You, on the other hand, are a politician who sold off $1.6million in stocks the same day you told us all everything was going to be just okay. Don't shift the blame. Take ownership for your actions.

To be honest, the one thing I learned from the UN report on climate change that just came out is that the whole world's gonna burn up before I have to pay back my student loans. Heyyyyyyyy.

If you have a religious objection to tearing the families of asylum seekers apart, can your business refuse to serve members of the Trump administration?

The irony of the #yannyorlaurel debate being the thing that replaces all of the conversations about @ltsGambino new music video on all my social media newsfeeds.

Sometimes you have to remind yourself that someone even cheated on Beyoncé.

Cheating isn’t about something you need to fix about yourself.

The US Senate is obviously anti-democratic. So why haven't we abolished it yet?

[Erik Zimmerman @eriknoteric1]

Even though the US population is center-left, because left-wing voters are centralized in a few urban states, conservative, less populated states wield an immense amount of power.

[Erik Zimmerman @eriknoteric1]

Why aren't more people talking about how the very way in which the US Senate is constructed - 2 seats from every state - gives the US Government an inherently rightist, conservative lean?

Okay but sometimes writing something is kind of like purging your body of emotions, and it feels so painful but in the end is such a release

I have secretly become obsessed with all the poorly produced British reality TV shows that populate Netflix these days. I don't know how to stop!
