Boy, the Founders really screwed up by not creating a branch of government capable of reigning in a deranged sociopath president.
Huge oversight on their part.
Matt Walsh and these other right-wing empty men who think they're avatars of über-masculinity particularly hate Alex Pretti because he exemplified the virtues they love to extol but are too cowardly to actually embody.
They cosplay as trad men by dressing up in campy plaid shirts and sitting in podcast studios with a log cabin aesthetic.
Alex Pretti went to the street to fight for causes he believed in, protected and helped others in both how he protested (he was helping two women when ICE grabbed him) and in his work as an ICU nurse. He lived the values they pretend defines them, all while they lack the courage to ever do or risk anything. He's a reminder to them of what they're not: a mirror showing their own fragility.
That's why they feel vicariously strong watching ICE agents shoot him in the back and killed him.
Thank you mom @HillaryClinton for coming to the @nycmarathon finish line! Was awesome to run today with my best friend Jen for @everymomcounts. Hope you will join us in supporting their vital work to make pregnancy and childbirth safe for every mother, everywhere. (And, I can’t believe we ran a 3:45:51!)

I posted the below last night in an emotional mood. It was answered by many generous comments in remembrance of my lost Miranda, and I thank every commenter. Of course there were also some other comments. A thread about those....
As @ReverendWarnock says “A doctor’s office is too small for a woman, her doctor, and the United States government” and @Tim_Walz often says, the government should “mind (its) own damn business.” /END
There are very few predictable constants in life as much as how much powerful women trigger Donald Trump…. Particularly ones who publicly make it clear they think he is garbage.
Taylor Swift is doing nothing but winning here.
Tim Walz: Here’s my life hack for all the guys out there: surround yourself with smart women and listen to them and you’ll do just fine. That includes my fellow cat owner Taylor Swift.
It’s really great to have all of these women help us beat the smallest man in the world.. Donald Trump
I’ve got to be honest, I’m not even really familiar with Taylor Swift’s music. I’m 51. It’s not my thing. But anyone who can rattle Trump like this, is a goddess in my book.
BREAKING: Chris Wallace just completely demolished Donald Trump’s debate performance. Wallace went so far as to call Donald Trump’s debate performance tonight the worst debate performance in American history. Retweet to make sure all Americans see this
Hume: She was composed. She was prepared. She kept her cool. She saw advantages and took them. She baited him successfully which is the story of the debate in my view. So she came out ahead in this in my opinion… no doubt.
These are text messages, exactly as they were written and sent, between a mother and her two daughters during yesterday’s shooting at Apalachee High School.
The family shared the texts with The Washington Post. Both daughters were unharmed and now safe.
