His stance on gun control doesn’t really agree with mine these days either, but there’s a reason for it: he is a survivor of the Parkland school shooting, and he was there as a student. That was an absolutely formative event for him, and I respect that he was able to turn that commitment to a single cause into political capital and drive. And I do think that he’s a damn sight more progressive than the vast majority of Democratic politicians in the country, despite my disagreement with him on many aspects of firearms ownership.

Wow, I didn’t have the Library of Congress pegged as the one government agency that would actually tell orangeboi et al to go fuck themselves. But I’m not disappointed that they are.

Remember Lina Khan? She was there only a few months ago. Depressing as all fuck how quickly they’ve undone her work.

Doesn’t the rest of the Kennedy clan fucking hate him? Whose kids did he steal?

I continue to be disappointed in and frustrated by Newsom

I shouldn’t be shocked at how swiftly he transitioned, but still, I am.

Shooting the messenger is a time-honored tradition

This is how you radicalize people

Now go away, or I shall taunt you a second time.

Because India is one of China’s regional as well as geopolitical rivals…?

This is the Find Out part

This makes me more suspicious that the whole fucking thing was staged
