The GOP, his not doing anything new.
In fact they are planning the same old shit.

The ABCs of Democracy via Rep. Hakeem Jeffries.

1. I don't know who created this graphic so I'm including a link to where I first saw it.

2. Representative Hakeem Jeffries' name did not appear on the original artwork so I added it on the bottom to give due credit to the quote.

Seriously though, we do need to worry about groomers who dress up in weird outfits and tell ridiculous stories to children.

We do.

Keep your kids away from priests, that's what I'm saying.

All silliness aside, if you know anyone in Ukraine or know anyone who knows anyone, this may be useful. It's website of ads of people providing free temporary housing to displaced Ukrainians. Each ad is vetted manually. Please do pass this along if you think it would be helpful.

Wanna learn more about the brutality of Russian rule? Ask Estonians about the Patarei prison. Ask Ukrainians about the Holodomor. Ask Azerbaijani about the Black January. Ask Kazakhstani about the Jeltoqsan massacre. Ask the denizens of states ruled by Moscow and the more you’ll know.

when you make fun of someone’s appearance or physicality, you likely aren’t hurting the person, but instead those who might see similarities to themselves.

Hey folks I'm giving you permission to make a scene. If the people at your holiday celebration(s) feel empowered to say some shit that boils your blood I want you to feel empowered to say something in return. You are allowed to have opinions and you are allowed to share them with the world too. Don't bite back your upset for fear of "ruining" the event. You are allowed and encouraged to be true to yourself.

There was an idea that was legitimately floated in the US State Department that POTUS should have to kill a man in person in order to access the nuclear codes so that it never feels like a distant bloodless exercise. But I think that’s ridiculous. Most of the men to be POTUS would have no issue killing someone else.

What we need is that every time congress votes to go to war, the yay button has a 1:100 chance of killing the person who presses it. Every time.

Pst. Hey you. Yeah. You.

Do yourself a solid, will you? Stop that spiraling. You know it's a long way down, because you've been down there before.

Put the device down. Step away from the keyboard. Find something small that you can do to make your situation better. Put that dish away. Dust that monitor. Clean your desk. Go stand outside for a few minutes or take a walk if that suits your fancy. Pick a little thing and use it to break the cycle. You'll be glad you did. 💚
