I’m old enough to remember when you caused a 35-day government shutdown—the longest in history—because Congress hadn’t given you money you hadn’t originally asked for to build the useless wall that you lied about Mexico paying for and you still haven’t built. https://t.co/Tvtm9sJJz3

Here’s a Trump tweet that was obviously written by someone to intentionally echo the Fourteen Words of white supremacists and Neo-Nazis.
It isn’t even arguable anymore that someone on this team signals extremists and conspiracy theorists. This stuff is insidious. pic.twitter.com/B4gNZIqoID

Very disturbing. Need stronger guidance and law on issue of withholding basic nutrition and hydration (or other life-saving med care). Getting COVID itself isn't a reason to withdraw care. Need clear plans for how to cope w/ COVID surge in hospitals https://t.co/sYpAdMAzCa

After reading that tweet, I actually felt sick to my stomach.

Like hearing about these! And love Debby Harry’s cat.
Excellent analysis in that article. I’ve been gradually getting more and more allergic to all the memes (it was “Becky” a while ago, wasn’t it?) that focus a weight of contempt on women.
You know what? If you really want a fun example of entitlement or other bullshit to be outraged about on the web, go find a male example.
If all you want is to poke outrage at the entitlement, that’ll do just fine for you.
If it doesn’t feel quite as on-target that way, well, then, congratulations! You’ve outed yourself as a misogynist.
Amen.
Yup
Ooooh, look forward to hearing excerpts from this book.
Support the (Russian) troops.
