“Rights advocates said they were alarmed by the proposal, which they saw as part of a drive by the administration to place homeless people in institutional settings against their will.”
Republicans control the whole of government, but can’t seem to govern.
While carrying the weight of the world on my shoulders, I'm asked to accept less than the bare minimum most days, and now I'm told even *that* is too much to expect.
One day I'm going to be in a place to be able to dole out some long-deserved natural consequences, and watching that dose of grown-up reality hitting its target will be some crazy schadenfreude for me.
what’s extra terrifying right now is the knowledge that there’s just no backstop at all
we are locked in a box with a madman for another three years and there’s absolutely nothing that he can do to make his own party take the keys away and so the madness continues
it doesn’t feel sustainable, but…

Israel & Saudi Arabia pushed the U.S. to attack Iran.
Netanyahu killed 72,000 people in Gaza, mostly women & children.

the Twin Peaks pilot is an utter masterpiece. the dialogue is one diamond after another. 36 years later and I warm to every great line.
We deserved so much more than this. May karma take her due.
I think I have a crush on Mae Martin. 😄

At least half a dozen top Trump officials appear in the files, but still no investigation there huh.
