Next year is officially 250 so the empire is right on schedule.
Does anyone have any tips for dealing with perimenopause?

I told Scott this is the last summer I can make it without AC. I basically have a migraine 60% of the time, I am definitely suffering from some form of dysautonomia, along with my diagnosed IIH.

I wish for a society that cares about women.

I have rowed over 550 miles to get here, and it often felt like very slow progress.
In January, I used the money Scott's bigoted grandparents gave me for Christmas to buy a cheap and compact rowing machine. Rowing is the only exercise I enjoy.

I had some setbacks including my knees giving out. But I just rowed 10 miles in 47:31, and I am really fucking proud of myself.

I am 41

Today is my 2nd Wedding anniversary.

There was a time I was certain I'd never get married, but here I am - with a man I met on Twitter. He built me a beautiful place to live and is truly the best husband I could have ever hoped for.

Honestly I'm angry at the people who were repeatedly warned that the murderers were going to do murders and needed to wait for the murders to happen before they got on board with doing anything about it. You're feckless and stupid, welcome to the side but shut the fuck up and stop trying to lead.

White Americans are learning once again that the *only* thing that has ever made you safe from fascism is being willing to sacrifice non-white people. That is your contract with white supremacy. "Give us someone else so it won't be you."

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.

ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

the dumbest part of all of this is how predictable it was that conservatives would defend ICE executing random people for expressing the 1st and 2nd amendments rights would be

If the supposed enforcers of the law won’t follow it, why should we?

This is the lesson a lot of us were screaming about in 2016. I was begging the party to get it the fuck together because this is where it was always going to end up.

When your opposition does no opposing, not even when things escalate, we get here.
In Weimar Germany, the opposition was the Center Party — and it was crushed.

There’s a lesson there.

Is this what the Department of Homeland Security calls “approached US Border Patrol officers with a 9 mm semi-automatic handgun”?

This means, they're using tear gas because you have no measurable chemical means to fight back.

Being tear gassed is not a fun time at all, but it's generally just a bad day. A bad day that covers you in snot. Still ok after a shower.
Just a reminder that tear gas is banned during warfare by the Geneva convention. It was allowed by rule in 1993, to be used domestically as a form of riot control.

They made this exception because the people cannot further escalate.

Except that’s never been her goal. That’s what she tells people. There have been decades now of reports and evidence that her main goals are racism, mockery and dominance

The first thing she did to make the news “approachable” was firing everyone not white
I am sympathetic to her desire to make the news more engaging and approachable, but inasmuch as her suggestions to make it more engaging and approachable appear to make it biased and servile, either she doesn't know how to do the first, or the second was actually always the not-so-covert goal.

It would be a mistake to see Trumpism as authoritarianism imposed on an unwilling nation, as opposed to authoritarianism implemented in a nation with a plurality that is already made up of authoritarian bootlickers who created the context for Trumpism to thrive.

It should be bigger news that masked agents were filmed hours ago removing potentially inculpatory evidence from the ICE shooter's house, clearly lacking evidence tags or chain of custody stickers.

Before we have word on whether he underwent a toxicology screen at the hospital following the killing

Last year some people asked why Black people weren't showing up at protests. ICE shot this woman three times in the face and the president tweeted about how it was her fault and she deserved it.

Rest in peace Renee Nicole Good.

lmao don’t vote for a fucking DHS budget at all!!!
Democrats cannot vote for a DHS budget that doesn’t restrain the growing lawlessness of this agency.
A witness shared this video with me showing an ICE officer shooting a driver in an SUV in south Minneapolis. DHS says the woman is dead.
