Somehow I have managed to sprain my butt while outside doing chores. I honestly didn't even know that was possible.

Brought the horses dinner in to soak it in hot water and this little criminal decided to help herself. I guess she's a horse now?

If I’m killed in the streets, please do not call for peace. Burn it all down.
All. Of. It.
I would not want peace. If anyone claims I’d want peace, beat that mfer ass first.

it’s not surprising to learn afterwards Renee and Alex were good people, because they died doing something objectively good: protecting more vulnerable people from ICE, putting their white bodies on the line

but it’s soul-crushing that their morality needs to matter more than the shooter’s does

I'm really looking forward to hearing from the same people who have spent decades yelling about the Second Amendment that this shooting was somehow justified because the observer (allegedly) had a gun.

It turns out, it was never about *all* of our liberty.

ICE has now carried out two summary executions of innocent people in the streets of an American city.

If you work for ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You don't get to claim in one year or ten or twenty that you didn't know what ICE was doing. You're complicit.

ICE is a paramilitary that summarily executes people who dare to protest against them. That is who they are. They cannot be reformed. Everyone who works for them at this point must face consequences.

This is stunning. Listen to this in Philadelphia.

Thousands singing “Hey-Oh, we won’t be silent while our friends are gunned down.”

Really listen to it.

I hate that we live in a world where a woman's joy in her own appearance can be used against her with a few keystrokes and an overdeveloped sense of entitlement.

It's a cheap way for men to claim power they don't actually have and it makes me physically sick with rage.

It's not like I'm rolling in money that I can't give to people who really need it. There are good candidates, and there are good causes, but I'm not going to risk one dime going to people who are fine with millions of people losing health care.

We gave them the victories they’ve been asking for and they turned around and gave up as soon as it was convenient. The carrot days of the Democratic base are over. Time for the stick. They’re not afraid enough of us. We can fix that (with votes).
