Anyway, this is really my last tweet of all time!
I am sending a giant love beam to everyone who has been funny and kind on this hell site (and, OK, fine, all other sentient beings, too).

#InternationalWomensDay
- and ALL days - we recognize the countless contributions women have made to our economy, our communities, & our Nation. The Trump Admin will continue to strive to empower women across America to keep making a profound impact.
It seems to me that when Brett Kavanaugh attempted to deny a 17-year-old immigrant an abortion, he believed that the decisions you make as a minor ought to have lifelong consequences. Let's treat him the same way.
Do you know how many women have had to fake periods or drunkenness to weasel out of a sexual encounter without setting off a male rage spiral? "Just saying 'no'" is not always an option. That's the whole fucking problem.
This afternoon, a 15-year-old brought a gun to his Kentucky high school, killed two people, and shot at least 14 others. Violence is so common in America in 2018, that's apparently not even devastating enough to distract from Oscar noms.
Gabby Douglas is young to be a public figure, and I hope she gets the chance to learn from this, but let me make this crystal clear for you on victim-blaming: If a woman wears a fishnet bodystocking and downs a handle of vodka, the only thing she's "asking for" is a hangover.
Nearly 1,500 migrant children go "missing" and it's barely news. One white kid murders 10 people at school and there's a debate over whether he's a victim. This is a violently racist country, and always has been. Insist on fighting for change. The other option is to be complicit.
Kamala Harris and Elizabeth Warren are the only two people in this race who have demonstrated the absurdly rare superpower that is being "presidential"
#DemDebate2
According to the New York Times, top White House officials have considered asking Twitter to put a 15-minute delay on Trump's tweets.
Let that sink in for a minute.
The people closest to the most powerful person in the country think his brain requires a child safety lock.
The fact that Sean Hannity has been railing against the FBI's investigation of Michael Cohen without disclosing that Michael Cohen IS HIS LAWYER is wildly unethical, and also perfectly on-brand for a Fox News host
It is beyond insulting to treat Hope Hicks as a victim, as if being a young woman negates the potential for total agency. She has knowingly held up an authoritarian regime since its origins. She is both super pretty and pretty complicit.
The
#TaxScamBill
is perhaps the most astonishing display of the consolidation of power in our oligarchy masquerading as a democracy, and part and parcel of that tragedy is how very few Americans truly understand how badly we just got fucked
The president just called all negative coverage fake, and is apparently threatening to revoke credentials unless the press starts writing fan fiction. I always thought of authoritarianism as a slick and stealthy evil, but our democracy appears to be going down via temper tantrum.
We've heard quite enough about eye makeup today, so here's an unfriendly reminder: Sarah Huckabee Sanders routinely lies to the American people, attacking our shared foundation of truth, and therefore undermining democracy. Write that on your mirror in fucking mascara, fascists.
If the New York Times is placing this much focus on Alan Dershowitz not getting invited to dinner parties in Martha's Vinyard, boy, just you WAIT until they find out what the Trump administration is doing to immigrant children
Today Kirstjen Nielsen drafted executive action to end the policy of family separation that she said did not exist less than a week ago.
The Trump administration is gaslighting America. Period.
This is the cartoon that got
@Rob_Rogers
fired after 25 years working at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Spread it around like a lice outbreak at a pre-k.
The one thing I have no patience for is dudes (it's almost *always* dudes) who spend 15 minutes on something you've been studying for 10+ years and act like they've solved Fermat's Last Theorm
The shooting today in the Capital Gazette newsroom in Annapolis, Maryland cannot reasonably be separated from the President's mission to villainize the press as "the enemy of the American people."
No one who voted for Trump is shocked that he's racist. If they didn't vote for him because of his bigotry, they voted for him in spite of it. Stop giving these complicit pieces of shit the benefit of the doubt.
A Pennsylvania high school will issue more than 200 detentions to students who walked out of school as part of a nationwide protest against gun violence:
Let’s not waste one more drop of energy on the verbal Napalm that is the civility debate. If you’re more concerned about powerful adults getting yelled at than children being put in cages, you’re on the wrong side of history.
I was on CNN with Kayleigh McEnany after the 2017 Women’s March. In the elevator after our segment, she smiled as she told me how easy it is to profit from being a pretty woman willing to support Trump on TV. Now she’s his press secretary. I suppose it was only a matter of time.
The
#MeToo
hero of the week is Judge Rosemarie Aquilina, who has allowed 140 women to give statements against Larry Nassar. Here's hoping Bill Cosby gets the same treatment in April.
