- Reposted by JR Tomlin (she/her)I grew up with the Washington Post, wrote editorials for the Washington Post and published a column there for more than 15 years. To watch its owners destroy it, seemingly deliberately, in just a year and a half is devastating.

Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

- Reposted by JR Tomlin (she/her)It will never *not* be hilarious that these twerps will reply to posts about literal assassination attempts -- as if they *actually* think mean words online intimidate me. Groypers take themselves way too seriously. Guess I can't blame them, though. The poor lambs take Nick Fuentes seriously.

- Reposted by JR Tomlin (she/her)One lesson from the Epstein–Mandelson affair is that we need to stop routinely rehabilitating political careers after serious scandals. When politicians knowingly engage in grave ethical wrongdoing, that should permanently end their political careers. Being "talented" should not override that.

- Reposted by JR Tomlin (she/her)I think we need to be crystal clear, Jeff Bezos is a bad guy. He is hurting this country in manifold ways. He is a person of terrible character. He is one of the real villains of our times. And we need to know them, name them, hold them accountable and show there is a market cost to such behavior.

- Reposted by JR Tomlin (she/her)You’re only 90 years late for this particular argument Andrew. It’s important to note that the incident was in the context of the black & tans having recently ravaged Ireland and the attempted culturicide of Wales a few decades earlier. But RT won’t acknowledge any of that.
