Progressive tired of incrementalism. Love corgis, science, reading, Doctor Who, Start Trek, music, photography, and traveling. Favorite movie apropos of this time is “V for Vendetta”.

Thomas Massie and Marjorie Taylor Greene showed up to the Epstein abuse survivors press conference and did exactly what rational adults need from them while the vast majority of their party colleagues are hiding away. Strange and sad days when what they're doing feels surprising and welcome.

"The GOP is signing on to mass murder of children based on the novel theories of a man who has no party ties except a single Trump endorsement. It is a measure of the party’s utter hollowness, brokenness, and evil that even in this case, it can barely find the resources to demur."
