the fundamental rule of our era is that everything is political, except politics, which is entertainment

i get that working in politics kind of destroys your ability to actually have any beliefs aside from what can get you 50%+1 of the vote but you don't actually have to be this publicly blasé about how bad animal torture is

foie gras is delicious and should be apolitical. DC used to be fun and its been subjected to killjoys for too long. Eat foie gras, be fabulous, enjoy life

they shouldn’t ban dog fighting because dog fighting is fun and it’s not the government’s business to tell people what to do for entertainment

i am not really swayed by the argument that “it taste good” is a compelling justification for gratuitous and obscene animal cruelty

who do you think was the most pro trans president ever?
🌹Róisín🌹@Bingo_42Oct 23
A lot of libs bought the "Biden was the most pro trans president ever" lie and I'm pretty sure it's fully based on him reversing the military ban and the (admittedly funny) "at least 3 genders" comment. They didnt care enough during his admin to notice the transphobic policies.

really weird definition of freedom here!

Cool new report from @CatoInstitute with an updated methodology on freedom for US states. Only two states get an overall "A" grade: Arizona and Montana (both gets A's in personal freedom, B's in econ freedom) Only governor with an "A" grade overall: @GovGianforte!

at a certain age people don’t even tell you “you should be a lawyer” they just say “you would do well in new york”

he’s hitting notes that i largely agree with but there just,,, isn’t a lot of concrete policy here. what is a “fair tax system” what departments are “being consolidated” what are some concrete cuts

Chicago needs a budget that reflects the priorities of working families, not politics. We must #demandbetter.
