IDT I can do it. I woke up tired. You know that feeling of, "I need at least another hour of sleep. Oh wait, it's WHAT time? GDI" That was me this morning. Whaaaat? You're not gonna be up for it? I was looking forward to your commentary! Are we doing a separate thread or just talking here? Awww that makes me feel warm and fuzzy. Imma hang as long as I can. I've had a couple rough insomnia nights in the past few days. Although I might get punchy liveblogging and find my energy reserves.

PBS showed moments from the past before this one started and damn Obama looked so young. It's so weird watching it virtually. I was reminded recently watching a video of him that that man is fine as hell

Castro was on Democracy Now. This is the content we need. I really hope he gets a prominent cabinet position. And that it propels him to a Harris / Castro ticket in 4 years. Manifesting energy.

She hadn't already been pardoned, so it's giving him a chance to say he cares more about women's rights than any other president, because none of them pardoned her. I mean yes, this should have happened already and it's a great way to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment, but I have zero doubts his motives aren't that pure. As a palate cleanser, here's the Schoolhouse Rock song on the suffrage movement:

The (senate) committee found evidence that the campaign sought out inside information on Wikileaks, Junior sought out damaging information on opponents (from the russians thru Stone).
Manafort created opportunities for russia to impact elections
the damn republicans KNEW this shit and STILL SAT ON THEIR HANDS and couldn't vote to impeach the motherfucker..
thats criminal in my opinion.
I have raaaaaaaaaaaaage
I mean we already knew this but to have the documented proof of their stupidity....

Susan B Anthony if from near where I live so she is a huge hero here. A lot of people aren’t happy about 45s plan to pardon her because she was very proud of her arrest and refusal to pay the fine.

Not politics related necessarily but y'all will get it. If there is one constant about online communities, it is the implosion cycle. One of my favorite progressive spaces on FB is shutting down after two years. (Literal to god I was NOT involved hah.)

apparently being hauled in front of Congress is more scary to Dejoy than 45 is
he's suspending all cost cutting measures and assuring the people that USPS will function
