The GOP majority in the PA state senate are simply IGNORING a Democrat who won and refusing to swear him in. They’ve removed the Dem Lt Gov, @JohnFetterman, as senate president and assigned their own president pro tem

Fetterman, who’s awesome, won’t leave and you can’t make him
It’s ironic that the elected Democrat in question, Jim Brewster, represents the 45th district, because this is the legacy of Trump: A party of utter lawlessness that simply ignores democracy in favor of corrupt preservation of its own power.
It needs to be reiterated that @JohnFetterman DID NOT LEAVE THE ROSTRUM when the GOP majority tried to replace him with one of their own, because have you seen John Fetterman, he leaves when he WANTS to leave

FETTERMAN

As the FBI asks Twitter for help finding the 1200 people who took selfies while storming the Capitol and DC police claim there was “no intelligence” pointing to violent insurrection, it’s worth considering just how close we were to DESIGNATED SURVIVOR becoming a documentary.
Every hostile nation on earth saw how easy it was for half-naked Chewbacca cosplayers and clinically obese Civil War reenactors to overrun what’s supposed to be one of the most secure buildings in our government—with the VP and a full joint session of Congress in progress.
The key is obviously that an assault on our government needs to be done by people with white faces. Nonwhite invaders would have been shot before they got to the Capitol steps.

If I’m ISIS or North Korea, I’m sliding into militia group DMs right now.

This was not quite the post-taking-the-Senate victory gift I was expecting
1. I assume Stacey Abrams didn’t want it, because at this point before any appointment Joe makes, he should be checking to see if Stacey Abrams wants it

2. Sally Yates is right there

3. Stephen Breyer wants to go home
On the other hand Merrick Garland is obviously experienced in prosecuting white domestic terrorist conspiracy, Biden may be considering Trump’s post-presidential career moves

Yes it’s happening right now, a maskless Karen eruption in my local Trader Joe, the same one where I got coughed on and cursed at for being Asian by a different white lady back in March
“I’m due equal treatment under the law”

“State civil code says...”

“No I will not let you do my shopping for me, that is not equal treatment under the law”
It’s like a uniform

A lot of people are saying “if Shuri becomes Black Panther then we lose the Storm x Black Panther storyline”

Why would we have to lose Storm x Black Panther if Shuri becomes Black Panther 😒
Now I need a picture of Shuri on the throne, Storm at her side, if anyone has one
Given that there are no mutants in the MCU yet there’s nothing stopping them from making Storm any age they want. And of course...Letitia is 27 so they can age up Shuri by the time this storyline begins anyway

What’s the most Asian non-Asian thing you can think of?
No points for this
I’m going to go with what my grandma used to call “Kasuko”

My latest @CNNOpinion: I wrote about the passing of Alex Trebek and the specific legacy he left us: A sterling example of how Dems should behave in a post-Trump world

(hint: no hugs, no compromises—just speak truth, fulfill promises and get sh*t done)

Thank you @arthur_affect for sharing your first-person insights for this piece!
“Even as we forcefully roll back the consequences of's reign of error, we need to find a way to bring the tens of millions of Americans he piped out into the wilds of conspiracy paranoia and racist vitriol back to the fold of a working democracy.”
