Bear in mind that last week, this city council had rentacop goons zip-tie and haul out a peaceful protester. This week they had a significant contingent of armed cops present. The MAGA city council is literally intimidating anyone who might consider protesting these nazi displays.

Oh look. Someone else who is either ignorant of how these laws are crafted such that the vulnerable are protected, or who know damn well but are fine about lying about it, whether that's because they are a religious zealot or because they just crave attention.

It's so sad that religious zealots and conspiracy theorists have between them repeatedly managed to block access in the UK to death with dignity.

Let’s keep writing and sharing pieces like this. Not to do so is to acquiesce with the great threat of our age.

What are they doing other than complain? The "someone should do something"/"they aren't doing enough" crowd - the ones who do nothing other than make these complaints - drive me up the wall.

They voted? Well (if so) that's something at least. But did they donate? Did they volunteer? Did they help combat the disinformation coming from the other side? My bet is that many of them did not. They just sat back and let others do the work and now they're angry at the result of their inaction.

Here is how we know that vaccines do not cause autism Vaccines do not cause autism. You’ve almost certainly read that before — but often without a full explanation of how we know it to be true. Here's how we know.

Part of the challenge is that this belief increasingly tied to political identity.

How many of the people making angry calls now, demanding Democrats who are in office do more lifted so much as a finger to try to prevent this regime from winning the election?

Even more alarming when you add this to the recent news about their plans for Guantanamo.

In my world, “the talk” is what Black parents have w/our kids, about how to survive an encounter w/police who see them as a threat because of our skin color.

Latino families have their talk, w/kids even younger, about ICE who see them as criminals: “If we disappear…”

Different fear. Same America.

Women deserve to know the TRUTH about the impact of Texas' total abortion ban.

Today, I along with Rep. Gerry Connolly, Rep. Summer Lee, and Rep. Ayanna Pressley sent ANOTHER letter calling on

Church Revokes License of Priest Who Copied Elon Musk’s Controversial Salute: He ‘Had Been Warned’ About ‘Online Trolling’ A priest who copied Elon Musk's "salute" gesture had his ministerial license revoked by the UK's Anglican Catholic Church after previous warnings about "online trolling."

Apparently the college of bishops of the denomination in which he was formerly a rector are ... how did he put it? ... very bitter, angry, vile leftists, since they kicked his ass out for this "joke."

Satan's biblical body count is zero. 45/felon47's body count massively exceeds that.

Every time anything major goes wrong, he'll blame DE&I even if it turns out that everyone involved was a cis, hetero, white male.

Here it thinks "You've followed a lot of cats. You want more cat content. Here [literally armfuls of cats]."

For the kitten cam folks in my follows, in case you didn't know she has an account here.

They Followed North Carolina Election Rules When They Cast Their Ballots. Now Their Votes Could Be Tossed Anyway. A Republican judge is trying to overturn his election loss by challenging more than 60,000 ballots. These are some of those voters’ stories.
