Objectively, there are similarities, but in this context, I think it’s an overly harsh unfavorable comparison to Sus scrofa domesticus, none of which have ever been called a “best friend” by Jeffrey Epstein.

When I canvas for Zohran my pitch is “do you think I’d spend my free time climbing your fifth floor walkup in ninety degree heat if he wasn’t the real deal?”

People will swear up and down they’re not seeing significant pushback to Trump while this is happening.

A Crisis of Meaning and Purpose: There's No Such Thing As Society A Crisis of Meaning and Purpose Part I: The individualization of society through capitalism created a vast and seemingly inescapable loneliness

I'm writing a series on the connections between our epidemic of loneliness and the fascistic crisis

The neoliberal capitalist system isolated us from one another for profit and to undermine our democratic power. To win the future, we must come together

Yeah, “largely” is doing a lot of work there

YES! Even the “clean” girls are not something you’d want in your food prep area.

In response, many people have started using coded language (referring to protests as “music festivals,” “community picnics,” or even “art walks”) to avoid censorship. Remember to get creative with your wording.

The GOP sales pitch on the Big Bull$hit Bill is like when your boss gives you a tiny raise

—then doubles what you pay for health care premiums every month.

Controversial opinion: When it comes to US presidents, "blatantly breaking laws and violently violating people's rights" is a bigger deal than "is old," meriting greater public concern and a higher percentage of attention.

Despite the lessons we’ve learned over the past 10 years, we continue to be gaslit. There should be no debate about Russia and Ukraine. Russia instigated a war with an illegal invasion. Also, sub sandwiches are not deadly weapons.

Whenever billionaires claim the wealth tax wouldn't do much for the national debt anyway they never factor in the good it would do to reduce the absurdly disproportionate power they have over every aspect of government, which would be the actual significant outcome.

Think about it this way: Tomorrow, the democratic leaders of Europe are coming to Washington, DC, where armed National Guard troops are on patrol, to convince a U.S. president, who called in those troops, that he should not hand Russia the sovereignty of Ukraine, which Russia illegally invaded.

If pundits would like to talk about violence, a terrorist recently shot up the CDC and another assassinated Democratic officials in Minnesota but they sort of let both stories disappear

Not as threatening as motorbikes in DC I know but maybe we could circle back?

I’m gonna say armed troops from red states descending on a blue city is just a few inches — or maybe one exchange of gunfire — short of a civil war’s opening stages.

It is so wild to me that we had a terrorist attack on the CDC and it just blended into the rest of the political violence.

Toad stands at his closet door, looking at his list. One more item crossed off! From "A List" In *Frog and Toad Together*

Toad took his clothes out of the closet and put them on. Then he crossed out: Get Dressed.

A pretty incredible scene

The Constitution protects your right to record law enforcement in public.

🧵CDC friends, many of us are experiencing insomnia, nightmares, nausea, trouble concentrating, memory loss and more. These can all be caused by trauma. Now is not a time to “be strong”. It's a time to get help. If you are worried about getting help through CDC, see below for outside resources 👇

… and left papers behind.

In a feat of legal engineering, the president has stressed the Constitution’s support structures past what experts consider their maximum load

Why only 5 and not the 9 GOP seats in California?

There may be a legitimate explanation, but
@governor.ca.gov
needs to make it clear so people don't think he's just equaling Texas when he have a chance to exceed it.

C'mon, hosting summits is hard, you're not on home soil, how could you possibly be expected to...

...oh.

vibes are like just before COVID lockdowns, but this time anyone in the know is holding their breath for "it" to happen without any certainty about what "it" will be

Jobs of the Secret Service:
(1) Protect POTUS, VPOTUS, etc.
(2) Protect foreign embassies.
(3) Investigating certain financial crimes, particularly involving the currency.
And as of today,
(4) Prevent drawing on DC streets with chalk.

WE ARE ON OUR OWN TOGETHER. WE WILL WIN AND IT WILL BE THROUGH A COLLECTIVE WILL FOR A FUTURE WE DESERVE

According to Republicans, if you’re uncomfortable with guns openly carried on college campuses, you should just toughen up.

But if you’re uncomfortable with hearing about race or gender, the government should prohibit university faculty from talking about those things.

After a freeze, Trump administration reluctantly agrees to fund EV chargers Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says he doesn't agree with federal subsidies for high-speed EV chargers, but that his department "will respect Congress' will" and release the funds.

I will continue to fight for Colorado. That is why I took action to ensure Colorado gets the mandated EV charging infrastructure funds mandated by Congress. We are now seeing some responses to our lawsuit, but the freeze has already done damage--and was illegal. www.npr.org/2025/08/15/n...
