I really hope thousands of new workers unions are formed over the next few months.

My sis in law was featured on the Boston marathon banners last year!!

Claudia completed the marathon with her friend Amy, while pushing Amy in her wheelchair. Boston sent her this banner from the race.

So very cool

Truus Oversteegen, Freddie Oversteegen and Hannie Schaft have been remembered for their technique of luring collaborators into the forest for them to be executed.

In my very large family anyone in an “older” generation was “aunt” & “uncle”. Their kids are my “cousins”.

Family terms of endearment do not necessarily follow strict genealogy rules.

Texas sues Tylenol company over autism claims This lawsuit comes a month after U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. updated guidance discouraging pregnant women from taking acetaminophen, citing it as a possible cause of autism.

Ever start a role playing game and put too many points in the wrong stat?

Like, you start playing and realize you put too much in Charisma and this game doesn’t care about charisma.

Some days I feel I put too many points into Intelligence and this game doesn’t care about intelligence.

How long does Mike Johnson have to keep the House of Representatives in recess before we start considering the positions abandoned and seeking constitutional remedies to fill them?

The Constitution doesn't make representation in the House optional at the whim of the majority.

Liberals when candidates defend trans people: "We can't do this, it's too unpopular."

I always expect something extraordinary from Geekie and am always disappointed when he is as helpful as the yellow-shirt guy in this gif.

Sea Life boss challenged to 'swap places' with penguins 'trapped in basement' of aquarium Protesters calling for the release of penguins "trapped in a basement" demonstrated outside a London attraction on Sunday, with musician turned eco-campaigner Feargal Sharkey throwing down the gauntle...

The 10 gentoo penguins introduced from Edinburgh Zoo have "now endured 14 years in a basement", with a pool of only about seven feet deep (2.1m) in which to swim, according to the campaigners that organised the protest.

The horrors persist.

Here is the television ad that Premier Ford says his government has spent $75 million taxpayer dollars on. It features a Ronald Reagan 1987 radio address about the perils of tariffs and rejecting protectionism. It will air on most major US television networks. #cdnpoli

Your senate site has nothing about your support for expanding Medicare or using our tax dollars to fund universal healthcare. Because you actually don’t want to change the system.

Your post is fake outrage and you support the current health care system.

Is there anyone living in North America who is actually surprised that young Republicans love Hitler?
