Into the garbage bin they go, right next to Target.

We don’t need your shitty brands! You’re expendable but trans people are not.

The same assholes who chastised President Biden about pulling US troops out of Afghanistan are now super quiet about thousands of Americans being stranded in the Middle East all because a white supremacist criminal wanted go on a bombing murder spree.

When Joe Biden was president Republicans talked about $3.50 gas like it was a crime against humanity.

Who decides what we do when Putin & Netanyahu disagree? Does that go to John Roberts?

Trump truth social post: If Iran does anything that stops the flow of Oil within the Strait of Hormuz, they will be hit by the United States of America TWENTY TIMES HARDER than they have been hit thus far. Additionally, we will take out easily destroyable targets that will make it virtually impossible for Iran to ever be built back, as a Nation, again — Death, Fire, and Fury will reign upon them — But I hope, and pray, that it does not happen! This is a gift from the United States of America to China, and all of those Nations that heavily use the Hormuz Strait. Hopefully, it is a gesture that will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

This is insane, untenable, inhumane language. Journalists everywhere should be sounding alarms. People need to start telling him “no”. This has to stop.

Having a hard time. Dissgreeing here. The damage to Goddard Space Flight center, where i spent seven years working on Hubble, was compliance in advance. It need not have happened, and the damage it has done will be generational.

Figurines of Brady Bunch and Partridge Family fighting each other

I have created a diorama of the Partridge family attacking the Brady Bunch family. My life is very boring.

This is who the white/Left/‘progressive’ Dems back.

Platner, a man with neither the qualifications nor the character to be a Democratic Party senator.

Misogynist. Racist. Homophobic. Antisemitic. NAZI TATTOO.

Say NO to Platner.

Elect Gov. Janet Mills to the US Senate.

I think (and have argued elsewhere) that there was a plausible possibility that tariffs would code as "decisive executive action to protect workers." That most voters came to understand how tariffs work is a rare civic triumph in which media did a good job in informing voters of complexity/nuance.

My favorite is a woman who proudly has "I speak woke" in her bio while she's policing black speech. Completely oblivious.

The Trump admin is going to be remembered for so many bad things but ultimately they all end up in the same place: it’s an admin of death.

White people didn't think enough of the late Rev. Jesse Jackson, Sr. to have him lie in state at the capitol like Billy Graham. They didn't think enough of the late Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr. to air his funeral on national TV.

But they still feel its their duty to police the speeches at his funeral.

Black people are not allowed to talk amongst themselves without white people feeling its their duty to police those conversations. The response from white people to this statement by Kamala Harris is an example. Those responses to her statement are also a glowing example of hit dogs hollering.
