Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Someday soon, Republicans will figure out how population density works…

As the Atlantic Ocean warms, climate change is fueling Hurricane Melissa's ferocity Hurricane Melissa has rapidly intensified into a Category 5 storm due to warming oceans linked to climate change.

I am thinking of the people of Jamaica, and the many New Yorkers with loved ones there, as Hurricane Melissa — fueled by a warming ocean — grows into the strongest storm ever to bear down upon the island.

So we’re now paying federal taxes so Donald Trump can withdraw them from the Treasury like it’s his own personal bank account? Really?

We need to remove the cancer in the Oval Office to restore funding to children’s cancer research.

The average age of U.S. homebuyers is now 56, up from 49 last year.

In 1981, the year trickledown economics began, it was 31.

Just 2 gun rights advocates sitting behind a wall of bulletproof glass while enjoying a memorial for a gun rights advocate who got murdered by a gun.

I cited actual Kirk quotes where he calls Black women less intelligent, demonizes me for being Muslim, & dehumanizes LGBTQ people—& his supporters are upset at me for “speaking evil of the dead.”

If quoting him is “speaking evil” maybe ask yourself why you followed someone who believed evil things.

Update: Civil War cancelled due to shooter being demographically uncooperative

rarely have I more acutely felt the dynamic by which Dems are held responsible for the rhetoric of every random left-leaning person on the internet and Republicans are not even asked to answer for their own personal words

I’m not a big political violence fan. I understand the IRA trying to kill Maggie Thatcher but mostly it’s barbaric and bad.

Opinion | Charlie Kirk's blood is on the hands of Democrats who failed to convince their Republican colleagues to support gun control.

I had no wish for him to be murdered, but I’ll harshly judge anyone who flies their flag at half staff for that hateful extremist or talks about honoring his memory. There was no honor in his life.

The president went on TV to attack political opponents and blame them for the killing of Charlie Kirk, even though we don’t know who shot him.

If there is anything this man can do to worsen the situation, he will do it. Despicable.

I'm holding my tongue for now, but if you fuckers in the media don't stop trying to eulogize Charlie Kirk like he was Ted Kennedy or Bob Dole I am going to tell everybody what I think about that hate filled son of a........like I said I am currently holding my tongue, for now.

It is weird that the assassination of essentially a celebrity influencer is a bigger deal than the shooting of two top state legislators + their spouses

Both of the co-founders of Turning Point USA died from things that were preventable, but which they mocked and urged this nation to ignore. Bill Montgomery was killed in 2020 by COVID and Charlie Kirk was killed in 2025 by gun violence.

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

what a humiliating way for don jr. to find out his dad sends birthday cards.

I have no words. Everyone prepared for the constitutional crisis of the President defying the SCOTUS. The crisis is the SCOTUS being fully aligned with Trump’s vision of presidential power. So here we are.

This is the same Grok that was "manipulated" into praising Hitler last week.

What could possibly go wrong when integrating this AI into our national security?

Imagine being commander-in-chief of the world’s largest military and still being afraid of Rosie O’Donnell.

Oh, Honey! America has functioned for 249 years with every president having co-equal branches of government checking their power. It was set up that way on purpose by the Founding Fathers. You really skipped civics class, didn't you?

A State Department employee shared with PBS News an image from inside the department. The image includes a piece of paper taped to a mirror with the words, "Colleagues, if you remain: RESIST FASCISM. Remember the oath you vowed to uphold."
