"well what are the Democrats supposed to do" I don't know! They're supposed to know! I'm not the one who sought and obtained a political position that would require me to know what to do when the ruling party attempts to install the President as a dictator!

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom breakโ€”never notify parents.

Mother reported him missing a week agoโ€”turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroomโ€”by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

I do not ever want to know "who" the Portland Frog was. Let them multiply, let them become an icon, let them become more emblematic than Scabby the Rat, yes, but the person inside must forever remain an enigma to me.

Let ANYONE be a Frog. That's the point.

I like how the news will be like โ€œwhile the President claiming Portland was ruled by a giant skeleton named Mr Nibbles is not strictly true, it does speak to the anxiety of many Americansโ€

When prices were going up under Biden there was a constant deluge of news stories about it because the media did not like Biden and wanted him to lose. Under Trump there is not a constant deluge of news stories about coffee prices because they like Trump and want him to win

the cover for Fanatic, a new series from DC vertigo by Hannah Templer and Grace Ellis. The cover depicts a woman cast half in shadow, looking back over her shoulder in a look of surprise as she is caught holding a shovel and wearing a tattered costume in a wooded area. The colors are in two tones of blue and red

#WATCH | Ceasefire? What usually happens in occupied Palestine is that Palestinians cease, and Israel fires.

Now live from Al Rashid in Rafah, Israeli forces prevent Palestinians from reaching the south via the road ๐Ÿ‘‡

Netanyahu's mouthpiece, Amit Segal, casually admits on Twitter that his country has been holding 1,700 people from Gaza hostage, including children.
