The fact that nobody around him has told him this isnโ€™t how numbers work shows you how afraid of him everyone who works for him is.

UPDATE: Governor Abbott just threatened to REMOVE THE TEXAS DEMS FROM THEIR SEATS if they donโ€™t return by 3pm Monday (so Republicans can steal 5 seats in Congress using a special session about the flooding as cover) โ€” and charge them with FELONIES.

We are over the cliff.

Nobody wants to recognize it, but we're watching federalism being chipped away at very rapidly. I don't know where it leads but a lot is happening here

Convinced that in like 10 years all the big fast food chains will be ghosts of what they were, replaced by more nimble and enjoyable ones out of east Asia, except for like KFC and Hooters the latter of which is bought by Jolibee and mainly consists of hot ladies serving ketchup spaghetti.

The situation now is catastrophic. No flour. No food. No clean water.

If the situation continues like this, we will starve to death. Not bombs, but starvation.

To survive one day in Gaza right now, we need about $500 just to buy food, water, and basic necessities.

a pixel art poster with isometric art in dark blue, blue and a light desaturated bluish green. A lighter blue stripe at a rising angle through the middle depicts an open laptop in the middle, with stylized arrows coming in along the sides from the lower left and upper right, and turning to point to the laptop. Abstract icons in circle and arrow shapes are embedded along the lines, and small circles terminate the other two lines without arrows. Text above and below the center image reads "STOP ALL THE DOWNLOADING"

The new Naked Gun is great! Very funny and silly. Movies are better now that the writers have figured out that Elon Musk and people like him are bad guys, not heroes.

Being right wing is so hard bc youโ€™re not allowed to acknowledge any actual phenomena that shape the world, so when you try to describe something you just end up sounding like if a person speaking in tongues worshipped the internet instead of god

A protester in London held a sign at a Palestine march reading:

Sisi: Let Aid into Gaza 147 people, including 88 children, were starved to death in Gaza in just two weeks. Over 100,000 more children could be next if aid does not go into Gaza now.This famine is man-made. And Egypt is help

"This famine is man-made. And Egypt is helping Israel make it happen.

Millions of pounds of food are sitting in Egypt... When Egyptians demanded the aid be let through, Sisi's forces killed two and arrested many more. "

in my life-time, right-wingers have shot or bombed:

1. doctors

2. houses of worship

3. entire schools full of little kids, including tons of white kids

4. members of congress/parliament

5. literal heads of state

and it hasn't held back their agenda at all

*at. all.*

we gotta reckon with that
