This a massive story. But you might not have heard about it, even if you follow the news closely.

It's probably not my kind of weird but I appreciate the synopsis.

Trump’s Deals With Top Colleges May Give Rich Applicants a Bigger Edge

Have been deeply concerned for a while that rich kids have been the targets of systemic discrimination in this country. I'm so glad the powerbrokers in this country have recognized this and come to their aid.

You have got to be fucking kidding me

I hope you did an I Told You So dance.

Being awful to Americans who honorably served the country for nearly two decades, just to be bigots.

Weird how?

"Last night I was informed that tomorrow will be my last day in the FBI. I understand that you may have a lot of questions regarding why, for which I currently have no answers," the FBI's former acting director, Brian Driscoll, wrote in a farewell message to colleagues.

18-year-old says voter registration receipt was altered to say ‘socialist’ at local DMV “When I unfolded it, my party affiliation was crossed out and the word socialist was written instead.”

PennDOT has confirmed this story & terminated the employee.

While there has been an appropriate resolution, I’m saddened that politicians, starting with the President, use rhetoric that treat opponents as enemies, ‘inspiring’ incidents like this. We must do better.

a brown long hair dachshund on a subway car. The pic is taken from selfie angle, so the dog is sort of facing the camera, but she is looking off to the side. There are some people sitting behind her but the subway car is not crowded.

since Sean Duffy is in the news again, I want to point out that my little pretty dachshund Daphne is braver than he is, and she rode the Subway with no issues on Saturday. She got pet by a 3 yr old (no pics of that sadly) and lots of adults.

Epstein survivor Annie Farmer on Ghislaine Maxwell: “She didn’t just procure girls for Epstein, she participated in their abuse. She also made threats to our family. To be told that she’s being brought to the table when she’s been charged with perjury is very unsettling.”

Sad to see white men in America so starved for human interaction they post racisms hoping that strangers will yell at them. I hope there are pundits brave enough to write think pieces helpful to these men.
