Okay, so about that…

An Anti-Biden Conspirator Now Acknowledges That Ron Johnson Was “Doing the Bidding” of Russia In sworn testimony before Congress, a former Trump henchman says the senator from Wisconsin was “our guy in the Senate.”

Ron Johnson is a time-traveler?
(I thought he only traveled to Moscow)

Or just a lying sociopath (and not very good at it)?

Wait…what? My god the alternate reality the GOP spins is bizzaro

I’m. So. Tired.

I don’t just want you to pay attention to Chicago because I want you to understand our plight. I want you to see how hard people are fighting and know wtf you’re made of. We’re not just fighting for this place. This is for all of us.

Now THIS would be awesome!!!!

Speaker Johnson continues to stall the swearing in of Rep.-elect Grijalva so as to avoid having to deal with the Epstein discharge petition. Why shouldn’t Dems make support for reopening the government contingent on adding to the funding measure a provision mandating release of the Epstein files?

Lol!!

Turning Point USA announced they're doing their own concert for Super Bowl Halftime, using "fully Christian, American" performers. Now seems like a good time to remind them that Bad Bunny is both fully Christian and fully American.

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s.

This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.

Another tragic accident.

I posted this one week after the election in 2024. Holds up.

NYT: A Campaign to 'Bring Back Bullying' On social media, some are arguing that bullying deserves a second look. Trolling or not, the push seems to reflect a general turn away from sensitivity.

The economy is really booming in red states.

For Republicans controlling them.

Jane Goodall said she would launch Trump and Musk on one-way trip into space Primatologist said in interview released after her death she would also put Putin, Xi and Netanyahu on that spaceship

It would be a crowded spaceship, if I could add some names to that list... 🚀👋

"Jane Goodall said she would launch Trump and Musk on one-way trip into space. Primatologist said in interview released after her death she would also put Putin, Xi and Netanyahu on that spaceship."

There it is

Turning the military on citizens.

Attempting to rig elections.

Toying with the idea of declaring martial law.

Attacking political enemies and punishing those who speak out.

If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?

This is where we are going probably already here I’d say.

Europe’s high quality of life is getting hard to afford. Just ask France. The cost of Europe’s way of life — health care, affordable education and a dignified retirement for all, through high social spending — is becoming unbearably high.

F*ck all the way off WaPo with this hit piece of European socialism as some unaffordable inevitable failure and for this image

Like omfg trying to tell us we don’t deserve healthcare at this critical juncture and that France is some cautionary tale 🙄

Opinion | The N.F.L. Gets It. Why Don’t Democrats?

"The reason the N.F.L. picked Bad Bunny is the same reason that Jimmy Kimmel’s first show after his suspension had huge viewership, that 'South Park' is having its best ratings in years and that Target’s sales are off... Let’s face it: Woke is good for business."

That’s what I was thinking! The ones that show crack trying to kidnap people be because their cosplay uniforms don’t fit

bike cops are not fitting that stereotype as usually patrol for residential / urban areas and the ones who volunteer are fit

Abolishing ICE is the moderate position.

There’s a lot a structural voter suppression in the South on racial lines that has to be seen to believe how subtle but impactful they are - but yeah there are plenty of backward folks too
