I spent a lot of time trying to think of a good mat color but white ended up working best. Because the piece is so complex I think your eye needs the break. The frame was out of stock when I first tried to get it and I waited six weeks for it because there was no other choice I wanted. It's perfect!

usually if you ask experts why an empire fell they’ll say it’s nuanced and multifaceted, so i think it’s kind of cool that with America future historians will get to just say like “oh they took the idiot train to moronsville”

‘Welcome to hell’: Inside the megaprison where the U.S. deported migrants Interviews with 16 former detainees of El Salvador’s Terrorism Confinement Center offer the most complete view yet of conditions inside the notorious prison.

These are the stories of 16 former detainees who were deported to El Salvador’s mega prison.

You can watch this Green Beret describe this experience in his own words to @vanhollen.senate.gov, and for us, and I cried. I’m not sure how you could watch this veteran tell this child’s story and not feel all of the emotions at once.

Brad Lander's "The line in the Democratic Party right now is not between progressives and moderates — it's between fighters and folders" is truly *the* best diagnosis of what's needed right now. It also has the advantage of being backed up by public opinion.

What a dumb bitch

Yes, my economic plan will cause short term pain. But after that you won't feel the pain anymore because you'll be dead

This country is beyond evil

Breathtakingly fascist and racist

They truly are a horrific death cult

there is no jurisprudence at work here. the republican court believes that anything a republican president is presumptively constitutional, even if it directly violates the unambiguous constitutional text and causes total chaos in law and policy.
