Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

*cough laughs*

Not even the bad guys are cool in our version.

At least Darth Maul had some sense of self-reflection when shit got real.

Hi, are you doomscrolling about tariffs?

Have you had something to eat? Is there an offline activity you can do tonight instead, like read a book, compile a list of essential items you need to stock up on, or call an elected official about the recession ahead?

Try not to stay up too late tonight.

THANK YOU JESUS

A plane has crashed with no survivors found in Greenville, North Carolina.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.
