Last week, Boston received a letter from AG Bondi threatening to prosecute officials and withhold funds unless we cooperate with carrying out mass deportations.

The US Attorney General asked for a response by today, so here it is: stop attacking our cities to hide your administration’s failures.

As a person who really really likes tomatoes, blueberries, and hearing people speak Spanish I find the original comment super baffling, but on the other hand I guess I would pay $100 for non-breathable underwear if it would make this charmer go away, so maybe I get the concept.

So is this guy “Elie” hitting up all Jewish-looking people in Boston for 35 bucks or was he legit? (I did give it to him.)

Oh wow! Thank you! So weird they seem to have put just “Monique” on only a very few designs.

Hive mind of Bluesky: Does the signature or logo on this silk scarf ring any bells with anyone? I cannot make it out. I found one on eBay that interprets it as “Moniohie” but I’m not convinced.

Instead of “dividing Americans based on race,” we must affirm that human beings are inherently divided into distinct races? Do these people listen to themselves?

Women are not qualified to serve someone coffee, according to the new right-wing view? This is breaking my brain.

I have finally read this entire gross story and still have no idea what these people actually want out of life or government besides being able to call people retarded faggots without fear that it might create a bad impression.

But I was just told that the tech CEOs were driven into the arms of MAGA by their insufferably woke work force?

Still trying to adjust to the breakdown of consensus that Nazis are the bad guys, but I THOUGHT we were still united as a nation in lack of enthusiasm for plane crashes and cancer? Wrong again?
