So thrilled on this #ITD to share our first reading from Telugu, by @subhashri.bsky.social, from THAT'S A FIRE ANT RIGHT THERE, a portrayal of small-town Indian lives with a clear message of friendship, especially among Hindus and Muslims: essential reading in today’s fraught times.

📌Democrats are craving bold, decisive leadership.
Instead, they have Chuck Schumer.

It would be laughable it wasn't so damn sad ...

This is who Chuck Schumer thought he was going to negotiate with

I am sick of Democratic leaders who have no idea the level of danger this country is in and how far we have fallen from the democracy we had just 12 years ago

The flew the entire military leadership in so they could see for themselves that the Secretary of Defense is a mouthbreathing dipshit and the Commander in Chief is a senile, weak old man who might keel over at any moment.

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

Today I received a job with the following instruction:

"Machine (pre-)translation is not permitted"

Most of us actually DO wish we could afford real ass furniture instead of flat pack shit from IKEA or Amazon made out of particle board, canvas and aluminum tubes but I guess we’ll just use fucking Orange crates and chain spools an entire nation of shitty burnout college housing.

Honestly do not understand why anyone would have anything against carrying ID. This is so weird to me.

Why are the American president's claims about autism the first item on British news bulletins?

He's not our president, the advice doesn't apply here and he's not presented any evidence to support his assertions.

So why spread these claims? What make this the biggest story in the UK?

I still am stunned, years later, that dozens of cops at Uvalde waited 77 minutes to kill the shooter while kids died.

Has ANYONE been held accountable?

Yesterday was, and so is today!

I hope the makers of Tylenol hold the deed to the White House itself after they get done suing Trump and his administration.

Trump is a master at getting people to talk about bullshit that doesn’t matter. People are literally wasting valuable resources planning Substacks on Tylenol when you know damn well - this is all bullshit. When TF are ya’ll going to learn the playbook?

That’s all I want to know.

Hitler is sitting in the White House. The problem is not Tylenol, Antifa or all this other bullshit dangling in front of you.

Stop getting distracted.

Kamala Harris: "It feels chaotic, but what I would offer you is what we are witnessing is the swift implementation of a plan that was decades in the making. Project 2025 didn't just drop out of thin air. That's a product of decades of work. Federalist Society, Heritage Foundation ... "

Wait is the Washington Post’s slogan still “Democracy Dies in Darkness?” I guess it still works as a goal rather than a warning

Whatever you do, please don’t stop reading.

Read for joy. Read for education. Read for resistance. Read banned books. Read books by marginalized authors. Read about experiences that differ from your own.

Just. Keep. Reading.

Um, so, Epstein files?

Where the separate divisions of ANTIFA landed on the beaches of Normandy on June 6, 1944:

Walz: This is North Korea style stuff. And it's being done because this is a weak, thin skinned man who's failing as a president. All of the things he promised are not happening.

It's a it's our most cherished freedom to point out very clearly, this is a terrible president

Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

John H. Luckadoo, Last Pilot From a Storied Bomber Group, Dies at 103

The sentimental value of Kate 1million tiara.
