Votes against his party and garners vast attention right before the release of his book when he needs wast attention for book sales. It was never about the people, just lining his pocket

Promoting AI manipulating the Trump regime will only lead to more manipulated AI coming from the far right. It’s bad enough he lies continually, but now we are encouraging the leap down the rabbit hole of “is it truth or fiction” too?

Nearly 90% of New Jersey children tried as adults since 2011 were black or Latino Mostly black minors requested to be prosecuted as adults, a WNYC analysis found when comparing the US juvenile detention system with that in Germany

Do not think race does not come to play here either. These 18-40 year old Caucasians are passed off as kids while 14 year old brown boys are being charged as adults in crimes. Imagine if a group called the young black caucus called for violence against whites.

I’d love to see a collection of these together. I’ve been creating my own collection on Pinterest.

Hypocrisy in its lowest form

For the price of a $400 million jet/bribe, you too can get your very own US security guarantee

Wonder why he didn’t remind them they would have to wait for back pay, so start using up your cash reserves, starting at midnight because the government was going to be shut down? (Rhetorical question.)

May? The media giving this guy a pass while holding everyone else to a higher standard is one of the major reasons he is in office. Own your mistakes and stop repeating them. I guarantee you when the next Democrat is in office, if this were to happen your headline would be completely different.

Remember that Trump lamented that domestic violence was a crime. This is their version of “masculinity”

On my phone the trunkated headline reads: “Trump slams uncontrolled immigration and bla..”
I’ll fill in the rest, “bla, bla, bla,” which sounds about right.

Julia Roberts' birth was paid for by MLK. Her reaction to the racist interview makes a lot of sense. A tone-deaf Venice Film Festival interview exposed ongoing racism, but Julia Roberts' perfect response makes sense when you know she grew up with civil rights legends.

The one thing he can’t bully and threaten anyone into doing and the one thing he can’t buy, so the one thing (besides a brain) he’ll never have.

Pause your doomscrolling and listen to this story.

Seattle Children’s to cut 150 jobs, citing loss of federal funds The hospital says 154 employees will be laid off and 350 open positions eliminated in November.

Seattle Children’s is laying off over 150 staff and slashing hundreds of open positions. Why? Because of Trump and the Republicans' health care cuts. Republicans chose tax breaks for billionaires over care for our kids. This is Trump’s America.

Show me how many times he’s spoken up after a school shooting, if he spoke up at all when a Minnesota Senator, her husband, & their dog were murdered, when he spoke up when Mr. Pelosi was beaten with a hammer. If you can’t show me the receipts for those, he’s a hypocrite and worst kind of minister.

We all know this means “14 year olds of color only,” NOT all 14 year olds.

“I don’t know her.”

Even as jets were ordered to fly over the capital in an attempt to literally silence their voices.

It’s Khazad-dûm!

The Senate map suddenly looks a lot better for Democrats. But still not a slam dunk. The Democratic brand is still in the toilet. But the party is getting some big names to run in tough races.

Undaunted Fighter for Workers Sherrod Brown could deliver for Democrats

Each week, The Contrarian selects an undaunted individual working to defend democracy

This week's spotlight: Former Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown

With his comeback bid now official, we celebrate Brown as an undaunted, unafraid, and unapologetic champion for working people.

Didn’t spring for the gold testicles to hang from the back? I mean, if your dick is that small you might as well go for the little dick energy truck testicles too.
And rap? I mean if you’re a bunch of nazzis whitewashing Murica, why you appropriating rap? You hate em or envious? Make up your mind.

I have art books by Tom of Fi, Glen Hanson, & Beau. I wish someone would rerelease Donelan’s comics again and put books of Julius, Josman, Roscoe, Roger Payne, & Harry Bush out there. These are the artists men of an age grew up on in mags before the internet. We’d gladly buy them in print again!

Would love his book, The Male Nudes but it’s so expensive now!
