When a proposed law goes out of its way to do something as odious, evil, & unpopular as requiring married women to show multiple forms of ID just to perform their constitutionally protected right to vote… that’s not a bug, that’s a feature. This “law” is a joke & obvious voter suppression.

Trump is a Dirty Old Whore, Wearing Too Much Makeup, Willing To Do Anything for a Dollar. The Clean Air Act Funeral. Imagine cheering for more pollution, while claiming you’re “pro-life.”

If smoke fills a room and you remove the smoke detector, congratulations — you’ve solved the beeping problem.

Not the fire.

The difference between a judicial warrant and an administrative warrant is the difference between a $20 bill and a napkin that a fascist wrote "twenty dollars" on.

what if i told you, through the power of forensic analysis, we are closer than ever to knowing the exact Far Side cartoon that is making Sting smile in this iconic photo. 🧵 👇

The ads everywhere are making everything unwatchable. TV used to be programmed with ad breaks. Now commercials just get shoved in mid-sentence at times.

The administration’s internal polling numbers for Texas must be 10 feet BELOW the toilet for them to sic Carr on CBS and ABC over an interview with a state-level politician.

Don’t these idiots know this just means MORE people will see these interviews? 🤣

This is the interview Donald Trump didn’t want you to see.

His FCC refused to air my interview with Stephen Colbert.

Trump is worried we’re about to flip Texas.

The thing that Stephen Miller couldn’t have imagined — people standing up for each other en masse, something a person as soulless and evil as he could never conceive to be possible — is what the Trumpets failed to consider in hatching their plans.

American Principles in the Age of MAGA Nihilism Why the Trump administration fears authentic patriotism.

“Many have said civic virtue and sacrifice for the common good are dead. Those commentators have been proven wrong. The people of Minnesota and across the nation have rallied in opposition to “the harbingers of reappearing tyranny and oppression.”

When George Washington voluntarily stepped aside after two terms, he showed a world dominated by kings and emperors that America would be different.

Here, government is entrusted to the people, and power is limited by principle.

The reason these people have been attacking scholars and universities is that they stand in the way of the ahistorical bullshit they need to spew in order to construct white Christian nationalism

Ofelia Torres, teen who fought to have her father released from ICE custody, dies from rare cancer Ofelia Torres, 16, died on Friday from Stage 4 alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare and aggressive form of cancer, her father's lawyer confirmed.

A child dying of cancer spent her final days fighting to free her wrongfully detained father from ICE custody.
 
This comes just weeks after a mother from Maryland was denied the right to be at her son’s side as he died from cancer.
 
Not one dime for this cruelty.
