"I prefer when the dragon motif goes all the way down the arm, then again I grew up in the 90s and can't be held responsible for my bad taste."

there is no reason for anyone outside college-level and higher literature students and academics to be reading books written more than fifty years ago. yes, i mean adults and kids. yes, i mean in schools. yes, i mean in college unless someone is specializing in older literature. we need to stop wasting time with outdated garbage and teach students contemporary texts. all we’re doing is teaching them to hate reading and reject understanding the world as a result.

The book flies off as Green's triumphant yelling startles him, pages fluttering everywhere. Green: I can hear all the way to the bronze age!

The chyron reads, “Obama: Dems need to avoid scolding and ‘virtue-signaling.’” The post quotes O’Leary referencing China and concentration camps, and McGowan responding about West Virginia.

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

Homeland Security Wants Social Media Sites to Expose Anti-ICE Accounts

The Department of Homeland Security is flooding social media platforms with subpoenas demanding they unmask the people behind anti-ICE accounts.

This crackdown on speech shows EXACTLY why online age verification laws are so dangerous.

Here's why: 🧵

Judges have ruled more than 4,400 times since October (!) that the admin is "detaining immigrants unlawfully." Think of how much higher the number would be if all migrants had counsel & could afford bond. It's obscene. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Colbert Says CBS Didn’t Air Interview With Democrat Due To FCC 'Equal Time' Rule The Late Show host’s interview of Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico was published on his YouTube channel, but didn’t air on CBS due to the FCC’s ‘equal time’ mandate.

Transgender bathroom ban bills are now expanding to private businesses.

First, Kansas bill creates bathroom bounty hunters that could target trans people in any business.

Now, Idaho is hearing a bill today that lets you sue a private business if it lets trans people pee.

Our latest story.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.
