What a cool job to have. Even cooler that you get nervous doing the big things.

The End of Colbert's Show Signals Trouble One of the first signs of authoritarianism is headwinds against comedians

You can measure a society’s political freedom by how openly comedians are able to mock or satirize the government. CBS’s decision to silence Stephen Colbert, announcing the impending end of The Late Show, is another incipient sign of trouble in the United States.

Cover of the history comic “Rosa Parks and Claudette Colvin: Civil Rights Heroes” by Tracey Baptiste and Shauna J. Grant

This graphic novel is for 8-12 year olds but I would even recommend it for an adult who only had surface knowledge of Parks and Colvin. The book takes great care not to sugar-coat the fullness of their stories

No. 1 pick Cooper Flagg has arrived in Dallas! 🤩

Of course he had to ruin the one nice, sunny weekend we’ve had in 1,000 years.

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

I’ll never get over that one. 27 became 72 and my trust in humanity has been warped ever since.

Seems pretty clear that Anne Frank would not have been safe here in the USA either.

A Christianity that gets offended at the idea of a society using its resources to care for one another is a Christianity that has abandoned Jesus a long time ago.

🤣

The CFPB Has Been Gutted The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau terminated the positions of 1,406 employees at the congressionally mandated agency.

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

Golden sells us out again. #Maine voters don’t forget shit like this.

Thankyouverymuch.

What a game!

I’m so f’n fed up with the double standard and hypocrisy.

Well, that didn’t take long.

Honest reporting from The Toronto Star.

This is really unfair to everyone who just voted for him for the racism.

Great photos of the tribute to one of the best rosters in Red Sox history, imho.

I was lucky enough to grow up 6 miles from Fenway and watch Pudge play. Unforgettable team and #27 was muh man!

Come at me, Maine spring!

There is nothing worse than 42 degrees and rain….except 36 degrees and driving rain.
