For the love of god you don’t have to use the phrase “identity politics,” which only serves to diminish the cause of anyone who is not the default identity. Ask yourself what it is they’re doing that others oppose? This is a white nationalist project to remove black and brown people from the US.

No, they didn’t. Americans funded the pedestal. The poem was written as a donation for an auction to help fund the pedestal. The plaque itself wasn’t added to the pedestal until 1903, after a campaign brought by a friend of the poet. The statue had been open for 7 years by then.

Great piece, but something seems to have been cut out from this section, where a paragraph begins in the middle of a sentence.

I don’t know anything about the ICE storyline, but it seems to me the AI is Chekhov’s gun here. It’s going to go off by the end of the season.

His mom should’ve taught him “sticks and stones,” so he wouldn’t confuse yelling and mockery with violence.

There’s like one person in this video who even comes close to performing a proper swing. Everyone else is asking for an avoidable injury.

Maybe they could pass a resolution to limit the administration’s war powers here at home.

Unfortunately I can believe it. Minimum wage is a sick joke. I made more than that 24 years ago in a big box store retail job. It was barely enough to live on then.

The minimum wage *does* make the affordability crisis worse.
Because it is too low.

That illustration isn’t even peaceful. It’s soulless. Uncanny. No life in it at all. Just an old-ass car parked on an empty beach. Not even a bird to be found anywhere. Why would we want that?

Graham Platner, a candidate for Senate in Maine, had an interview with Pod Save America where they show a video of him shirtless with a totenkopf tattoo on his chest. He says he was drunk when he got it, chose it from flash on the wall, and didn’t know it’s a Nazi tattoo.

Because this is actually very famously a side by side comparison of Obama’s inauguration versus Trump’s

I wonder if part of the reason face value has remained low is that the fees kept going up & acts/venues are worried they’ll have trouble selling tix if they ALSO increase the ticket price itself. For many people it’s not feasible to buy at the box office so they have no choice but to eat the fees.

I went to Catholic school for K-8 in the ‘80s & ‘90s in both NY and VA, and we said it every day as part of our morning routine that included prayers. Once I moved to public school in 9th grade (in VA) I don’t remember doing it at all.

I - a middle-aged woman - frequently walk the streets of DC. Often alone, often late at night. Every city and town has violent crime, but the areas of DC people like him would even deign to go are very safe. Nobody is waiting outside Longworth HOB to mug him. He’s a coward and a liar.

‘Madly in Love’ Olivia Nuzzi Had ‘Incredible’ FaceTime Sex With RFK Jr: Report

I assume they did this so that none of us ever have to read a headline like this again.

What’s the source? There was no “no kings” protest in DC yesterday. The same video is online elsewhere saying it’s LA. I don’t think it’s LA or DC. I think it’s fake.

This picture is not Kentucky. It is from a different protest in 2018 - March for Our Lives - in Washington DC.

This is the March for Our Lives in Washington DC in March 2018. You can see the FTC building and the Old Post Office clock tower in the background.

This is from his first inaugural parade in January 2017. It was as poorly attended as today’s parade, so it’s easy to confuse the two. The people in this pic are wearing winter hats and coats, which is ill-advised in DC in June if you want to avoid heat stroke.

Fact check: this is Philadelphia.

eight years ago today we all watched the glory of zendaya falling madly in love with tom holland and the internet was never the same

I saw Red Dawn as a child and had nightmares about it well into my 20s.

You’re about to get credit for inventing a new word!

258 million lives? In the last 100 days? How is that even possible? Was the entire population of the US in danger of dropping dead if a few kilos of illicit fentanyl crossed the border?

Should’ve put a “(Derogatory)” at the end of that headline.

I will say this - EVERYONE with power seems to be desperately hoping that unpopularity does the work that consequences need to do

I’m not sure you even need to be accused of a crime, unfortunately.

Ohhhh! So the reason he has the Declaration of Independence hanging in the Oval Office is to use the list of grievances as a sort of to-do list.

Americans Must Prepare to Fight for the Citizenship Rights of U.S. Prisoners Trump's Plan to Render U.S. Citizens to Foreign Jails Seeks to Exploit Americans' Disinterest in the Rights of Prisoners

I pray you’ll read my latest. We are being challenged as a nation and this is a test we must pass.
