Fantastic and spot on

A bright sun shines down on a huge crowd of people holding signs and cheering at a No Kings rally in Iowa

Save a little rage for the elimination of the USPS Bound Printed Matter rate.

It hasn't happened yet - the PRC (Postal Rate Commission - denied the recent USPS request to do so.

But with rates going up *again* on July 13, this special rate for book shipping will be de facto eliminated soon.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Apparently so.

Be interesting to see how she fares in the private sector.

Well, I certainly invoked his name after listening to this. Does that count?

Your reference to "hairy balls" (whoops!) tonight had me laughing out loud 😂 I'm right there with you in your contempt for these miserable and deeply ignorant little creeps.

Go figure.

The turnout in small towns across the country has been incredible drawing crowds of thousands. We’re already seeing over one million in attendance nationwide, and events are still underway. Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Ohio all had especially surprising showings.

Yes! And I think Joyland is rather underrated. Such a wonderful story!

We apologize for the length of this post, but we felt it was important to share the full details with you.

I do not understand this at all. At. All. What a huge betrayal.

Bribe for hire Pam Bondi has officially restored violent convicted domestic abuser Mel Gibson’s gun rights after being taken away from him in 2011.

I’ll say it again, Pam Bondi isn’t an Attorney General, she’s a criminal hired to help criminals.

Why did ANY Democrats vote for this garbage?!

Then get answers. Do Something. Congress and the Senate have far more power than a lot of pissed off voters when it comes to holding government criminality accountable. Enough with the Dithering! Take Action!

Someone adored this cat! Her name was Chassy and I have a set of photos of her from 1954.

Ugh, probably. But I wonder who fed it the prompt.

This is great! Do you know who made it? Or is it yours?
