Remember when Harrison Butker told a bunch of women college graduates that they would be happier staying home and raising kids than having a career? He scored zero field goals or extra points in last nights game. Guess he shoulda stayed home in the kitchen eh?

That's where we're headed this year!

Katie Couric: Above is the phone number for the U.S. Capitol switchboard where an operator will connect you directly with the office you request. Let your members of Congress know how you feel. It matters.

Her vigor flows like tides into my blood, Giving me strength erect against her hate. Her bigness sweeps my being like a flood. Yet as a rebel confronts a king in state, I stand within her walls without a shred Of terror, malice, not a word of jeer. Darkly I gaze into the days ahead, And see her might and granite wonders there, Beneath the touch of Time’s unerring hand, Like priceless treasures sinking into the sand.

If you weren’t clear: a President ordering a Federal health and disease agency to delete pages on its website is a public health crisis.

if a major politician held an emergency rally about the current ongoing coup by the richest man in the world, I think people would go to it. Shit is well and truly fucked. I can think of a couple of people who should do that right now.
