Love your partner truly and deeply, such that if someone were to unalive them, you'd grieve a bit longer than ten minutes before pumping yourself into skin-tight leather pants and going onstage to run your fingers through the hair of someone else's partner.

Not to give unwarranted attention to your very disturbed and unserious take, but I'm curious if you have any proof--i.e. links--of Zohran Mamdani saying either of those things?

I mean, WTF dude.

🩸🩸🩸 NEVER FORGET: Instead of honoring our Constitution's key principle of a Peaceful Transfer of Power, POS Donald Trump Abused his Power on Jan 6th by inciting this violent & deadly attack on our country's Capital and should be in prison for life 🩸🩸🩸

Donald Trump got mad at the TV, so now stuff costs more "ALL TRADE NEGOTIATIONS WITH CANADA ARE HEREBY TERMINATED."

This title is perfect

The rejoinder to that bullshit should be "concentration camps and homeless shelters/encampments don't have kitchen tables", because 1) that's where the U.S. is headed and 2) throw it in their face as an argument from privilege.

"No one cares about the destruction of the Statue of Liberty or Trump serving Bald Eagle at Mar al Lago".

It's so offensive. To suggest the hoi polloi have no civic affinity for this country. The right goes nuts over kneeling over the Anthem but the literal destruction of the WH is woke shit?

EXACTLY.
The whole "pivot-to-something-I-want-to-talk-about/point-I-want-to-make" is infuriating when *anyone* does it, D or R.

It's condescending, for one ("Why are you bothering me with this superficial stuff when there are bigger concerns").

STOP THE PIVOT and just answer the bloody question!

A storied, magnificent building
(A lily that needed no gilding);
A beautiful garden
That made his heart harden--
All trashed by this fake and unskilled "King".

Someone needs to remind Whitmer--and anyone else hand-waving the vile destruction of the East Wing to make way for the vile construction of Versailles 2.0--what happened to the royals when the French proletariat got sick and tired of starving while leadership loaded up on jewels & gold tchotchkes.

Federal agents descend on Chinatown in apparent raid The raid follows recent federal arrests at a Midtown migrant shelter, part of what officials call a broader push to “restore law and order” in New York City.

Federal agents from ICE and HSI—some in military fatigues and masks—descended on Chinatown today in an aggressive and reckless raid on immigrant street vendors.

Once again, the Trump administration chooses authoritarian theatrics that create fear, not safety. It must stop.

I like the idea of a big community garden, w/on-site agriculture teachers to show area students how to plant and grow their own food. Imagine how many familys could be fed with fresh produce from a space that large. If they use the external structure and install indoor vertical farming, even more!

Into *what* should President Alexandria Ocasio Cortez turn the golden Epstein Ballroom (if it indeed gets built)?

Remembering when Chris Rufo insisted that Disney was a thoroughly corrupt institution because it had a small number of employees arrested on CSAM and sex trafficking charges and I replied, well, let's use that standard for Republicans, and he blocked me before I could finish the thread.

Pretty rich that Dear Leader blathers on about people allegedly spitting at police in DC when
HE PARDONED ALL THE Jan 6 PEOPLE WHO BEAT COPS WITH FLAG POLES, attacked them w/bear spray, & crushed their heads in doorways before pissing & shitting all over the halls of government.

A pasty old emperor named Don,
Whose cognitive function is gone,
Assumes we're naïve
And all dumbly believe
He really does have his clothes on.

An MRI is healthcare. Physical therapy is healthcare. A power wheelchair is healthcare. Gender affirming care is healthcare. Dental cleanings are healthcare. Addiction counseling is healthcare.

Healthcare dollars need to be spent on healthcare. Not feeding a system of harm.

The following items are NOT healthcare

❌The preauthorization process

❌Insurance company call centers
❌Medical billing and collection
