Vintage 1950s Superman disagrees with this blatant racism.

Revealed: Israel demanded Google and Amazon use secret β€˜wink’ to sidestep legal orders The tech giants agreed to extraordinary terms to clinch a lucrative contract with the Israeli government, documents show

Israel bullied Google and Amazon into adopting a devious 'wink' ploy, funneling coded shekel payments to dodge gag orders on data leaks in their $1.2 billion Nimbus scam. #ProjectNimbus

That was really dope of y'all to show up to the No Kings protests in such huge numbers. Now do voting booths.

Remember April 2009 when about 250,000 people took to America’s streets in Tea Party rallies and the media was like β€œoh man, the Dems are in trouble?” Approximately 28X as many people took to the streets to protest Trump yesterday. Didn’t even make the NYT front page.

I'm not a political genius, but I'm pretty sure the party that published a 600-page manifesto on how they want to shut down the federal government are the ones who shut down the federal government.

Remember to check in on your friends and family. Suicide affects millions of people every year, yet too many struggle in silence. Whether you’re facing challenges, supporting a friend or loved one, or are looking to help, your voice matters. #988Lifeline

This is so sad. So much progress in treatments against cancer and other diseases...all canned because of "DEI". Racism literally kills.

"We're all throwing dildos at women athletes to promote our memecoin" really puts a fine point on not just how sexist, mean and stupid so much of right now is, but also the grim degree to which we're just inundated with Stuff a 15-Year-Old Dipshit Would Think is Cool. A confederacy of Beavises.

The thing about the Epstein disgustingness that strikes me hardest is that hundreds of rich old men raped underage girls and the only person currently in jail for that vile behavior is a woman.

The name "Alligator Alcatraz" reminds us that America is currently run by adults who are like malicious, giggling children using magnifying glasses to burn ants.

They bend every law, they break every law, they hack voting machines, they deploy roving gangs of thugs to steal people off the street, they openly embrace racism, they lie nonstop, they incite political violence, and much more. Their evil knows no limits. Then they claim to be followers of Jesus.

Stripping birthright citizenship from people born in this country goes against rights guaranteed in the Constitution. We must stand against unconstitutional actions and stand up for the fundamental rights granted to people in the United States of America.

how sad is it that 'evidence-based' no longer applies to a government 'for the people'?

Imagine explaining Watergate to a younger person.

YOU: So, the GOP campaign broke into the DNC to gather information.

THEM: OK.

YOU: Then the Republican Administration lied about it to Congress.

THEM: ok, and then what happened?

YOU: That’s basically it.

THEM: and he was impeached???

Threat in Your Medicine Cabinet: The FDA’s Gamble on America’s Drugs A ProPublica investigation found that for more than a decade, the FDA gave substandard factories banned from the United States a special pass to keep sending drugs to an unsuspecting public.

A ProPublica investigation found that over a dozen years, a secretive group at the FDA granted exemptions to at least 22 foreign factories that had violated critical standards in drugmaking.

BREAKING: A federal judge in Massachusetts (the Reagan-appointed William Young) has declared the Trump administration's cuts to NIH grants β€” ostensibly over Trump's EOs on gender ideology and DEI β€” are "illegal" and "void." He's ordering many grants restored.
