Breaking: An Epstein survivor just silenced press conference attendees when she delivered the following remarks:

“Today we stand in a moment that will decide whether our government belongs to the American people, or to those who prey on them.”

Yesterday, a Republican tried to give me holy water and Trump perfume because I’m “demonic.”

Extremely normal stuff coming from an extremely normal party.

It’s kinda wild the President is openly corrupt, Nazi sympathizing, and very likely a pedophile—and most Republicans in Congress are still willing to ignore the Constitution whenever he asks.

This would have been absolutely amazing (derogatory).

Trump Boat Bombings Darken as Secret Memo Reveals Holes in Legal Case A new White House memo argues that those carrying out the boat attacks can’t be prosecuted. Why? Because the White House says so!

Awful: Trump's boat bombings are now being justified by a new legal memo that relies on WH's own determinations as evidence. Memo also says people can't be prosecuted for the killings. But that reveals WH knows there's legal vulnerability here, Ds tell me.

the wealth of every millionaire and billionaire must be taken away and repurposed to help the public good if we are ever to have a fair society

"my least woke opinion is---"

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.

Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

Why aliens are (probably) too lazy to make first contact | BBC Science Focus Magazine Space is big. Why not kick back, relax, and wait for them to come to you?

The Fermi paradox asks why we've yet to find evidence of intelligent extraterrestrial life. The odds are we should!

A NASA scientist suggests that "alien societies might plateau at modest technological levels and even grow bored with exploration."

It’s insane to me that people are still shocked that a career fraudster convicted felon’s main goal was to rob the US blind out of revenge as well as greed whilst sitting in the White House that he laced with tacky gold-plating and bulldozed for his ballroom. I hate him.

I love this.

If child sexual abuse and an Epstein link can turn a prince into a former prince, it can turn a president into a former president. Release the Epstein files. @crustnews

This opens the door for Jack Smith to challenge Trump’s INVALID PARDON

He cannot pardon his co-conspirators or himself.

A six-panel comic. In panel 1, text says "People often wonder, why don't I see baby pigeons? Here's where they're hiding:" and there's an egg with an arrow pointing to a question mark, then an arrow pointing to an adult pigeon. Panel 2 says "Pigeons don't nest in trees. They nest in sheltered spaces on or in buildings. This keeps their babies safe from weather and predators." There's a pigeon nesting in a sheltered cavity in the side of a building. Panel 3 says "The hidden babies look like this: like moldy potatoes, but cute" and there are two baby pigeons looking, well, like moldy pink and gray potatoes with yellow fuzz. Panel 4 says "Older baby pigeons hide in plain sight. When they leave the nest, they're adult-sized, but they're still young and learning" and a fledgling pigeon is flying out of a building saying "aaaaaa". Panel 5 says "Here's how to identify these young pigeons" and shows a fledgling pigeon with arrows pointing to these features: eyes may be gray-brown, pale-edged feathers, smaller "nose" (cere), subdued hues, and looks worried. Panel 6 says "Scientifically speaking, though, all pigeons are sweet babies" and there are three very cute round pigeons, a gray, white, and red one, with arrows pointing to them to make things look scientific.

Baby pigeon mystery.

My last word on the matter

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.

Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.

This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

even when the democratic party has leverage and one of the craziest election swings the party intentionally self immolates it’s just so exhausting what is even the point of these people

The President of the United States cannot stay awake for more than an hour. He’s in and out of the hospital more than a patient with cancer. He has no idea who is being pardoned or given Carte Blanche over the use of US taxpayer dollars. We are being led by unelected people. I am angry.

Game company sows misinformation to cover up union busting, fans fall for it, actual employee posts explaining the employees were fired to prevent the studio unionizing

This is *unacceptable*

About to miss their bus

For some reason the media is not mentioning that the reason GTA6 is being delayed is they fired 40 staff over threats of unionization and now the rest of their staff are revolting

The union is calling on people to boycott btw!!
