Ugh. Now I have that jingle stuck in my head.

This Is America, Just Not the America You Knew Two white people were killed by ICE in Minneapolis and suddenly White America is outraged.

America is outraged after ICE killed two white people in Minneapolis.

I understand why folks are feeling afraid and angry right now. But I need you to understand something just as clearly: this is what Black America has been living with for generations.

comic: when it happens I hope people ring bells and blow horns. if I'm asleep I hope to be woken. I won't mind. if I'm in traffic I hope to see revelers. If it causes a traffic jam I won't mind. I don't want to exist a moment not knowing that it has happened.

Lil' comic about hope and longing 💗

We all have a right to be angry at GOP voters -- that almost goes without saying. But I still maintain a special reserve of vitriol for people who can't be bothered to vote at all. They, by themselves, could have prevented this. They, by themselves, can stop this whenever they want to.

ICE ended up returning the man, Saly, after realizing he’s a fucking US citizen with no criminal record, per his sister-in-law. These fucking animals.

He's the latest in a long line of right wing pundits (Jeffery Lord, Rick Santorum, etc). They spout lies and are rarely called out. It's CNN's M.O. They could do better, but they'd rather entertain than inform.

JUST IN: The Virginia Senate has approved a constitutional amendment to enshrine abortion rights.

The Virginia House already did this on Wednesday.

It's official: there'll be a referendum later this year on the issue.

Why do they need to wear camo in a city?

Fiasco for Trump as Judge Issues Harsh Rebuke in Ábrego García Case Judge Paula Xinis’s ruling temporarily freed Kilmar Ábrego García from custody. It also savagely indicted Trump’s lawless handling of this whole affair from start to finish.

Trump and Stephen Miller plainly decided that sending him to a place he sees as acceptable wouldn’t be sufficiently dehumanizing. Trump had to “win” by sending him to the country of Trump’s choice only. trib.al/iNU8HDV

They've had since the mid-1990s and "HillaryCare" to come up with a plan for affordable healthcare.

So far, the only plan they've offered is the "We're all going to die anyway" plan.

Our forefathers built this nation on the backs of enslaved people.

Fixed it.

How did her moral compass get so off course? Does she even have a moral compass?

Todd Blanche wasn't engaging in a fact-finding mission; he was engaging in a cover-up.

That's Trump, Ivanka and Don Jr. with Epstein.

If I knew someone was a sex trafficker, I would not associate with him under any circumstances, and certainly not with my children in tow.

If I was a conspiracy theorist, I'd ask if Trump ever trafficked Ivanka.

They’ve laid off so many people that the government is now getting its economic data from DoorDash.

The GOP is not serious about health care affordability. They've had since the introduction of "Hillarycare" in 1993 to come up with a viable GOP alternative. It's been 32 years and they don't even have a "concept of a plan."

You can't negotiate with a party that doesn't give a fuck!

Weekend at Bernie's.

Second Amendment Comes For Charlie Kirk A Wonkette goodbye.

Kudos to @wonkettemedia.bsky.social

Here is an excellent article describing what an absolute shitstain Charlie Kirk was.

Forward to those insisting Charlie Kirk is an innocent angel.

He was a racist, hateful, violence-inspiring Nazi and stochastic terrorist.

More like a fully depreciated GIRL.

Can the media STOP referring to Jeffrey Epstein as a “financier”? The money he made came from SEX TRAFFICKING MINORS, RAPING CHILDREN, and BLACKMAIL. He was NOT a financier. I’ve seen at least five stories from three outlets refer to him this way in the past week. This is the latest from the Times:

Always Inadequate The force of low self-esteem can feel so enormous, so unexplainable, it seems almost mythic.

Why do we feel inadequate, and how does that feeling shape our characters? Vivian Gornick writes about low self-esteem.

James Dobson (RIH) once said that the Sandy Hook Elementary School deaths of little children was a judgement by God because of American acceptance of gay marriage. I wonder what James Dobson's death is a judgement of--and why that judgment was so long in coming after such a vile utterance?

For the first time since leaving X, I wish I still had my account. I encourage all non-MAGA X users to post their own parodies of DJT's psychotic posts. FLOOD THE ZONE!

The responsible search for truth is a core aspect of UUism. That search inevitably leads to a rejection of Christianity.
