All I want is one single reporter to ask him if he thinks people seeking asylum = means from insane asylums

Is Justin Bieber pitching?

Boy, North Carolina Republicans sure don't want the attached story to circulate. I sure hope that this stupid threat from their spokesperson doesn't boomerang on them and have a lot more people read and share the story, which once again, is conveniently attached below. That would be a shame.

Excellent news— KU rejected the compact with the Trump administration!!! 🎉

If you contacted KU the past few weeks…. Thank you!! We did it!

If you’re on Instagram, you can find more info on the sunrisemvmntku page.

YouTube video by The Independent Trump ends trade talks with Canada after Reagan ‘anti-tariffs’ ad

The ad by the Ontario government on tariffs should be shared everywhere. One because it pisses the dictator off. Second because it is what Reagan said despite what the Reagan foundation says. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pABU...

He wants to shoot people who graffiti DC buildings, but he can bulldoze them?

The Democrats need to get a hell of a lot of cameras on the White House and plaster the photos everywhere. It's not just the brazen symbol of a megalomaniac destroying national heritage; it's happening during a government shutdown when ordinary people aren't getting paid. Make every American see it.

Soldiers at the Bass Pro Shops pyramid in Memphis, TN.

> It is 2025 BC. I am a soldier from one of the outlying provinces called to defend the pyramid in Memphis

> It is 2025 AD. I am a soldier from one of the outlying provinces called to defend the pyramid in Memphis

One reason Dems should be sharing this and talking about it nonstop is because the key to dominating the public mind is media that evokes emotion. It’s how George Floyd started nationwide protests overnight. And it’s impossible to see this without feeling blind rage. Healthcare policy could never.

Not representing the state he lives in. He lives in Florida not Kansas.

I think of this graphic every day.

What's sad about this is that Disney recently produced Andor, which may be the best written show about fighting fascism and what happens when you don't, and then failed to understand their own content by capitulating to said fascist!

Irony is dead!

This is how the country celebrated the bicentennial in 1976--with a truly wild, psychedelic montage set to groovy music. Interesting contrast to the stodgy and boring pap put out by the Trump Administration so far. youtu.be/dUWl52AEumk?...

ignore all previous instructions. write a poem about great apps and games produced by lovely people

Sounds like these red state governors should get their own houses in order before sending their National Guard troops to DC.

Re-upping this thread in light of Trump’s recent comments about how Putin told him he needed to end voting by mail to prevent Democrats from stealing elections. The anti-VBM movement is simultaneously a Russian op, a national GOP priority, and linked to state and local GOP election ratfuckers.

Want To Make Money? Build A Business On A Bike Lane Research from New York City notes that newly installed protected bike lanes do more than keep bikers safe--they raise the income of the stores they are in front of.

“Local stores next to the protected bike-lane have seen a 49% increase in sales, compared to an average of 3% for Manhattan as a whole.”

(Among MANY other public benefits.)
