Your mail-in ballot could get thrown out on a technicality If you plan to vote by mail next year, you should plan to get your ballot in even earlier than usual.

When I explain that boycotting an election over an issue has never once forced a politician to embrace that issue, I'm not "scolding people to vote." I'm explaining reality.

Feel free to sit on your ass! Just don't pretend that your lazy apathy is somehow going to advance your agenda.

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

“The past was erased, the erasure was forgotten, the lie became the truth.”

“Black women like Joy Reid, Ketanji Brown Jackson, Shiela Jackson Lee, and Michelle Obama … used affirmative action because they do not have the brain processing power to otherwise be taken really seriously."

Reality jolt ⚡️

Meet Caroline, a former TPUSA insider. She saw firsthand how Kirk’s world runs on cruelty, trolling, and blind obedience. It took years to admit the truth.

NOTE: recorded in July, before Charlie Kirk’s murder, which makes it hit even harder.

They are literally canceling culture

❤️ if you think Kimmel and Colbert need to start their own podcasts immediately to amplify the resistance so the truth can be made loud and clear and we can take back the House and Senate come 2026 midterms.

Trump’s ultimate plan is to make being a Democrat a crime.

If not fascism, why fascism shaped?

Traitor Trump will spend the entire night trying to spin his disastrous Oval Office ambush stunt into a political win.

Zelenskyy is a war hero.

Trump is an all-time zero.

Of course.

The rules, if you are keeping track:

If a single left activist anywhere in the world says "defund the police," it becomes the official position of the Democratic Party, now and forever.

If the president's top surrogate repeatedly sieg-heils on stage, it's ambiguous, impossible to interpret.

Weird that we have to say this, but the government doesn’t get to decide what gender a person is.

They win when you:

- lose hope
- give up
- become cynical and withdraw
- keep silent to stay off their radar

Don't let them win.

A screenshot of Maggie Smith's "Good Bones" Life is short, though I keep this from my children. Life is short, and I’ve shortened mine in a thousand delicious, ill-advised ways, a thousand deliciously ill-advised ways I’ll keep from my children. The world is at least fifty percent terrible, and that’s a conservative estimate, though I keep this from my children. For every bird there is a stone thrown at a bird. For every loved child, a child broken, bagged, sunk in a lake. Life is short and the world is at least half terrible, and for every kind stranger, there is one who would break you, though I keep this from my children. I am trying to sell them the world. Any decent realtor, walking you through a real shithole, chirps on about good bones: This place could be beautiful, right? You could make this place beautiful.

I DID miss this. I’ve been yelling at the TV this morning about needing them to give equal time to the pro- congestion pricing perspective!

I would love to see a bunch of musical artists and celebrities put on a nationally televised tribute concert for Pres. Jimmy Carter on inauguration day with all proceeds going to Habitat for Humanity.

Heartbreaking and scary
