If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

Democracy dies in oligarchy.

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum.

Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum.

Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum.

ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

They're investigating the victim's wife, the victim's friends, the mayor and the governor too, but no, they're not even going to glance in the direction of the murderer.

β€œLifeless… foam around his mouth. Nobody wants to see their kids like that.”

ICE attacked a family trying to LEAVE the besieged neighborhood and hospitalized a 6 month old baby that couldn’t breathe.

Mark Ruffalo always brings it. And onstage, Nikki Glazer and Wanda Sykes. But those winning awards remained eerily silent, as if cowed and muzzled, while throughout the country, thousands took to the streets.

While Rome burns. Which there was very little acknowledgement of by anyone winning an award.

Bending your institution to meet the prejudices of your dumbest, meanest students is a surefire way to destroy a university.

Now any student can just scrawl β€œthe Bible says this is wrong” on any test and skate to an A at the Oklahoma Football Outlet and Diploma Factory.

I still can't believe they're trying to make a war happen out of thin air. Not just their abrogation of Congress's role in formally declaring a war -- that's been a slippery slope for decades -- but their total unwillingness even to go through the motions of drumming up public support.

Native American actress gave ICE agents her tribal ID. They called it 'fake,' she says

Indigenous actor Elaine Miles of "Northern Exposure" was detained by ICE at a Redmond bus stop. When she showed them her Tribal ID, they told her it was fake.

I'm usually the only one, or one of 2 or 3. But the 2 times Covid snuck into my household, it was because of contact with people who just got off flights.

When is The View going to have me on the show or are they just going to continue to let an abuser spout lies on their show?

incredible damage to NYC community--Bluestockings was an incredible bookstore, but also the place that would eagerly welcome local high school kids who didn't feel safe having LGBTQ support gatherings on campus, sell your insane zine and treat you like an author, host highbrow panels, devastating
