This is the president of the United States taking a break from gold-and-marble interior renovations to say he’ll defy a court order to feed hungry Americans.

Nero would be proud.

Meet the Austrian nuns who fled a care home to break into their old convent Octogenarian Sisters Rita, Regina and Bernadette went back to their old convent with local support, and an Instagram following. "People are calling us the rebellious sisters!" Rita says.

Actually, we’ve rallied around him as far as I’ve seen, because we understand what harm reduction is. Even tho he refused to endorse Kamala and helped boost the uncommitted movement that got us here.

There is zero reason why anyone in this country should go hungry. Anyone who needs food, or wants food should get food; no questions asked.

I mean, I think that blue no matter who should be accompanied with a concerted effort to move the Democrats left during the primaries. And there is a point at which a candidate is too Republican to vote for.

...they're not your ideally perfect-in-every-way dream candidate. Every single person who didn't get out there and vote for Harris is guilty of helping Mad King Trump sleaze his way back into the White House.

"But Gaza..." What? You think TRUMP gives the tiniest of fucks about Palestinians?

You named three people out of a party of thousands.

Did Mamdani endorse any of them during his term as an Assemblyman? He demonstrably didn’t endorse Harris.

i'm not sure we know yet how that'll break down, tbh, but I do expect a decent chunk of Cuomo primary voters to vote Mamdani in the GE.

"how can you call yourself blue if you don't sacrifice at least two marginalized groups to appease the right"

Wow it’s amazing how fast I needed to mute this

The failure of the “blue no matter who” crowd to rally behind Mamdani really just lays the reality of that position bare, doesn’t it?

The real story of Rapunzel... and Silence. Could this story of danger, magic, and romance truly be worth it?

The obscene face of Christian Nationalism: outlandish untaxed wealth in defiance of Jesus. Oh, and this time, slave laborers, too! Glory!

Just remember, for any money you give to Heaven, there is always a 100% handling fee here on Earth.

This story about the FBI director handing out challenge coins that celebrate vigilante violence came out the same week that he fired an agent for having a small rainbow flag on his desk.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”

Even if you support massive deportation operations, under no circumstances should ANYONE be ok with US citizens being forcibly removed from their homes and detained without explanation.

This is a clear violation of their constitutional rights and should universally condemned.

The Trump administration just made it harder to know if federal judges are actually qualified.

Agents zip-tie kids in new immigration crackdown in Texas At least three children were taken into custody and zip-tied at the San Antonio Immigration Court.
