Looks like a tardigrade or a flea. In a good way.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

Rep Yassamin Anasari has set up a table and a sign saying "Mike Jonhnson is starving families and gutting healthcare to cover up the Epstein files, CHANGE MY MIND" outside Johnson's office.

Absolute queen shit

Regular reminder that Axios stories saying Dems are about to cave are likely sourced from GOP staffers trying to make it happen.
Doesn't mean it definitely won't happen. But it's like those NYT stories that Harvard is considering caving (they haven't). The anonymous source was trying to manifest it.

what he actually said was that mamdani doesn’t need his help and that he doesn’t live in new york but that he thought the race was very exciting and that cuomo disqualified himself, but, you know, hey, go ahead and make up people to get mad at if that makes your sunday morning more exciting

hell yeah this is sick

bitch i already ate those didn't you read the note

"it's" in that instance doesn't need an apostrophe.
"... its own statement."
This unsolicited pedanticism was not brought to you by AI. Thank you for your support.

Do you remember when the White House had good taste?

Back when the art had meaning, the rooms had soul, and the President had both.

Humanity is doing great

The most evil American is the President of the United States

The most evil man ever to become a US citizen after years of living here illegally will become the world's first trillionaire

And the center of global democracy, the White House, will soon host an MMA cage match

Watch to the end

DHS confirmed it has stopped automatically storing officials' text messages.

Instead, officials are supposed to take a screenshot, send that to their work email, download it onto their work computer and run a text-recognition program on it. Every time.

They’re counting on you to sit this one out. Don’t give them what they want.

Get loud with your ballot. Drop it off today or hit the polls tomorrow ASAP.

California and 20 other states are suing the Trump Administration for suspending next month's SNAP benefits despite having funds ready for this kind of situation.

This is cruelty. The federal government is abandoning the 5.5M Californians relying on this critical program.

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

Tax Day Is Met With Tea Parties (Published 2009)

Here's a gift link to the New York Times' coverage of the initial Tea Party rallies in April 2009 which inspired the media to treat it like a massive movement.

Check out how tiny the crowds were:

Philly: 200
DC: "several hundred"
Boston: 500
Austin: 1,000
Houston: 2,000

Chicago Mayor Issues Defiant Call For A General Strike It was an audacious proposal, given that the U.S. has never held a true, nationwide general strike.

Whoa. Chicago mayor calls for a general strike; now we're talking

If you were one of the millions of people at No Kings who has a subscription to the NYT that diminishes your number to thousands. Now would be a good time to cancel your subscription

Some folks were worried that they'd sic thugs on the protestors or declare martial law. Instead they posted AI videos and complained.

These people have no juice. Their supporters are cowards. They are are all bark and no bite. They collapse when we push back. Remember that.

Be aware that the DHS account in particular is known to quote dunk on regular people to encourage their followers to harass them.

The detach quote function will come in very handy here…

Bye!

I think I've made myself clear.
Have a great day.

I agree completely that there are highly practical reasons not to enter into mainstream politics. Which candidate would be your preferred choice for NYC mayor?
