Hm. She's out here saying the quiet part out loud: she wants to pretend that immigrants and non-MAGA people are often heroes, too. She wants to claim the country for people like her only, and how dare anyone contradict her bigoted narrative.

Capt. Flo Groberg, who’d been a platoon leader in the Pech in 2009-10, tackled one bomber, limiting the damage at the cost of serious wounds to himself.

Groberg was awarded the Medal of Honor—one of 13 earned by US troops in Kunar and Nuristan (out of 28 total Medals of Honor in the GWOT so far).

People with accomplishments of their own don't need to lay some kind of claim on the accomplishments of similarly complected people who have nothing to do with them. This is why white supremacists are always the least supreme whites.

The period of my life when I was working on my PhD and teaching college while my evangelical aunts who I don’t talk to anymore kept sending me PragerU videos on Facebook about how college professors are satanic pedophiles was a fun time

AI: Frequently wrong, but never in doubt

sorry your shitty daughter got fourth place at the swim meet and a trans woman got second, but if she really wanted to win she should've taken some testosterone

oh she didn't want to alter her whole body like that just to win at sports? no way

The problem isn't that transphobic parents are being ignored, it's that they're *lying about basic facts.* This is the dynamic on nearly every issue of public interest, from guns to climate change to economics.

"The bigots are lying again" is a fucking great message for democrats and it's true.

oh another thing is is Democrats adopt a strong anti-scam platform, good chance it negatively polarizes republicans into being actively pro-scam out of sheer negative polarization

I see what you did there. 10 points for the wordplay in homeopathy being "undiluted" bullshit.

imagine fleeing the Vietnam War and in your arms you're carrying a baby who will one day grow up to correct the US Secretary of Defense on his jeans. like bringing a football into the end zone

it's crazy that i wake up every day and think "i can't possibly have anything else to say on twitter" and then the US Department of Defense will be like "Our Secretary of Defense has great jeans ☺️"

The whole "moderate appeal" thing assumes voters have coherent views. It's all vibes, undecided voters aren't reading policy docs. They want someone they identify with, & they think of Dems as nags & scolds. Meanwhile the dumbest people on Earth are put in charge of policy under a racist rapist.

As end-of-empire scenarios go it is so much more dignified to get your capital city sacked by the Visigoths than to have a bunch of illiterate rich people in their 70s doing it through a series of incomprehensible tantrums because their brains were defeated by their phones.

Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.

SHOW US THE #EPSTEINFILES

We could have had cancer vaccines, and instead the United States will contribute nothing whatsoever to mRNA research, condemning millions of people worldwide to unnecessary illness and death

The public does not know this. They don't realize how the budget at their beloved 🏈/🏀 State U works, or that their kids won't be able to take courses/labs they need there anymore, bc they won't exist without federal $ & foreign graduate students.

Maybe someone should speak up about this stuff? 🤷‍♂️🧐

What is required for someone to be an American? 30% of Republicans say being White is very or somewhat important. www.pbump.net/o/what-makes...

He really upset some fascists with "The House of Bernarda Alba" which is one of my favorites in his plays. He's very good at writing centered on women and this one was pretty "yeah, fuck this patriarchy even when the enforcers are women, too" and that's solid. I do recommend it.

Federico García Lorca, for sure. There's some really lovely side-by-sides of his work and he's kinda just the guy for this moment. Bonus that there's plays along with poetry if you feel inclined to read a different genre. Poetry wise, "Llanto por Ignacio Sánchez Mejías" comes to mind immediately.

I'm wondering if the resentment this administration has towards the Episcopal Church is a factor here, beyond just the usual racist headhunting.

Catch-22 - if you don't follow the law, you're a criminal and they can expedite your removal if they catch you. If you do follow the law, they might just take you anyway. ¡Chinga la migra!

Voter demographic calculator showing that a white man 65-74 who is Agnostic, lives in Washington State, and in the city, and is straight with a post-graduate degree is 84% likely to be a Harris voter, 16% Trump.

Demographic voter predictions are surprisingly good, j/s.

Frasier Crane would absolutely have voted Harris. The actor who played him is famously Republican, but the canon has established that *Crane* is left of center.

Besides that, demographically, he's an educated and secular guy in the PNW-- basically never R.

President Trump's push to send migrants without criminal records to El Salvadoran prison camps to be beaten, tortured, and sexually assaulted reflects his commitment to Make America Great Again

Biff Tannen *is* Donald Trump. Duh.

Every one thinks the menswear guy is so nice but he’s a stone cold murderer.

Perhaps this administration has appointed all available washed-up Fox/Newsmax on-air talent and was forced to choose someone so radical as to have pursued higher education.

roger casement was the gay irish knight who did a lot of the work to end the genocide in the congo and was then killed by the british for his part in the easter rising
