Beautiful festive snowfall! I so 💖 NYC!

The Americans Who Saw All This Coming—but Were Ignored and Maligned Call them the Cassandras: the people—mostly not white and male—who smelled the fascism all over Trump from jump street. Why were they “alarmists,” and how did “anti-alarmism” become cool?

The second worst Christmas song ever written, and new forms of poverty porn and saviorism Hi everyone, this will be the last post for this year. I’ll be back on January 6th. My older son, Viet, loves holiday music, and often asks for it to be played when I drive the kids to various places...

I have just approved TINY CARS to be built in America. Little SEDANS that should fit four at most but when you open the door 27 clowns spill out. HOW???

A chart titled "How Rich is Donald Trump: $7.3 billion," showing his wealth skyrocketing in 2025
