Imagine being so desperate to not feed people that you get an emergency order from the SCOTUS. It's shameful and it's on the GOP 100%.

James Watson is dead but his expansion of our knowledge in the area of DNA was immense. I'm not, of course, forgetting the fundamental contribution of Rosalind Franklin, who made this all possible.

Fuck that noise. She's nothing but toxic and she can't be trusted to do anything but serve her own interests.

MTG is lying to get re-elected. She's distancing herself from him because he's now politically toxic. Don't fall for it.

The world doesn't need billionaires and they should be taxed out of existence. The world definitely doesn't need a crazed trillionaire and he should definitely be taxed up the wazoo.

But some of us were paying attention when our grandparents were talking about vaudeville... Or when the news reported that a recently deceased star got his or her start in vaudeville. For the record, my grandfather was born in 1913. So it's not entirely as you suggest.

Your original statements said nothing about the unhoused. Why are you suggesting that now?

On the subject of the former vice president:if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all. So, I'll be quiet today.

Welp, I guess if HOME DEPOT is going to let ICE in to kidnap humans, they no longer need my patronage. @homedepotofficial.bsky.social, fix the doors on your private property and apologize for your mistakes and I'll come back.

The immediate follow up question should have been "how do you know they're terrorists if they haven't seen a judge or jury?"

This is from our police chief, who, admittedly, would have a better understanding of the situation in Portland than, say, someone watching FOX in Washington DC. www.reddit.com/r/oregon/s/t...

RIP Jane Goodall. You encouraged peaceful empathy and reduced our fear of the foreign. You were an example of what a good human could be. Thank you.

React videos are a symptom of the inability of people to have original thought.

Stop being a moderate. There is no pleasing both sides of this argument. You give in one time to THIS bully and we'll never be rid of them.

The revenue coming in off the tariffs?! You mean the price increases American consumers pay for the tariffs?

Clear evidence of the wartime hellscape that is Portland right now

If precedent means nothing, I wonder how he'll vote on the Loving decision when it comes up for review.

They're a chain. They have locations all over. Oh, and they taste terrible.

Voodoo is for chumps. Their flour/sugar concoctions are terrible and made for tourists.

That's it?!! You're in our line of defense against tyranny and that's all you have to say? If you're being bullied, you tell the bully to fuck off. It's no longer status quo.

Might I suggest that if you want to do more, turn off ABC. By watching you're still feeding the dog that bit you.

Portland is such a hell hole. It's been burned down especially for the troops.
