Marco Rubio And Trump's Border Czar Defend Deportation Of U.S. Citizen Children Both men said the children weren't deported... they just went with their mothers.

Every Senate Democrat voted to confirm Marco Rubio.

Every single one. They should never live that down. Yes, that includes Warren and Sanders and Booker.

I really really want to stress that novovax is the covid vaccine preferred by a lot of people in the disability advocacy space. Disability advocates have pushed hard to maintain access for this vaccine that's not as well known as Moderna or Pfizer, but is better tolerated by a lot of people

Mel Brooks is so great. Even Mel Brooks bits that don’t work are still enjoyable because it’s done in such a pure spirit of loving goofs. When Patrick Stewart shows up in Men in Tights and says John is now slang for toilet you can tell he loved saying that more than any Shakespeare he’s ever done

this is right up there with the McDonald’s coffee lawsuit on the list of pop culture jokes where all the important context was omitted. there’s dangerous equipment on an arena stage! the M&Ms are a test of HOW MUCH ATTENTION YOU PAID TO THE DETAILS OF A CONTRACT FULL OF ARTIST SAFETY INFORMATION

Social movements are more likely to have success when three factors are present: elite conflict, shifting public opinion, and elite blunders.

Mass collective action can create the conditions for these factors to emerge and deepen.

If you are taken and removed from a country you’re a a citizen of, it’s an illegal kidnapping
