Really hard to look at this and all the other examples of bravery and kindness from ordinary people in this moment not think also of the tremendous cowardice exhibited over the past year by some of the richest, most well-protected people in business, media and politics
Make sure you’re ready to vote!
You don’t even have to vote for me, just participate in the democratic process. It’s incredibly important, now more than ever.

Steps in Trump war rhetoric:
1. We don’t have to play by the rules in war
2. We won the war
3. If you go by the rules I just made up we won
4. No fair
I’ll stop playing video games when I’ve died.
Instead of blowing up things in Iran, the federal government could have spent $11 billion in a week paying the entire household incomes for everyone in these counties. www.ms.now/opinion/trum...
Abolish ICE and CPB
Pre-911, this would have brought down the entire government. The post 9/11 world sucks.
Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.
I feel like it should be more widely unpopular that in the past year we’ve witnessed the creation of an American Stasi required to meet arrest quotas who utilize an AI technology created by a company run by a sweaty raisin of a billionaire who thinks Greta Thunberg is the antichrist.
You heard it from John Hickenlooper himself: Julie Gonzales can win this state as an abolish ICE, Medicare for all, no compromise with fascists, Democrat.
Let's get her elected.

Remember when cory booker held the senate floor and then um i forget
What is the point? In exchange for not invading us for no reason, Cuba will continue to not bother anyone and remain under sanctions for a thing that happened almost 65 years ago.
Conservatives use “1984” as an instruction manual.
In two minutes this doctor explains why anti-trans hysteria is completely unscientific and based on a fundamental misunderstanding of how transitioning facilitated through the medical system actually works

I was really confused because I didn’t realize Kobe stans like Van thought 81 points was the NBA single-game scoring record.
Only guy who took more than 11 shots the entire game. Shot 20 free throws compared to the 13 shot by the rest of the team.
I couldn't afford an AI companion, so I got a Magic 8 Ball to carry around with me and now we're in love.
one upside of all of this is the revelation that the swinging dick bankers and big rah rah capital execs and billionaires are actually meek little scared dogs and president AOC or whoever (god willing) should walk them on a leash and make them drink out of a bowl
This seems bad.
Trump officials moving onto military bases is a ridiculous, absolutely inappropriate thing, and the NYT story that credulously credited claimed threats as justifying such a move is also ridiculous.
Happy to say I’ve been boycotting Chili’s for a very long time because their food sucks and their drinks are watered down and overpriced. Also treat their employees bad. The service employees I know “end up” at Chili’s for a stint before landing a better job. So fuck Chili’s is what I’m saying.
They both look terrible. Like teenagers thinking they’re taking a badass photo, but really it’s just…this.
Yes. Both records are meaningless. Bam shot 43 free throws and played almost 42 minutes in a blowout win. His team mates shot 16 free throws combined, and not one played 30 minutes or attempted 10 shots. At least Bryant only shot 20 FTs.
Kobe would never have posted a gaudy scoring total if it meant eclipsing a great player from the past, though, having been justly renowned for his willingness to take a back seat and let others enjoy the glory
"We realized we were making ourselves deeply vulnerable to a class action suit that absolutely would have wiped us out financially so we're going to find a way to do this without actual human names attached."
At least 4 of the companies awarded contracts so far are owned by Cerberus Capital Management, a private equity firm founded by billionaire Steve Feinberg, who's current job is the Deputy Secretary of Defense.
