wow I wonder what they have in common

There are a ton of white history celebrations that don’t require Confederate flags.

I have sent a copy of ‘The Onion’ to every member of Congress. To spread its message to less powerful people, I have also taken out an ad in a lesser newspaper. Read my full letter here: theonion.com/why-im-sendi...

Something I am thinking about right now is that a 3 million dollar program that allows abused women to take their pets with them to domestic violence shelters is about to be cut because “we don’t have the money” but the government is about to spend 1000000000x more than that to bomb people

World War 3 kinda sucks, but you know, it was either this or pronouns

I’m starting to think it was a bad idea to put people in charge who want to start a conflagration in the Middle East in order to usher in their preferred End Times religious fantasy.

the reason these trucks look “silly” is that they have large windshields and a low hood, which increases visibility and reduces risk to pedestrians. trucks like this should look normal and F-150s should be the silly ones

Job Garcia’s kidnapping by the Trump administration is the top story on the LA Times website right now. www.latimes.com/california/s...

There can be no future for constitutional government in the United States that treats this as merely an unfortunate election outcome producing an administration with bad policies. It must be repudiated root and branch as an illegitimate criminal enterprise, void and unlawful in its entirety.

Approaching a priest and seeking absolution in the bathroom cuz you feel bad about doing a fascism is wild

BREAKING: Mahmoud Khalil speaks out after being released from ICE detention. "The Trump administration are doing their best to dehumanize everyone here," Khalil said.

Asking questions of ChatGPT and the like, is this generation’s Magic 8 Ball.

I could save Space X a ton of money with some aluminum foil, toilet bowl cleaner, and a 2-liter bottle

These are all so depressingly good.

Once a guy at my airport gate was bragging about being at January 6th and then I passed him sitting in first class when I boarded and whenever I read stuff like this I think about how his life doesn’t get any better or worse in any way if a trans teenager kills themselves. Evil for the sake of evil.

Plessy v. Ferguson for trans people

AI can’t pee in bottles while driving a delivery truck.

Can take this back to Ras Baraka getting arrested for what the coverage generally called a "protest" when what he was trying to do was inspect, as mayor, a property in his city where detention was being done without permits under what turned out to be dangerous and inhumane conditions

Is it bad when the gestapo arrest a candidate for NYC mayor?

The Club World Cup is icky and a transparent cash grab, but this ball is glorious.

There's a thread on AskReddit asking, "People who have had to drain their life’s savings on a single event, what happened?" 99% of the answers are depressing American stories about medical bills, 1% is an Australian who found a wombat burrowing under their house.

If you're sending troops into cities for ideological and political reasons, that makes those cities occupied regions

I'm trying to imagine a Democratic president saying openly and proudly that he would be sending federal agents to target the 'Republican Power Center' in Texas, Florida, and Tennessee. We would be in the midst of a civil war before he'd finished saying those words.

When public opinion begins to swing against Republican presidents to this extent, the traditional move is “start a war with a much smaller country.” Something to keep in mind.

“A deranged maniac impersonated a police officer and killed lawmakers but if you’re an immigrant be sure you immediately comply with plain clothes people who won’t identify themselves telling you to get in a van”, what a fuckin country

What happened in Minnesota is a direct consequence of the violent way that Trump talks about his political opponents.

When Stephen Miller gave the orders to ICE to conceal identity, Miller helped get these elected officials shot. He’s complicit in these attacks. Impeach, remove, prosecute, imprison.

Bernie Sanders had to apologize for a random person on Twitter with 32 followers being an asshole. It became a nationwide story An individual pretends to be a cop and murders sitting Dems and not a single law enforcement agent nor right wing elected will be questioned if they're at fault. They are.

Now, I’m not a lawyer but I do believe that’s a violation of my rights.

The Minnesota assassinations, the attempted arson at Governor Shapiro's home, and the violent arrest of Senator Padilla are all straight out of the Jim Crow terrorism playbook. Same goes with cops aiming for journalists covering the ICE protests. None of these are new tactics, just a new iteration.
