Oh FFS, grow a pair

I finagled my way into an AARP convention when I was 32 just to hear her read her poetry 🫶🏻

Retiring US Capitol Police Chief Tom Manger tells @CBSMornings - the pardons of 1500+ Capitol rioters were a "slap in the face" to police and his department =====>

Ja wohl, mein Fuhrer! 🤬 Support science Support independent research Support knowledge Support not becoming a puppet state

Check out my latest in Slate: did the CIA create America's biggest gun seller? Sure looks like it! (gift link) slate.com/news-and-pol...

Ya don’t say. Shocked, I tell you, shocked!

Trust me, you do not want to fuck around and get long Covid. Studies show that the vaccine lowers that risk immensely, even if you do contract Covid. Where’s big pharma and their capitalism when we need them?

Stop the @bsky.app bashing. We’re all under a tremendous strain. We’re not perfect. I block when I need to, but ignore most foolishness. Don’t become goaded into leaving a platform that’s doing almost all the right things. To organize for 2026, we need to stay in communication w/each other.

MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND STORY: French caretakers take the sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy and scrub it into the letters to give them the brown/gold coloring. They do this for all 9,386 soldiers who died. France also gave us this land as American soil.

And does so in a MAGA hat 😤 Four years at West Point and this is your send off — a ranting wannabe dictator. Cadets — this is an example of what our troops used to fight against

Damm ☹️

Auto-pres

Fundamentally changes the direction of our international policy, and nary a peep from MSM 😖

Scores of staffers at the White House National Security Council have been abruptly dismissed as part of a sweeping overhaul that slashes the staff from over 300 to just 50. The move shifts the NSC’s role from policymaking to simply carrying out the president’s directives.

Never take seriously those who ridicule low income people for having a smartphone or laptop. “If they’re so poor how did they buy an iPhone???” Because they’re trying to escape poverty, not the 1700s, genius. If you think basic tech access is unnecessary or a luxury, survive a month without it.

Managing to unite Belgium against us — impressive!
