The ICE agents aren’t insurrectionists, extremist militiamen or criminals, they’re the police. This is what the police look like, this is how the police operate.

In my twenties, I saw a medium-ish sized turtle in the road and I just knew some stupid truckbro was going to run over it. So I stopped my car, ran over to the turtle, and as I reached to pick it up, it leaped at me and roared. ROARED. That's how I learned that snapping turtles don't need my help.

Life tip: if you normally function in your kitchen without your glasses, do not walk into your kitchen with your glasses on. You will lose the next hour plus to cleaning all the surfaces you had thought were already clean. 🫠

Ted Cruz "hates communists" because Cuban President Fulgencio Batista, who was not a communist, imprisoned and tortured Cruz's father for helping Fidel Castro, who was a communist and who freed Cruz's father from the non-communist prison. Proving, once again, that Cruz speaks absolute rubbish.

💡 regardless of your feelings towards religion, you can call your local Catholic Church & ask them to do the same ASAP, because again like it or not, this type of involvement from religious leaders can help people not get put into a concentration camp.

I am declaring a moratorium on all men calling themselves feminists. ALL men, including all progressives, leftists, liberals, Marxists (especially Leninists if they still exist because screw him for being such a misogynist jackass), etc. No. Just no. You males have to find a different word.

I truly don’t care who the mayor of NYC is but the Democratic establishment throwing everything they have behind a cartoonishly terrible person because they’re just that afraid of progressives is such a snapshot of this party as a whole and it’s making me a little more insane every single day

my hottest educational take is that schools should actively, non-punitively teach students how to admit when they don't know something, aren't sure or have made a mistake, with various teaching frameworks adapted to support this ideal, because people who can't admit fault are breaking the world

Hey folks. I know there's a lot going on right now, but I'd really appreciate it if you read this piece I wrote on the perils of raising an autistic child during the era of RFK Jr. and his campaign of insane conspiracies and cruel scare tactics geared toward people on the spectrum.

It's pretty wild that you can watch, in real time, a historic newspaper eat it because they love Trump. He doesn't just bankrupt his own casinos. He can bankrupt your paper too! It's striking how fast this happened. But also kind of impressive that subscribers gave em the finger and it mattered
