LA PROTESTERS: How to annoy ICE, cops, Guardsmen & Marines “patrolling” the streets? Blast “IN THE NAVY”, follow & dance party around them with BIG Pride flags, glitter bomb them & shout “Happy Pride Month”. Believe me, the ridicule they’ll get will make them LOATHE being in LA. #NotJoking

As usual, the cruelty is the point. Missouri has lived under the boot of a GOP supermajority for 22 years and they have consistently defunded schools. And now they are planning to close schools for the severely disabled.

We're no longer the leader of the free world. We're no longer a beacon of democracy and justice. We're no longer the land of opportunity. We're no longer a nation in which no one is above the law. Our myths about ourselves are killing us. What to do? davidrothkopf.substack.com/p/we-are-not...

Really shocked that an admin filled with podcasters, social media influencers, reality TV participants, indicted felons, crypto bros, drunks, Fox hosts, drug addicts, weirdos, and unqualified ass kissing toadies can’t keep their shit together for 24 consecutive hours.

That any of us have to care about the messy breakup of these two massive narcissists — and that they both individually wield such massive power — is an indictment of our political system and further proves the poisonous influence of Big Money on our democracy.

No reason to leave the credit out of an image post, imo. There’s plenty of space to say that the bright blue dot is Earth seen from Saturn, and also credit the folks with the attribution they requested. CREDIT: NASA/JPL-Caltech/Space Science Institute

The ignorance of this administration is jaw-dropping. On Wednesday, Rep. Summer Lee (D-PA) asked Education Secretary Linda McMahon if teaching the Tulsa Race Massacre or Ruby Bridges counted as “illegal DEI.” McMahon wouldn’t give a straight yes or no. That says everything.
