“Tenderness is the most modest form of love. It is the kind of love that does not appear in the scriptures or the gospels… It appears wherever we take a close and careful look at another being, at something that is not our ‘self.’” --Olga Tokarczuk www.themarginalian.org/2022/11/21/t...

DO NOT try to impeach him. You'll just increase his support again as it is finally eroding. With best wishes from a Canadian. www.cnn.com/2025/04/25/p...

The leader of Patriot Front, Thomas Rousseau, responded to an investigation by @philinvestigates.com about a PF compound in Tellico Plains, TN. Rousseau's response is hilarious and reveals how he attempts to keep his org relevant in the white power movement 🧵 www.youtube.com/watch?v=wi4V...

He didn't sign it, but it's signed. With his signature. Wonder if someone used an autopen. Wonder if he used an autopen. Wonder if he remembers using an autopen. Wonder if there's such a thing as an autoSharpie.

SNL has finally got the impersonation right, but they’re letting Trump off easy by not mocking the makeup. Just have a sketch where he keeps getting oranger skin and whiter hair between shots
