By turning the United States into an oppressive, economically barren theocracy, Trump has substantially reduced the number of migrants seeking to enter the country.

I heard the Pope dissed the shit out of JD Vance. Fuck yeah. Get his ass, Francis.

Putting RFK Jr in charge of our nation’s health is like putting Jeffrey Epstein in charge of child safety.

Mitch McConnell fell down some stairs again.

“Audacious”? Truly disgusting.

has anyone recently considered striving to popularize jackets (just) for your legs?

congressional and judicial democrats should start wearing powdered wigs again to let everyone know that they mean business

If we survive this idk if we can do anymore white presidents

Well the award for most cowardly, boot-lickingest academic society has squarely gone to the American Society of Microbiology, who has taken down features of various non-white scientists. Absolutely pathetic behavior. Those articles are now coming up as “under review”. Truly sickening cowardice here.

Easy to think here that we're all overwhelmed by the news & aware of much of it. As a professor, though, I get to talk to large groups of educated, lib/left young people, *majority* of whom have only the barest awareness of what's happening. So talk to your IRL friends. You'll be surprised.

If Valium isn't helping you sleep, have you tried listening to the soft sounds of Chuck Schumer expressing outrage on the Senate floor?

No cheating. Your last saved celebrity pic is now your therapist. Yeah, this seems right.

Good lord.

Sadly, this is totally relevant to Americans today.
