MUST LISTEN: A Republican veteran just checked Congresswoman Stephanie Bice for letting COLLEGE KIDS access sensitive government systems—including the ability to cut off veteran benefits. She had NO ANSWERS. Just straight-up LIES.

Current status: we're smuggling eggs in from Mexico now. So let's talk about WHY Mexico's egg industry has been stable- while US egg prices are through the roof! 1. Mexico puts people in jail for price-fixing. 2. Mexico lets farmers vaccinate their chickens against bird flu.

Andrew Lester, the 86-year-old Missouri man who shot a Black teenager who rang his doorbell by mistake in 2023, died Wednesday, just weeks before he was to be sentenced.

Look y'all, if you're posting images that are just text, especially short conversation starters, and have no alt-text? I immediately think you either don't care that you may be excluding some people or are actively choosing to do so. Be cool. Write some alt-text.

Since I’ve been getting this a lot - if you feel like supporting me by buying a jersey or something, I would rather you make a donation to Trans Lifeline or The Trevor Project www.thetrevorproject.org

The student who ripped this sign down did more for trans people than most of our politicians.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

"David Reid, an environmental scientist in Michigan, was surprised to learn his contract studying invasive species in the St. Lawrence Seaway was included on the list. 'That contract wasn’t canceled by DOGE or anyone else,' he said. The contract expired on Dec. 31 and he decided to retire...
