A real lovers to enemies, amirite, authors? 🥹

I can’t wait for everyone to hear about this on Facebook in a couple of months.

Can someone overdose on schadenfreude? Because, I think I might be there…

Apropos of nothing I feel like one of the most important things to help your kids develop is an ability to self-regulate.

Man, and y’all thought cookie web tracking was bad… Where are the people who were whining conspiracies about vaccines having tracking chips??? 🤷‍♂️

They WILL re-write the history books. They drape themselves in the “party of Lincoln” while flying the Confederate flag and pushing Jim Crow policy.

Mob boss presidency.

There are people - the average American worker - cheering on the fleecing of the average American worker. While their 401k’s plummeted, these mafiosos enriched themselves. We will run out of wool.

The 2025 Stein Rokkan lecture by Petr Kopecký is not great news for the United States. Depending on how you read it we’re pretty close to an autocracy and that’s because Republicans got to work on unchecked executive power and politicized courts a long time ago.

Is it too much to ask for an IRS Commissioner who understands the law?

Unironically they should buy up the domains for about 60 defunct local newspapers in swing states. Hire two reporters to write almost exclusively about highschool sports and new restaurants opening with every 10th article about how the local GOP is screwing over people.

“I would never be one to turn down that kind of an offer.” Truer words have never been spoken by Trump! But legality is a constitutional test—not a personality test. Is this a present “of any kind whatever” from a foreign state? It is—so Trump must seek Congressional consent.

You know what’s waste, fraud, and abuse? PREDATORY SCAM TEXTS AND CALLS

Growing up in the '70s I'd read about strongman rulers in far-off places like Asia or Africa who had billion-dollar Swiss bank accounts and mansions in the French Riviera while their citizens were mired in poverty, and wondered how that could be allowed to happen Now I know

Trump sycophant Stephen Miller says the White House is considering suspending Habeas Corpus. As a human rights lawyer, let me be clear: Due process & habeas corpus is arguably the last line of defense before fascism takes permanent hold. I cannot emphasize enough how dire this is for our nation.

They’ve molded the dried husk of Twitter to belch out misinformation and hyberbolic garbage that only fascistic simps engage with.
