Las Vegas, listen to this voice. Oakland LOVED the A's, many of us still love the A's, but we loathe and despise this man who disrespected the players and the fans.

Today they have crossed a deep red line. We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

Its wild to me how common death and rape threats were at Twitter and how literally none of these articles about Blue Sky make any reference at all to why women and femmes don’t want to be there anymore.

Seems worth noting that Noem's story is that "no one knew who" Padilla was. Hmmm. You're in CA with US marines in LA. CA.... I think two senators? You don't know what one of the state's two senators looks like?

Before you signal boost protest safety advice, make sure you know: 1) Who is giving the advice. 2) Why you trust that person or group to know what's safe and what isn't at protests. 3) What type of protest the advice is applicable to. 4) What geographical region the advice is applicable to.

The Egyptian government cares nothing for the human beings in Gaza. It is well-known that Sisi's son is making a fortune controlling the fees charged Gazans to transit through Egypt. Your go fund me effort is paying for that man's fourth yacht. This will be extremely interesting to watch.

This is very bad news indeed. The so-called "Protocols" are not genuine. They were produced in the early 20th century in Imperial Russia to direct popular ire towards the Jewish population. www.jta.org/2025/06/10/u...

I'm in trouble, if I expect the Golden Girls to save me. Betty White was the last of them, and she's gone too. I've got to quit watching late night reruns.
