Dutton buys a new house every time the average renter has to move from their rental - almost every year.

Janet Mills was elected the first woman DA in ME history. Elected 1st woman AG in ME. Won election to state House, reelected 3x. Then 1st woman Gov - won by 20 points. Then reelected in 2022 by 13 points. In other words, far more popular in ME than Trump will ever be.

After that plane literally flipped upside down after smashing into the runway and 100% of people survived, I hope every person who ever said “what’s even the point of seatbelts on a plane” feels like a real doof.

A real estate agent requesting a virtual walkthrough of a tenant’s current house as part of their application for another house.

So, a literal concentration camp?

What these nihilistic vandals are doing to dismantle science & medicine—generations of expertise & public service & life improving benefits—is cultural revolution level national self harm. No foreign foe could inflict such brutal damage & senseless suffering on US so fast & effectively & unresisted.

Under oath, Kash Patel said he was unaware of plans to dismiss FBI agents before he was confirmed. Today, whistleblowers revealed Patel was reportedly directing those dismissals. Covertly. Yet another reason he must be rejected.

Recent history suggests that public broadcasters can't deflect the hostility of right-wing parties by appeasement - but they still keep relinquishing their independence in advance anyway.

When you don’t understand how anything works, everything is a conspiracy.

Around 35% of SpaceX’s revenue comes directly from the federal govt. Less than 1% of NPR’s budget comes from the federal govt.

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

If you’re a cop who can’t handle being called stupid and white by a woman fully under your control maybe you need to drop out of the force and find a new career? Okay sweetie pie? Don’t you people hate snowflakes?

Never comply in advance, that’s what fascists want you to do. Stand your ground 💪🏻

This is insanity.

I remember the old days when Fox said it was Biden’s fault.

If you happen to renew your passport successfully and manage to change your gender marker, please for the love of god don't post about it online.

This was projected by Mary Lou Pavlovic on Sunday in Canberra across what is known as the “Big Bunny” - a US built column in the middle of Australia’s Defence precinct looking straight at Parliament and topped by a US eagle - just in case we forget who is really in charge.

Big week for me legally releasing some of the hate in my heart ☺️ www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
