Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

‘Morning…Mourning 🌺💔💙🇺🇸🇺🇸💔

The fact we have secret police whisking people off the streets doesn’t get enough attention. It ain’t normal and we’re further down the road to authoritarianism than you think.

@usc1620.bsky.social Happy Birthday #onebeerfriday

Who did this? 😂

On April 18, the Old North Church—where two lanterns once sparked the American revolution—will ring its bells for democracy. I hope houses of worship across the country will join them in this nationwide call to protect our freedom. Learn how your congregation can take part.

This is really unfair to everyone who just voted for him for the racism.

This is why I watch European news. They don't both sides things.

If you aren’t watching SNL live this week you just missed the crowd going off script in the funniest way possible during an Ego bit on Weekend Update, I am crying

It's time we take the fight to the architects of #Project2025. The Heritage Foundation 214 Massachusetts Avenue NE Washington, D.C It's OUR country. Our DEMOCRACY. AND WE WILL FIGHT FOR IT. So NO, Kevin, we're not afraid of you. But you and your henchmen most certainly should be terrified of us.

SNL on the charges against Russell Brand

Colin Jost: "Money is leaving the stock market faster than Morgan Wallen at Goodnights." #SNL

It’s weird how extra costs trickle down to consumers but extra profits don’t. What’s that all about

“What can you say? All these people …maybe also should have realized it was risky to put someone whose companies have filed for bankruptcy six times—and who was in fact convicted of fraud during the presidential campaign—in charge of managing the world’s largest economy.”

The richest man in the world spent more money than most of us will see in our lifetimes to lose a state Supreme Court race by 10 points. And the fact his $25 million was a drop in the bucket compared to what he's spent on other elections is exactly why we must overturn Citizens United.

If masks are gonna be banned at college protests then ICE agents shouldn't get to hide behind them either.

Stansbury has held this man's feet to the fire!! So glad she did!!

🔑 under-discussed point — why they were on signal:

When I was in the USAF and had a TS Clearance I almost went to prison for 5 years for being a threat to national security because I was gay. Didn't disclose secrets, didn't do anything. Just EXISTED. Yet these fools just breached our national security and it's "just another day at the office."

BENNET: Did you know that the president's Middle East adviser was in Moscow on this thread while you were as director of the CIA participating in this thread? Were you aware of that?! RATCLIFFE: I'm not aware of that BENNET: It's am embarrassment

Circling back on this…

From an operational security perspective, this is the highest level of fuckup imaginable. These people cannot keep America safe.

If someone was to tell me an asteroid that was about to hit the Earth was large enough to cause a mass extinction of all life, I'd say about frigging time!

Make sure everyone in Wisconsin sees this

Stewart-Cousins: My father had Social Security in the amount of $300. Like Lutnick said, he would not have called if he did not get the Social Security check. He had dementia. But the people who take care of him would have called because it made the difference of him keeping a roof over his head

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

📸 No one follows more etiquette rules than the Royal Family—but notice how King Charles didn’t make any smart-ass or demeaning comments about Zelensky’s attire today. Why? Because respect isn’t about clothes—it’s about character. And that’s something money can’t buy.
