I disagree

Every Gen X knows this because of The Black Stallion movie. which is a great movie, you should watch it

Last year I bought a Jackery solar generator, a pretty large purchase for me. Then I started getting plastered with Jackery ads? like... my solar generator needs are pretty well covered for the next ten years, not sure what you're doing here

Don't air traffic controllers HAVE to retire at a certain age, because the job is so stressful? Didn't we all learn in Breaking Bad why stressed-out air traffic controllers are a terrible, terrible idea?

I'm always working through this with kids: "when you flip out, that lets the other person know that they got to you. If you ignore them, it's like they are beneath your notice, not significant. You smacked them, and who got in trouble? That's right, you did. Not them." this is like 80% of my job

If this doesn't make it obvious the government shutdown is the start of their deliberate genocide attempt, I don't know what will

My state sent full benefits to everyone Friday, which was a huge relief for families. Is he seriously proposing that states somehow take back those payments? How would that even work? everyone immediately went to the grocery store!

For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in.” – Matthew 25:35

Timeline cleanse.. These guys are pretty fucking amazing. 😳😂 youtube.com/shorts/UiRGZ...

A family was abducted by armed militia in Alamo, TX. ICE denied that the armed men seen in this video kidnapping members of the Caballero family are not ICE. The children have no idea where their parents were taken after this video was filmed. 11/7/2025 Federal authorities said they are not ICE

The memorial would be placed outside of the cemetery, since only the American Battle Monuments Commission can take decisions about the cemetery itself. The members of parliament also want to know if the government can help bring the panels back, calling their removal “indecent” and “unacceptable”.

The original "Black Panthers” were the Black American soldiers of the 761st Tank Battalion, a segregated U.S. Army unit that fought in World War II. Formed in 1942, they were one of the first all-Black armored units to see combat, earning a reputation for their bravery and (cont)

Just saw that an Indiana lectures was removed from teaching a “Diversity, Human Rights and Social Justice” class for teaching THIS graphic.

Here are the two plaques that were removed. I am so ashamed of our racist current administration.

Eleven of the parties in the provincial parliament of Limburg have now requested the Limburg government to look into the possibility of creating a (temporary) memorial for our Black American liberators in cooperation with Eijsden-Margraten (where the cemetery is located). www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2025/...

When I lived in SC, I had a low-wage job, paid very little in tax, no health care and bought almost nothing. Now in a blue state, I have a good job, pay 25% in tax, and can afford to spend money in my town incl on health care. That is one reason why the blue state has a better economy

I can't believe it, but this is STILL UP

When I ask kids what they wish was different about their lives, they often tell me they wish their parents weren't on their phones all the time

Any kind of pushback on the ongoing Gilded Age reboot is called "class warfare"

This is kind of funny. What does he think the average age of purchasing a home is? I am 56, can I get a 50 year mortgage?

None of this makes any sense whatsoever. He's the most anti-woke, trmp-admiring, progressive Democrat?

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

"When I picked up my granddaughter from the federal agents, she had a dirty diaper, a bruise on her face, and was developing a rash. She was exhausted and cried… My heart aches knowing this could happen to others, to my kids, or even me, despite being U.S. citizens.”

incredible that these guys have a massive hard on for a country that, if it were a state, would rank behind kansas in terms of wealth and which would be a total backwater if it weren’t economically integrated with more functional countries

Remember Rev. David Black, the Chicago pastor who was shot in the head with pepper balls? If you haven't heard him speak yet, listen to this. To ICE: "You can repent"

I have a deer-head chihuahua who looks *exactly* like a miniature deer, I need to find her some antlers

Are there any red cities? I tried to look it up but I never heard of any of the "cities" mentioned

On top of refusing to fully fund SNAP during the shutdown, the Trump regime has: -Cut $1 billion from USDA programs supporting food banks -Enacted tariffs that have caused food prices to rise -Made the largest cut to SNAP in history -Canceled the annual food security survey Shameful.

Joe is clearly not buying what Musk is selling here. And "charismatic swindler" is what Musk thinks about himself, though he actually has anti-charisma

I love to translate what others are saying about US: "The moment when he realized that what he felt under his foot was an anti-tank mine that he had buried there himself." Hell yeah

That was the week I lost ALL faith in the Dems. I remember screaming at my TV, "Fight back! WHY won't you FIGHT?" I really believed that Gore would take action on climate change, which I can see now, might not have happened. But 9/11 most definitely would not have happened

hey remember when the Supreme Court overturned this election on partisan lines and also ruled that it didn’t count as precedent against them in the future and here it is 25 years later and people are still going around talking about “American democracy” like it’s a real thing?

Oh, this is wild. DOJ went to SCOTUS *before* we got the First Circuit's administrative stay denial. (We know this because DOJ just filed a letter at SCOTUS about the admin stay denial.) So, DOJ went to SCOTUS b/c the First Circuit did not meet its less-than-seven-hour "deadline" for a ruling.

Sometimes I get this weird impulse to make a report to Adult Protective Services. I am, after all, a mandatory reporter

What the fuck? WHY is this happening?

Was discussing this with a coworker today, in the context of our many, many very lonely young people. We need to provide something better than chatbots for them, or more of this will happen

after trump won last year, there was this idea that now we needed to listen to conservative voices. with zohran’s win (and dem/progressive wins across the country) it seems time to demand that same deference to lefty media.

it does seem like there’s a major—though potentially fleeting—opportunity to invest in left-wing media. more than a million people in the most populous city in america just enthusiastically elected a democratic socialist and the world is watching. putting $$ towards left media rn is good business.

SUPER hard day in the therapy mines today, y'all. what in the world is happening out there. anyway here is a giant prehistoric otter, not so cute back then, were they

Not only did Oregonian beneficiaries get their SNAP, they all got the entire amount TODAY so nobody would have to worry about whether or not it would arrive on the scheduled date www.opb.org/article/2025...

This is one of many reasons I think Pritzker should be POTUS: the 1st item on the agenda of the next American President HAS to be wrangling out-of-control fascist billionaires into submission before the rule of law. History suggests that only one of their own can do it; otherwise, bloody revolution.

The airline cancellations are going to cause a riot. The dude from the Real World is about to see what happens when constituents stop being polite and starting getting real. 🤣

The man who has caused this will now be a trillionaire. 600.000 deaths, two thirds of them children.
