Yes. Full Stop. Next question? www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

BREAKING: A Department of Homeland Security officer shot at an unarmed black man during a traffic stop in DC, and the DC police officer said he was told by superiors not to mention the shooting in his incident report. 1/ www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

The Mamdani Moment open.substack.com/pub/robertre...

Anyone who voted for the craziest version of Mr. Charlie I have seen in my lifetime and who rationalizes that this type of post from a president is anything but proof it's time to invoke the 25th is as psychotic as Donald Trump is.

Why, indeed?

Fired for displaying a pride flag, followed by a citation of the Constitution.

The least surprising news of the day.

We all know why.

Thanks, Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas, who made up a new Second Amendment in 2008. That new Scalia Second Amendment created a fake individual right to own a gun. If we want to fix the US gun culture we must reform the court and overturn the Scalia Second Amendment.

Let’s all take a moment to FORGET this MF…. As he TOLD US TO DO

If you dont want to read about Charlie Kirk, might I suggest:

“The Capitol Mall area gets visited by people from all around the world, and it's a good way to remind them of the land they're standing on and the people who have been here for a thousand years,” said Bruce Savage, chairman of the Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa.

"Everyday People" by Sly & The Family Stone is a powerful anthem of unity, highlighting that despite differences, all people are equal and should coexist peacefully. Its messages challenged prejudice and celebrated inclusivity, as the band was one of the first major integrated rock groups.

Almost 60 years later, this song is so relevant again. youtu.be/gp5JCrSXkJY?...

My dream is for it to happen like it does to vampires. When the leader kicks the bucket, the rest of them burst into flames.

All because a smart, hot, popular black man embarrassed him in public. Jesus.

Pay attention. Your family’s safety is on the line.

These folk are just twisted

The media head that decided that putting a 10 year old baby that had just been through life changing trauma on teevee should be drawn and quartered

Basically

A reminder for future generations….please don’t let this kind of music die out.

RULE ABOUT AMERICAN FLAGS: If you burn the fabric part, you're looking at jail. But it you use the pole part to assault a police officer, you get a presidential pardon, praise, and some cash.

Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500. Remember this before you order your next pumpkin spice latte.

And yet the White House just entered into partnership with Pragwr U, home of the children's videos teaching that slavery wasn't so bad

JUST IN: The Justice Department sues California over truck emissions enforcement, the latest battle between Trump and Gov. Gavin Newsom over whether California's pollution limits.

The best proof that the rule of law in America is, for all intents and purposes, dead and gone.

Portly Pinochet's anti-Black racism and IGNORANCE about Black history and global history knows no bounds. A Liberian who speaks "good English." My God. www.bbc.com/news/article...

This is one of America's saddest days, but it pales in comparison to the days that are coming for so many here.

There is so much more time left in this administration. There are more horribles coming and it seems our representatives are too cowardly to anything about it. Tony

This guy is in very vulnerable district.

Mike Johnson just said if you are for reducing the deficit, this bill is for you. The bill adds 3-4 trillion dollars to the deficit. They just lie.

It appears that the United States is going to celebrate its Semiquincentennial Anniversary by burning itself to the ground and then salting the earth. Glory!

I'm not sure the popcorn production folks can keep up with what is about to ensue. I hope they cut each other's political throats to the white meat.

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode deficits 3) Use the debt as an excuse to demand cuts to vital programs that help millions. 4) Repeat.

You know you've been conditioned to live in a black & white paradigm when you have no ability to distinguish between -Marxism -Communism -Socialism -Democratic Socialism If all those words scream in your brain BAD, but you can't describe their differences, you've been conditioned to feel this way

We forget that it was how America treated free Black folks that paved the way for the 14th Amendment's birthright citizenship. Remembering it helps one understand why renewed attacks on birthright citizenship might not really be *just* about immigrants.

Folks too often forget this part when demanding "religious liberty" accomodations beyond its logical boundary (believe what you want, but you can't make anyone else live as you believe.)

GOP 2021: “The debt is out of control! GOP 2022: “the debt is out of control!” GOP 2023: “the debt is out of control GOP 2024: “the debt is out of control!” GOP 2025: ”let’s raise the debt ceiling $5 trillion!”

SCOTUS' hypocrisy was expected given what the majority's judges had been pre-elevation (Thomas excepted because he hadn't been on the DC Circuit long enough to do shit). What wasn't predictable? SCOTUS willingness to destroy the power of the District courts to stop the Executive's unlawful behavior.

My father was a proud Army veteran and Democrat. He relied upon and appreciated the many services he received through the VA. So I'm glad he is no longer here to see a story like this in the news (which he read every single day, may Daddy RIP): www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

"Flamin' eyes of people fear burnin' into you Many men are missin' much, hatin' what they do Youth and truth are makin' love, dig it for a starter Dyin' young is hard to take, sellin' out is harder" Thank you, Sylvester Stewart, fka Sly Stone. Rest in power. www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOa5...
