🔥 SPRINGSTEEN: "I’m here to support Stephen Colbert, the first guy who lost his show because a president can't take a joke - and the Ellisons feel they need to kiss his ass… small-minded people with no idea what freedoms of this beautiful country are supposed to be about." 🇺🇸

My theme these days is she’s shaving *much* more fun than he is. Not just living a better life, but actually having more fun. I mean, imagine having that kind of money and using it to make ppl’s lives better! He would never…

You know what they REALLY mean is a Black democrat... Regardless, even southern states are divided. Almost every major city votes D, and they should be represented. These fuckers have no shame

Here is where you can sign the petition to #RecallJeffLandry today 1/2

True, but just TRY to get something like this past the GOP.

Landry budget proposal includes $46 million for immigration detention at Angola The money for the immigration facility comes from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, not state dollars. But it is unclear how it is being spent. A previously reported contract to operate Camp 57, named after…

And in every Democratic midterm ad it goes

i have yet to see a single cis person say something about the fact that the government just designated trans people a terrorist group and threatened to kill all of us.

There's a VERY clear reason everyone wants to name shit after trump when we so rarely do it for living people. He can be bought

This is the longest story I have ever written. It is also the most meaningful. It will go out in The Small Bow's newsletter tomorrow. You can read it here now: www.thesmallbow.com/p/consider-t...

I know ppl love to hate on #snl but I still love it. And I hereby declare that Ashley Padilla is the new Cecily Strong. If you don’t know why then you’re a hater

I’m so pissed the reporter didn’t ask what he meant by “extra rights” It’s plain racist bullshit

Gen X-er here. When the fuck did they measure my sperm count?? Pretty sure I’d remember…

So... representation constitutes "extra rights" Got it

Wow. This NYC pop up is 🔥 The Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Reading Room is open as a public installation displaying all 3.5 million pages of the released and partially redacted Epstein files, printed and bound into 3,437 volumes. This shouldn’t just stay in NYC. Take it on the road.

Without all the makeup and injections of whatever keeps him awake, he'd look just like your doddering grandfather and you'd know he has no business with nuclear codes

Highest court in the land extends women's rights for three days

Here’s how I begin: Gret Stet Senator Jay Morris hails from West Monroe in Louisiana's peckerwood belt. He's a real estate and mortgage lawyer whose current passion is foreclosing on Black political power via gerrymandering.

A gentle reminder that the guy who beat Orban was the “lesser of two evils.” So vote your soul in the primaries, then please, in the name of all that is good and holy, vote for the Democrat in the general.

Adulthood is just cycling between "If I don't say yes to every opportunity, no new opportunities will ever be offered to me" and "Oh no, I have said yes to too many things" over and over until you die.

A lot has happened, but not much has changed.

It's Billy Joel's birthday today, so we are obligated to post this ridiculous piece from our archives: "Did anybody else feel like the entire song was about how the only thing that makes our pathetic lives worth living is listening to him play the piano?"

I admit I can start daydreaming about electing a D who starts taking that smug fascist’s face & name off of everything & hearing the Rs bitch about how much money we’re wasting undoing his waste.

Many years ago I wrote a letter to the paper about why drivers should support more cyclists: more room, more parking, cheaper gas, lower insurance costs, less grouchiness, etc. It’s good for everyone to have more cyclists!

You wouldn’t marry someone who lied to you like this. You wouldn’t be friends with someone who lied to you like this. You wouldn’t do business with someone who lied to you like this. You wouldn’t work for someone who lied to u like this. You’d want nothing to do with someone who lied to u like this.

I weep for what Louisiana could be if white people werent so consumed by hate. None of this makes sense. And it’s hurting everybody in the state.

Some plusses and minuses in this op-ed. I am sympathetic to the critique of the Guardian piece as typical of the helicopter journalism that coincides with Jazzfest. But the study it's based on is real. One could ask why the local press ignored it until the Guardian picked it up. 1/3

Sorry, but I kinda assumed Ted Turner was already dead...

I’m sure he was evil in many ways but I deeply long for the days when billionaires were into baseball and pro wrestling and not publicly doing weird shit with their sperm
