Emerging from the darkness of this era will require us to acknowledge that the previous status quo, including many institutions that may have served us well in another era, have been failing for my entire lifetime.

Yes, we indeed have a serious problem.

Cursing is rarely a symbol of low class. It's often a mark of high authenticity. Evidence: Swearing predicts higher rates of honesty and integrity. It signals a willingness to prize candor over courtesy. A little profanity can show that you're being real and you do give a damn.

When the Nuremberg trials begin for the MAGA and ICE orcs it’s going to be very difficult to fill out the jury survey without writing in “I’m generally opposed to the death penalty but terrorists, especially domestic terrorists, deserve the maximum sentence possible.”

RFK Jr on Tylenol and autism: "It is not proof. We're doing the studies to make the proof."

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Let’s be clear: Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans forced a government shutdown tonight. Rather than address the health care crisis that they created just earlier this year, they refuse to come to the table and do their jobs. What happened to the art of the deal?

This is very, very bad.

Yup..... That's what it feels like

Oof, some days I can't even manage this

So Tyler Robinson, Charlie Kirk’s killer, is neither a Democrat, nor transgender, nor an immigrant, but instead a 22-year-old white guy from a Republican family in Utah who loves guns and wore a Donald Trump costume on Halloween. — Did I get that right?

Pretty clear that a lot of people jumped the gun on the motive behind Kirk’s assassination. The shooter: 1. Grew up in a Republican family 2. Donated to Donald Trump 3. Loved guns 4. Was steeped in Groyper culture This isn’t a simple “raging leftist hated Kirk” scenario.

He was white. He was Christian. He was from a conservative law enforcement family. He was raised with guns. IT IS TIME FOR THE VIOLENT RHETORIC AND THREATS OF FUTURE VIOLENCE TO END.

The person arrested in connection with the fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk has been identified as 22-year-old Tyler Robinson.

JUST IN: Inflation accelerated in August as Americans paid more for gasoline and groceries. Over the last 12 months, consumer prices have risen 2.9%.

.... I mean ..... How bad could it be?

Let’s make one thing clear from the start: Charlie Kirk was the victim of a shooting in a country where he, along with other right-wing extremist influencers, have been inciting violence for years. — Kirk is neither a martyr nor a hero, he is a cause.

Poland invoked Article 4 of NATO’s treaty on Wednesday after the alliance’s fighter jets shot down Russian drones that entered its airspace. Article 4 allows member states to start a formal discussion within the alliance about threats to their security. Here's what to know.

also the nation not completely wiping the confederacy from existence and instead trying to make nice and let them keep some pride. Shoulda ground that shit into the earth, salted it and then rinsed it with the blood of traitors

Several anti-ICE protestors on the Ohio-Kentucky border. This is how the police dealt with them. Literally beat the hell out of them. This is Trump's police state America, coming to a protest near you.

Kennedy’s the fifth dentist in those commercials where it’s like “four out of five dentists say you should brush your teeth” and if they cut to the fifth dentist it’d be RFK Jr, tweaking out on Zyn patches and roadkill, licking his rotten teeth and telling you “toothpaste is how they autism you.”

As a gen x gal..... No lies detected.
