A young valedictorian at Clayton High School in North Carolina was dragged off stage and threatened with losing her diploma, all for speaking up for oppressed people around the world. They couldn't even let her finish. This is insane.

This is the highest purpose of the internet

🤣

Imagine if a woman president crashed the economy and started a war with no end in sight, and her biggest, seemingly ONLY concern was building a ballroom and redecorating the White House.

Seems crazy that I am thumbs upping these folks, but took some gumption for them to break ranks, and I love gumption.

Something seems really off here…Has anyone else heard of this?

You can't make this up. The Pentagon / Trump want to populate the WH gladiator fight/UFC crowd w/troops in uniform (no fatties!). And get this — asking for the junior enlisted/junior officers (i.e.,lowest pay grade) to pay their own way to DC for the event. Ticket's free. 🥳 🧾 t2m.co/dL2SeBpq

So the Trump White House is vetting the weight and height of soldiers who will fill seats at his birthday cage match. Do they need to provide a headshot to prove they're from "central casting"?

Wreckage found at the site of a drone strike tonight on an apartment building in Galați, Eastern Romania, which injured several civilians, appears to confirm that the building was indeed struck with a Russian Geran-2/Shahed-136. Original post

Well, this is not good.

What a disgrace. Says it all, really. 😕🇺🇸

GOP Sen. Thom Tillis: “To call Ken Paxton 'ethically challenged' is to call Jeffrey Dahmer suffering from an eating disorder.”

Every state should do this

I get that, but for the folks who wonder why I’m always harping on the far left of the Democratic Party, Talarico now has to answer for a lot of stuff he said to play to that group that is going to hurt him in the general, including a welcome mat at the border.

remember that time Zelensky didn’t wear a tie

Thanks, Vonnegut. 💜

This hideous man, Donald J Trump, has done nothing but divide us and feed on our fears for the past 20+ years, and continues to do so on the day we memorialize our war dead. Shame on him.

Our government telling an adversary to disregard the President's social media posts because they're not real and are intended for promotional purposes and US media consumption, says it all. Holy fuck.

This has to stop.

You don't usually rely on Iran's Fars News Agency for unvarnished truth-telling, but we can make an exception in this case.

Happy late Caturday.

Here’s a thought — Maybe these people don’t deserve to be handsomely rewarded? (From NPR)

I find this incredibly shocking because this kinetic phase of this war did not last long. Hegseth and Cain need to be fired.

Barney Frank lived his truth at a time when doing so cost everything, and he did it anyway. The first sitting congressman to come out as gay, the first to marry his husband. He fought for all of us with humor, ferocity, and brilliance. Rest well, Barney. We carry your courage forward.

Fascinating how the Trump Administration always gets its inspiration from the Nazis...

Oooph. Massie lost by almost 10 pts…

🚨BREAKING: First official photo released of the planned swimming pool at Mar-a-Lago North. “Very classy, very luxurious, the best pool anyone has ever seen. Tremendous water. The Washington Monument? That’s just my new diving board, folks.” ~Donald J. Trump, probably

He should caucus with the dems until the end of the year, and so should Massey whether or not he wins or loses :)

I genuinely struggle to understand what these people think is going on

Trump did not reach a settlement with the government. There was no case to settle. He has not created a slush fund. He has colluded with Todd Blanche to steal money from the US Treasury. This is not a “deal.” This is a crime for which Trump & Blanche must be prosecuted. It ia a crime.

Well let’s test that theory and…… Release the Epstein Files!!!!

Breaking NOTUS: Trump pressed Senate Majority Leader John Thune to fire the Senate parliamentarian after she ruled Republicans could not include funding for the ballroom in a budget bill, two sources familiar with the request told NOTUS.

We have become a ridiculous nation.

Honest question - Do you think Americans really care about what is going on? I am truly doubtful…

Under $184k? You pay 12.4% in Social Security tax. Above that? Exempt. Make $1M? Your effective rate drops to ~2.2%. Billionaires? 0.002%. Lifting the cap funds Social Security for decades. Sen. Patty Murray served a #CupOfJoe with a latte truth to power. ☕️

Trump is now paying these people with your money.
