My 29 year old daughter introduced her boyfriend to me. On paper, he ticks a lot of boxes - well educated, good job, polite, treats her well, etc. But he's a Spurs fan so is destined to a life of misery and I don't want any grandkids to be like that.

www.theguardian.com/politics/202... Wow. Ya think? If people are letting illegal aliens (NOT asylum seekers - I know the difference) work without visa, and those same people can't use government assistance - how does a digital ID stop someone hiring someone without a digital ID, plus they still

Just to note. January 23, 2019 there was a vote to reopen government (HJ RES 28, roll call vote 46) when the govt had been shut down for 30 days. Mike Johnson voted “no” on that. They didn’t seem to mind shutdowns then

we truly live in a golden age for batshit quotes

COLLINS: So you're telling me you're willing to vote no every time? BERNIE SANDERS: Damn right

Mike Johnson cancels votes, locks doors to U.S. House as he has refuses bipartisan negotiations to keep the gov't open

The basic infrastructures that allow women to be participants in public life—birth control & abortion access, no fault divorce, childcare access & affordability, civil rights law in employment and public accommodations, the minimal efforts to mitigate sexual and domestic violence—are all crumbling.

What a line from the Pope! I am so pleased he is carrying on Pope Francis’ advocacy for immigrants.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

EXCLUSIVE: Vulnerable Republican Rob Wittman was caught fundraising at an expensive D.C. restaurant instead of doing his job to stop a government shutdown. He also claimed Republicans were working today, but they weren’t on the floor.

Newsom's Comms team is doing the Lord's work.

They claim that non-human objects have agency (when convenient). ✔️Vaccines cause autism ✔️Tylenol causes damage to pregnant women ✔️Video games radicalize children But do guns harm people and cause mass shootings? ❌ No, of course not, silly. People kill people; guns are objects and cannot act.

House Republicans didn’t even show up for work today, and they’re going to blame Democrats for shutting down the government? Please.

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

👇👇

Sure. Left wing terrorism is at an all time high, going from 3% of domestic terror fatalities to 4%. Right wing terrorism on the other hand has dipped to an all time low of 95% So technically, yeah.

"Dems will get blamed for a shutdown" as opposed to what, all the friendly coverage and positive credit they'd get for caving yet again? This whole premise is built on a delusion about what the alternative is. There's no cowering in the corner and being so inoffensive they won't still attack you.

hey @nytimes.com: there is no counterpoint here. There are no credible legal experts who would EVER say that the US military has any right or authority to blow civilian craft out of the Caribbean and kill their crews from afar without any provocation. There is no other side to this question.

Perfect

I never realized that the end of American democracy would feel so embarrassing.

“There will be no federal takeover of Portland, Oregon.” 🔥 👀 Damn — @bynum.house.gov is. Not. Playing. Around.

Sound Up 🔊 ( ht: @stanrezaee.bsky.social )

David Cross folks.

The opposition to the right at the moment, in any official capacity, looks half assed. The people seem to be amassing but the guys in positions of power are not doing enough. the media is lost to the right, the police lost to the right, the military lost to the right. How can this be challenged now?

Khanna: "We have to understand how abnormal this is. You don't mock someone and put a video out about how they look. You don't ever mock people's ethnicity. How do you negotiate with that? And how have we made this normal?"

Having been to one and seeing the terrifying pictures; I am not sure letting history repeat itself is a good idea. Obviously the understatement of the century.

This is either completely made up or it’s Fetterman. Both equally plausible.

Later, Russian Oligarchs bail him out! www.youtube.com/shorts/nMUsZ...

The More You Know Monday (“This Curious World” by William Ferguson):

Some guy on TikTok is threatening to release the Grindr profile of Mike Johnson. Please human, please don’t let God down. 🙏

God, I hope this is true 🤣 “You have until Wednesday to swear her (Adelita Grijalva) in…or I will release your Grindr profile and your IP address. I bring receipts, bitch!” RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES

It’s official: AIPAC is trying to buy my election to keep me out of Congress. Apparently, I’m a “dangerous detractor”... by believing Palestinians (like myself and my family) deserve basic human rights. But we’re not going to let AIPAC win.

Pritzker: "People of Illinois, we need your help. Get our your cell phones, record and narrate what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know that this is happening and that we won't stand for it."

It certainly appears the United States murdered an innocent fisherman who was a husband and father to four children, claimed he was a "narco-terrorist," posted a video of the execution, and then made jokes about it

One person having the power to upend entire industries and economic sectors on a whim every day that puts companies out of business and workers out of jobs with no legislative input is an autocracy, regardless of whether that person initially acquired power through an election.

www.theguardian.com/politics/liv... Oh my fucking crispy fried christ. If you support policies of racist people, you support and empower racists. Which means either you're a racist or you totally accept racism How is this hard? Are people supporting fascism because they like the fucking UNIFORMS?

He wants to dictate what the press can say. What a university can teach. Whom a company can employ. And to whom the law shall apply. He who wants all this is not a president, But strives to be a dictator. And all who succumb are not citizens, But subjects.

79. American citizen.
