We’re doing it to ourselves.

And irl it works more often than you'd think

This is in a strange way reassuring, because the alternative is that half the electorate is evil.

Can you imagine going back to 1776 and telling the Founding Fathers that in 250 years, the King of England would be standing in the United States Capitol lecturing American lawmakers about the importance of democratic norms?

"...I often heard it wryly said that if the 1787 Constitution was so marvellous, why had no other nation ever copied it? Now we know. It is dependent upon the conduct in power of reasonable people, recognising bounds of decency and discretion..." observer.co.uk/news/interna...

Trump "did not create the climate of hate which now pervades the United States, but he has institutionalised it."

Employers keep such a high percentage of the productivity we earn so that many do not even earn a living wage. If you cannot afford to miss work May 1st, you can still participate by not shopping and in other ways. Here is what you can do to help!

A crowd in Buffalo chimed in to sing the Canadian national anthem before an NHL playoff game on Tuesday night, presenting a contrast to ongoing U.S.-Canada tensions over President Trump’s tariffs and threats to Canada’s sovereignty.

Well, Altman did steal a charity so I guess I'll root for Musk, for the legal precedent. But I'm really just here for the "kicking the shit out of each other"

"The president seems intent on having Americans feel shame every time they open their wallet or travel overseas."

No, I do not agree with this opinion and I think it’s very bad that many Americans seem to think (incorrectly) that our privacy is already hopelessly compromised by evil tech companies and the government, and that there’s no point in fighting back.

Camille being a woman over 60, is invisible to Trump. So he didn't even realize she was standing there.

It looks like a store, which, of course, it is

I think Lindsey heard something once and is remembering it backwards: Isn't protecting the nation the No. 1 job of the commander in chief? Not the other way around...

He’s been throwing shade in every speech in the most polite, cheeky way

Weirdo

Performing arts center? Peace institute? Passports? Pshaw theconversation.com/what-was-dam...

The court already said the bunker under this gaudy ballroom could proceed as it *is* a national security issue. It's the tacky thing on top that's a problem. Lindsey, of course, knows this. He just prefers lying.

No, Lindsey. Protecting "the commander in chief" is NOT the No. 1 job of national security And we HAD a secure facility at the White House #ETTD

Washington state health inspectors have tried for months to investigate complaints at the immigrant detention center in Tacoma, to no avail. Now the state is asking a federal judge to force the hand of the facility’s operator. washingtonstatestandard.com/2026/04/28/w...

Mark Carney: "Many of our former strengths, built on our close ties to the US, have become weaknesses. The US has changed. That's their right. And we're responding ... we're deepening our partnerships with our closest allies, including the EU, the Nordic countries, and Australia."

"The valuable evidence that could be contained in Renee and Becca Good’s Honda Pilot needs to be released to those who are working to get to the bottom of what happened on January 7,” family attorney Antonio Romanucci said in a Monday statement to MPR News.

You know what phrase I hate? “Shark-infested waters”. No, you dumb fucks. Sharks LIVE in the water. The waters are human-infested just like every other part of the planet. HUMANS are the problem, not animals.

No way!

Today in History: April 28th 1945: Dictator Benito Mussolini was executed after he was captured while trying to flee Italy.

📌Barack Obama was targeted 11 times in assassination attempts during this two terms. I bet you don't remember any of them because they were handled through proper channels, professionally, and he isn't a whiny bitch.

No, he said it was not his TOP priority. The rest of his quote was, "I've made clear from the very beginning that our top priority is going to be to drive down the high cost of living." Idk if your first language is Russian or what, but your post reads like someone unconcerned with nuance in English

The question he was asked was if a "day one impeachment" was his top priority.

Did MAGA screech about toning down the rhetoric after Donald Trump and JD Vance attacked the pope and then there was a bomb threat at Pope Leo’s brother’s house… Or nah?

If people want impeachment, they need to give Schumer the votes to remove. Otherwise it's a waste of time, and just like with impeachments one and two, he'll claim full exoneration if he's not removed. Unless we get 67 votes in the Senate it's DOA anyway.

"This isn't just something that is happening to the president," Amy Walter says. "He was a target of this attempt, but we have seen in the last year, Capitol Hill police saying more than 15,000 credible reports of violence against members of Congress or their staff." https://to.pbs.org/41ZyWGI

In 1994, a man crashed his small plane into the White House. Clinton did not build a ballroom because of it. In fact he barely mentioned it. And he definitely did not say that no one can criticize him anymore.

𐌁𐌉Ᏽ 𐌕𐌉𐌌𐌉 @OrevaZSN We cannot have sustainable energy because it threatens the oil industry. We cannot have healthcare because it threatens insurance. We cannot have peace because it threatens the weapons industry. Capitalism built a system where doing the right thing is treated like bad business.

“You wouldn’t hate Trump if he was a Democrat” Dude, Donald Trump was a Democrat for most of his life and we hated him so badly he had to switch parties to get supporters.

This is so ridiculous, a ballroom, really?!?! To address gun violence in America!?!? No wonder we’re a global laughingstock!!
