Do not let anyone play games with you.

AOC: It is almost unthinkable why Senate Democrats would vote to to hand the few pieces of leverage that we have away for free when we've been sent here to protect social security, protect medicaid, and protect medicare.

OMFG. Collins is the smartest, coolest, cut your heart out and make you thank her for it journalist in the business.
Collins: Is there a tangible concession in your view?
Davidson: Yeah, absolutely. It’s a commitment from Trudeau to help with fentanyl
Collins: He announced that plan six weeks ago.
Davidson: Well, at least he's reiterated it

I think every response, from every politician, judge, administrator, lawyer, whatever, to Trump should start with "Fuck you." "Fuck you I'm not reporting immigrants." "Fuck you you're not firing IGs." "Fuck you RFKJr. is not heading DOH." "Fuck you and the Tesla you rode in on. "

Yes, removing DEI policies is abominable, misogynist, and racist.
ALSO: You do not need an official policy to keep seeking out and including gifted, diverse talent in your organization.
When they show us who THEY are, remember who YOU are.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.
With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.
You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

That's not a mission. There's no value statement there. "Riveting storytelling" sounds like the mantra of a movie studio.
"For all of America"*
*does not include the subscribers we keep pissing off

The Washington Post began trying out a new mission statement this week: “Riveting Storytelling for All of America.” It comes amid turmoil in the newsroom.

So hear me out: If Trump thinks he can issue an executive order voiding the birthright citizenship provision of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, Biden can very fucking well order the ratified 28th Amendment to be published.

The worst character in the entire MCU is The Watcher. Useless, petulant, effete. Omniscient, powerful, capable of doing great good, but preciously "above" the repercussions of the tragedies he obsessively studies. NO ONE LIKES the Watcher.
He's the giant bald political pundit of the MCU.

While I'm thrilled by how many beautiful young women (I have to assume) from all over the world appear to want to chat with this humble happy husband here on Bluesky, I do have an allergy to catfish, so blockety block block.

Gaetz is toast. But Trump, who thought THIS raping, toking, lying D-Bag was Attorney General material, still needs to be leashed for the next four years. Hold on tight, Dems. It's going to be a bumpy ride. www.npr.org/2024/12/23/n...
