Rob Reiner either made your favorite movie, or made somebody you know’s favorite movie. If you’re a Californian, he’s also part of the reason you or your friends can get married. He has changed more lives for the better than this asshole commenting on him ever did.

Instead of taxing the wealthy the corporate Chicago Alders have decided to:
-tax alcohol
-tax security alarms
-tax ride shares
-tax grocery bags
-making our city less beautiful with ads everywhere
-outsourcing debt collection
In short tax workers instead of taxing the rich

If the Chicago ruling class, aka Michael Sacks, is spending big money to try convince the working class that paying more in fees and taxes is “beneficial” and a “shared sacrifice” then that should tell you all that you need to know. The choice is simple in Chicago-tax the rich.

It's been almost three weeks now and they still haven't released the Epstein files because withholding exculpatory evidence is clearly what you do when you're "innocent."

1859: Abolitionist John Brown is the 1st American executed for treason. His crime? Freeing the enslaved

And the 2nd? Aaron Dwight Stevens, 29yo. Served Brown during the attempted slave revolt at Harpers Ferry, VA

A stark reminder that legality is not always a measure of justice, but power.

Corporate Dem Rep Henry Cuellar & his wife were indicted in March 2024 for accepting hundreds of thousands in foreign bribes.

Trump just pardoned them.

Hakeem Jeffries is praising Trump’s decision as “exactly the right outcome” & praising Cuellar as “a beloved member of the House.”

Ridiculous.😐

We really don't talk enough about how fundamentally broken the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, and the entire "war on terror" made American brains. Every administration has pretty much said they can kill whoever they deem is a terrorist, and that whoever they say is a terrorist is one.
Batya might be just fine with a dudetrustme basis for a terrorist designation, but Americans with a functioning moral compass actually expect a plausible public rationale for who is to be treated as a terrorist in our name.
