Do NOT like that Fetterman did this, but DO like that it makes Netanyahu look like a midget.

Vaccines are genuine bona fide miracles, and destroying a miracle is a grave sin, yet that is what our country is dead set on doing.

How a photo sent a reporter on a quest to find a complicated love story in Baltimore.

I detest when polls are phrased to dupe people.
Specifically, asking people “do you support voter ID requirements to show your drivers license as proof of citizenship” is a DECEPTIVE QUESTION.
Because a drivers license is NOT proof of citizenship.

Lukewarm pablum about kitchen-table reforms offends no one, and tests really well in polls. But chase those polls too hard and you become the Lukewarm Kitchen-Table Pablum Party that’s impossible to love and easy to hate.

Getting into theological debates with Pope Leo is not going to end well for U.S. republicans.
And so I very much hope that they keep engaging like this🙂

Q: Pope Leo cited Matthew 25:35 to critique Donald Trump's mass deportation agenda. How would you respond to Pope Leo in scripture?
MIKE JOHNSON: Sovereign borders are biblical and right and just. It's not because we hate the people on the outside. It's because we love the people on the inside.

It's normal to think that Scarlett Johansson was very pretty when she was 16
Not only does that not make it okay for a significantly older person to pursue a relationship with her, it doesn't even *relate* to making that okay
Not everyone who's physically attractive to you is FOR YOU

It is not an exaggeration to say that the U.S. has not had a truly Democratic president since Carter.
Clinton, Obama, and Biden were DINOs, democrats in name only.

As @attackerman.bsky.social points out today we shouldn’t lose sight of the way Democratic administrations allowed for the present crisis.

Stephen Miller made the same claims and this would be an *excellent* time for mainstream folks (papers, celebs, athletes) and Dems to demand his resignation as well. So consistently and loudly that the WH is forced to respond. Make him their liability.

This country is in crisis because of its reckless and deranged leadership, something a majority of Americans are coming to understand. That is worth stating plainly and clearly in an editorial. It does not require both-sides-ism, false equivalence, blame-shifting, or rhetorical ass-covering. x

TODAY IN MINNESOTA: Hundreds of thousands marched through Minneapolis in -10°F, shutting down the city to demand ICE the fuck out of the Twin Cities. People risked frostbite just to make their point. The entire country should be ashamed if they don’t follow.

People love to say “the Black Lives Matter protests of 2020 moved the cultural needle back to Trump” while seemingly oblivious to the fact that the Black Lives Matter protests of 2020 took place while Trump was in power and immediately proceeded an election that he lost.

It’s clear as day for all to see that the institutional Democrats are losers with a losing strategy and that fighting back is not only morally and politically correct, but will win. You do not need to play along with losers who have been steeped in learned helplessness so long it feels like wisdom.
