is it good when a government official declares a religious affiliation to be fake because he doesn't like it
Hegseth: "We don't need to be a military of beardos anymore. Do you know how many troops claim to be Nordic Pagan? No, suddenly it's become this real fake religious affiliation inside the Pentagon where troops came to be Nordic Pagan so they can grow a beard and nobody challenges them on it."

To be fair, MAGA is an example of overt white supremacy.
Indiana University removed a Lecturer from her "Diversity, Human Rights, and Social Justice" course after a student filed a complaint about a graphic the instructor showed in class, which included "Make America Great Again" as an example of "Covert White Supremacy."

Unlike you, I can read and that’s why I know what the constitution says.
Trump on Ilhan Omar: "I look at somebody who comes from Somalia...and she comes in and tells us how to run our country. 'The Constitution says this, the Constitution says that.' The whole thing is crazy."

Dear @yahoosports.bsky.social,

I just logged into the app and saw one of the top sports stories was from the WWE.

And I was wondering how I can get in the top sports stories list?

I just beat a giant teddy bear with a mega choke slam.

I am now the intergalactic champion!

Please post about it.

When I a kid we got together and we decided we would tidy up people’s yards on our street. The first door we knocked on we forgot to talk about how much we’d get paid.

And after two hours of work by 4 kids we knocked asking to be paid.

We each got a penny.

But that’s still more than Schumer got.

As far as I know not a single sitting Dem senator has demanded Schumer’s resignation as leader.

Not one.

This came past my feed.

And the only thing I can attribute this to is that Carney and Co think Canadians are idiots.

Because unless the ‘competitive’ part is a reference to which country can cause the greatest amount of damage to the environment on a per capita basis, this line is pure BS.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

We tried to show them after the last surrender. There's no sense in trying to convince them anymore. Primaries are the only path to a fighting opposition party now.

I am sick of all the political fighting on here, so today's Low Quality Ad is for this pin that will please both sides of the aisle. Liberals will like it because it aligns with their values, and Republicans will like it because they're too dumb to realize it's mocking theirs.
