One reason I can't get exorcised about the defunding of PBS is because it would take 4 rich Liberals 6 months to raise enough to cover the funding cut. They should do that. Yes I subscribe already but Liberal elites should fucking make themselves useful.

Wow! France gifted her to us, and now they’ve captured what so many Americans are feeling on Independence Day. The values the Statue of Liberty stood for are no more.

Since the Trump regime is now a danger to our community it may be better to counsel our most vulnerable accordingly using help lines we fund and control ourselves.

Surprised there are so few members of the SBC. Adult gay men, lesbians and bisexuals in the US (18 M) exceeds the 12 M SBC members. While 65 to 70% of nation approves of marriage equality.

Imagine the reaction if any other administration failed to prosecute a “terrorist” and deported him instead. It’s almost like she doesn’t have the evidence to match her rhetoric, again.

It was a 49% to 48% election.

Fascism won by a hair.

And it took Russian and MAGA bomb threats, a hoax regarding battleground-state police raids, an illegal Musk-funded lottery, $600M given to Trump by just 15 people, Netanyahu meddling in our politics, and Democrats staying home for it to happen.
