First time they're looking to roll back the rights of white men. They already did this to women a few years ago and Black people with Dred Scot.
Breaking: The Supreme Court is now officially considering taking up a case overturning same-sex marriage.
This is the first time in history the court has considered rolling back this right.

Samsung stole the comma from my phone keyboard, so now I'm using Gboard. Why do they think I need a question mark more than a comma? Has everyone else stopped using commas? Am I old?

OK, so our "Secretary of War" currently has two big priorities: (1) murdering innocent fishermen in the Caribbean, and (2) endangering the lives of commuters in Southern California.
Perhaps, we are seeing one of the downsides to having a drunk TV talk show chatterbox running our military.

double standard. back in the day, we called it IOKIYAR: It's OK If You're A Republican
If Democrats were in control of the House, the Senate, and the White House, and the government got shut down, then the blame should rest completely on their shoulders.
But that's not what's happening.
trump refused to meet with Dems, Republicans control all of the houses. It's on THEM.

Whether they're blaming vaccines and Tylenol, or selling dubious "remedies," what they're really doing is promoting the perception that families (and especially mothers) can prevent and treat Autism. And thus also the perception that people with Autism and their families don't need social support.

For everyone saying this is an impeachable offense and worse than Watergate:
Of course it is. But that doesn’t matter in the slightest, because this GOP Congress has completely abdicated their duty and will never do anything to hold him accountable.

Facts don't matter to Fascists. The actual facts surrounding the killing of Charlie Kirk will be replaced by whatever Trump tells his base they are. From there Trump will use his fabricated facts to demand actions targeting his political opponents. That is how fascist movements have always worked

One of the most remarkable things of the last 9 months is how many Americans seem to believe the President is all powerful and Congress has no say.
Actually Congress has been ineffective by choice. It has immense power if it had the courage to use it.

The move, says one agency worker, will “severely hamper our ability to reach vulnerable people.”

This is very much America. This directly echoes the hunting of runaway slaves and the people who helped them.
This is the Christianity of the Inquisition and the expulsion of Jews and Moors.

You can't call immigrants lazy moochers looking for government handouts and then round them up at Home Depots where you know they are looking for work.
You can't say immigrants don't follow the rules and then round them up in courthouses where they are following the rules.
Get your lies straight.

Unbelievably horrified by this attack in Boulder. We don’t know the full story of the attacker, but no matter what it is, let me be clear: Senseless, antisemitic attacks do not help Palestinians, Jews, or Israelis.
Committing terror attacks against people standing for hostages is disgusting.
