The top word is English followed by how it is written in the Cherokee language followed by how it is spelled in English then how to pronounce it phonetically.

Apparently our electricity bills are going through the roof and this is partly related to data centers that hog huge amounts of electricity to generate information. I, for one, feel hopping mad about this. The companies that are using the data centers should bear the cost.

Interesting that so many Republicans ditch the wives who got them to their position for a more pliable/mail order wife/beard. Sometimes they get a surprise, and the exes, with good representation, do quite nicely without them.

Reminder that women are still bleeding out and dying in hospital parking lots in Red states. It's old news though. If you see one, offer them some comfort in their final hours.

It's a waste of time to argue with simpletons who have nothing but Trump talking points. Just saying... There's really no hope for them at this point.

Why not just release the Epstein files without redactions?
I mean, it’s not like the President will ever suffer any consequences anyway.

If ever there was a headline that sums up the disgusting, genocidal hatred that is the Israeli regime, it's this.
Imagine this headline but it said "just for Jews" or "just for black people" or "just for women".
They are Nazi's. And they're planning death camps.

The Trump regime keeps murdering people through it's terrorist arm, ICE, and then they block investigations. Criminals should not be able to block their own investigations like felon Trump did when he fired his own investigators.

Federal immigration agents keep shooting at drivers. We tracked 15 cases since July.
After each shooting, federal agencies claimed the drivers tried to ram agents with their vehicles. But the claim often falls apart under scrutiny.
