So, to all the people on here expressing that they will never vote for Gov. Gavin Newsom in 2028... are you guys getting behind Gov. Wes Moore by any chance? Telling the Dems who you won't vote for will work better if you give them examples of the kind of politicians you will vote for.

Keeping search histories private is a top Mike Johnson priority, after all.

Well, if we start investigating and kicking out all the criminal billionaire owners, there'd only be the Green Bay Packers left.
The NFL doesn't seem to be inclined to investigate or discipline Giants co-owner Steve Tisch, based on his emails with Jeffrey Epstein. The language of the Personal Conduct Policy would seem to justify it, if the league truly wanted to do it.
Will the NFL take action against Steve Tisch?
Nowadays, many approach a particularly troubling P.R. predicament by waiting.

Speaking of snorting cocaine in bathrooms... Melania is zooming in this photo and you cannot convince me otherwise.

Uh-oh. I read the whole thread and agreed with every statement of principle and every strategic vote. I'm getting more radical and more pragmatic as I age.
Several people have asked me to make an endorsement in the Illinois Senate Democratic primary race. I won't lie, it still feels very weird that anyone cares what I think. And tbh I ordinarily wouldn't say anything until closer to election day, but I feel this is a unique circumstance.

Even in the recreational drug community this is weird. Sit Riker-style on the toilet seat backwards and snort cocaine off the lid of the toilet tank, maybe. But off the toilet seat, like, kneeling on the floor? Bad form. You're a Kennedy, ffs. Carry a coke spoon or a pocket mirror. Key bump, man!
A prominent healthcare advocacy group is calling for the US health secretary, Robert F Kennedy Jr, to step down from his post after he downplayed Covid risks by saying: “I’m not scared of a germ. I used to snort cocaine off of toilet seats.”

For decades, millions of us who consume a now-legal herb have been actively discriminated against in hiring via a test of our urine. I want this outcome for everyone who's ever worked in any capacity for ICE. Not a urine test, but a public database, and the legal right to discriminate against them.
On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.

The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.

But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

Fetterman!

At this point we would have been better off if Dr Oz had won that Pennsylvania seat.

Yeah, but is any consideration given to whether or not the people addressed by it actually favor the language politics? Yes, we should be inclusive of trans people, but when 75% of Latiné people are rejecting Latinx as a descriptor for themselves doesn't that mean anything?

Thrilled that my new T-Mobile account comes with free Netflix so I can catch up on all the new Black Mirror episodes I missed. Last night finally saw the sequel to my favorite one, USS Callister. Ladylove and I are now crushing on Cristin Milioti. ❤️ www.imdb.com/name/nm21296...

If this had happened to my 7-year-old Hispanic granddaughter, it would be the origin story for the oldest, clumsiest vengeance vigilante superhero ever. The Pothead Punisher!
CBP didn’t give her or anyone any water; she asked 3 times accg to other reports. CBP killed a 7yr old.

Interesting in the sense that the right's notorious propagandist—the thinker who turned beloved American concepts of diversity, equity, and inclusion into swears—is trying to divert revelations proving an The Epstein Class conspiracy into mere indictments of Epstein as a modern Jay Gatsby.
How interesting.. This was before this last Epstein dump. The last Epstein data dump, talks about cannibalism, aka "jerky".
They knew ..

I always learn so much every February about the intricacies of living Black in America that (of course) I could never have imagined.

Reading this linked thread reminds me how badly this country needs Post Office banking.
Happy #BlackHistoryMonth !

Feb 12: Shoplifting / Being bad customers

It seems like Black people shoplift a lot. Is that true? And completely unrelated, why are Black people so eager to adopt new technologies? Early adopters are usually rich, and y'all are not? What gives?
