there's a moment in PARADISE LOST where Satan arrives in Eden and realizes Hell isn't a place; it's a thing he carries within him and it'll follow him wherever he goes. and i think about that when i see these awful rich men whose monstrous wealth has enriched them not at all

While we're at it, why do we pay for a fire department when most houses don't even burn down.

Truth. Yet Schumer pledges: "We will keep fighting." No.
We fought and won battles for them on Tuesday, only to be betrayed on Sunday.
We the people (and some of us a lot more than others) are tired of being betrayed by corporations, media, and the representatives who don't represent us.

Democrats have been fighting for months to address America's healthcare crisis
For the millions who will lose coverage
For people with cancer who won't get the care they need
For working families who can't afford to pay $25K more a year for healthcare

It doesn't actually matter if Chuck Schumer votes for this or not.
If he can't keep his caucus unified to protect healthcare for over 10 million Americans, he should resign as leader.

I just can’t even with these effing assholes.
Any food which has gotten to poor families the states must send agents to reclaim the food before it is eaten or face new federal penalties
“.. The Agriculture Department issued the command in a late-night Saturday memo .. That guidance threatened to impose financial penalties on states that did not “comply” quickly with the government’s new orders.”

The 'lady' in 'ladybugs' refers to the Virgin Mary.
First of all, there are over 5,000 varieties of ladybugs.
However, the first type of these beetles to be called a 'ladybug' had 7 spots which were thought to symbolize the 7 sorrows she suffered.

One healthy step ahead for society would be for many to stop pretending they don't watch porn, so thus we can treat sex work like the real job it actually is.
And I'd place any bet those who condemn porn are its most frequent users.

“woke” is when you acknowledge that black people have contributed to the united states
Two panels commemorating the contribution of Black American soldiers towards the liberation of the Netherlands in World War Two have been quietly removed from a cemetery in Limburg. It follows a complaint by right-wing think tank The Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission.

In the nothing to see here category, it turns out that donors to the construction of Trumps "big beautiful ballroom" have $279 billion in government contracts. And more than 50% are facing, or have recently faced federal enforcement actions. But all this is just normal, right?

Two, we get it: you heard someone say FAFO and thought it was cool. It is not actually cool. Maybe you should say we will get 67 drones or something?
