450 down, 1550 to go.
Right. 1500 for rent and another 500 9n groceries because I'm feeding/supplying three people full time now.

And it's damn near january, so. 12 days to get it together.

This really is the culmination of the unitary executive theory — the entire cabinet must profess servile fealty to the personality of one man & forswear any notion that their office entails responsibilities to the American people or concern for the public good beyond servicing his whims

I don't think most Americans have any idea how dangerous it is for a president to declare an entire ethnic group to be "garbage." This is how the worst atrocities in human history have begun.

In case of racist uncles or dead moms or someone saying "only two genders" or your gifts didn't arrive on time or you have a tummy ache or this day is just awkward and you wish it was over:

Arlo loves you as you are. You can be okay anyway and it's okay to not be okay. Happy Thursday!

Chief Justice John Roberts has led the Supreme Court for 20 years now.

In that time, his Republican-appointed majority has completely transformed America and its politics, with many of its most destructive opinions written by Roberts himself.
Taking stock of the Roberts court at 20—and the shadowy forces that built it
"Roberts will go down in history as the most destructive chief justice."

Every time billionaires say they’re gonna leave if you raise their taxes, outlets like the Times credulously regurgitate the propaganda. Meanwhile they don’t move cause these guys WANT to live in California and Manhattan and not Podunk and Bumfuck where the taxes are nonexistent.

There appears to be a life stage where all the musicians and writers and artists you looked to to help you form a worldview start dying off, and it’s a bit alarming, actually.

Don’t most peace plans feature regular airstrikes? 🤔
NBC News actually published this: "While Trump’s peace plan appears to be holding, albeit with regular Israeli airstrikes, the crisis endures."

Just imagine NBC framing it this way if Hamas engaged in "regular strikes against Israel?"

This is how legacy media normalizes genocide & white supremacy.
