Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

Kirby foresaw everything.
In 1970, Jack created Morgan Edge, a cruel corporate CEO that was now Clark Kent's boss. The ruthless Edge was secretly the head of Intergang.
Jack was interested in organized crime gaining a foothold in corporate America - particularly a giant media conglomerate.

A clearly insane and cognitively diminished President Trump rambled at length about a far-right conspiracy theory in front of the president of South Africa at the White House yesterday. Now here's eight articles about Biden's halting pauses and memory lapses.

Devastating. For our trans siblings, for our children, for everyone.
HOLY SHIT. The ban on any federal funding gender-affirming care includes stripping ACA plans of covering it as the essential care it is.
I have an ACA plan. I live in a blue state, but I am about to lose access to treatments I need.

Congress literally created an Alien Terrorist Removal Court for the expeditious removal of aliens who are designated as terrorists, under a preponderance of evidence standard.
I think problem isn’t the time it would take, but the fact that the government would have to produce actual evidence

See this is what I mean. Mississippi is a state with a 40% Black population. African American candidate Mike Espy garnered nearly 45% of the vote in the 2020 General Election for the U.S. Senate.
Why isn’t there a 10 yr Dem plan for organizing Mississippi? Why concede the state w/a 40% Black pop?

NEW: Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves has declared April 2025 as Confederate Heritage Month.
He did so at the behest of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, a neo-Confederate organization that espouses “Lost Cause” ideology, which whitewashes the role of slavery in the Civil War. 🧵
