I am begging America to not be stupid enough to embrace a racist and an antisemite because Donald Trump thinks she's a meanie. Just grab some popcorn and watch the Nazis fight.

is this real or are my intrusive thoughts back
The important thing is not whether the Trump performing sexual favors for Bill Clinton thing is true. The important thing is that we all pretend it’s true, and that someone asks Trump about it every day.

I'm sorry, but being cancelled for getting close to neo-Nazis isn't woke, it's just a sign of how unwoke we've all become that the Overton Window has shifted so far that it can go this far before anyone faces consequences for bigotry.

Hi all!

I know I bumped this up previously but if you’re able and willing, Emmy was amazing (I’ve never had a tarot reading done before and you take whatever you want from it), but it is helping the community too! 💚🍑

I wrote about why you absolutely do not have to hand it to Marjorie Taylor Greene, and posed a few basic questions that her interlocutors ought to be asking her, like: who won the 2020 election?
Four Simple Questions for Marjorie Taylor Greene
A few recent breaks with her party do not negate a lifetime of conspiracies.

I find the phrase “makes history” nonsensical. Have you seen the stuff historians study? Just dropping an old piece of farm equipment down a well or accidentally freezing to death in a glacier gives you a good shot at the history books

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric
JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

Worth noting that some in the US explicitly blamed job and housing shortages at the time on Jewish refugees, despite how few were permitted to enter the US.

JD Vance owns a company that buys American real estate and sells it to foreign investors. They specifically target Americans in crisis to buy their property for less than it is worth.

“ended up”?!?!!!??

A powerful man groomed and raped a young girl BECAUSE she was vulnerable. BECAUSE institutions protect men like him over girls like her.

This is beyond shameful to post. Disgusting.
A teenager in Florida with a homeless parent wanted money for braces and ended up having sex for money with powerful men, setting off a chain of events that would have a dramatic impact on her life and help upend the political career of Representative Matt Gaetz. nyti.ms/49PSkL9

I cannot believe how many people are falling for the “doing eugenics against the Nazis isn’t the same thing as doing Nazi eugenics” bit.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
