I am surrounded by people who own homes that they cannot afford to maintain, either the structure or the yard. The same people seem to also own pets and are unable to afford veterinary bills.

My country's history just knocked on the door & asked me to remind everyone that it's only a small step from nasty to Nazi ... in this case, from ridiculing & humiliating a disabled journalist to calling for euthanasia of people with mental illnesses.

To all the dumfuqs and centrists who are worried about Mamdani being a democratic socialist mayor of NYC, we have an actual fucking Nazi as president, who just happens to be a convicted felon and pedophile.
Use your outrage accordingly.

20 years ago this week. No road signs standing, no GPS, and certainly no clue what we were in for. We made it out a month later free of gunshot injury. #towerdogs. #Katrina.

As a four-decade veteran of the daily journalism business, let me tell you: Every competent political reporter in this country knows that Trump is trying to establish a dictatorship. The industry's shame is that so few journalists will say so, and the ones who do lose their jobs.
