Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important.

We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."
Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

Scavenger hunt, gov’t-edition—

If you visit a USG facility (base exchange, gift shop), please check if they’re selling any Trump merchandise.

Yes/no reports both useful. Photos that show proof of location a huge plus.

My cure to the male loneliness epidemic is to take away every boy’s phone and young man’s phone, then force them to get together to play Goldeneye and Mario Party in a basement for hours on end. Bingo bango, problem solved.

Clay Higgins saying there are no 230 protections for companies that don't suppress people celebrating Kirk's death is not just wrong on the law but a very clear attack on First Amendment protected speech.

This is actual government jawboning in pursuit of silencing disfavored views.
This is an abuse of government authority from Rep. Clay Higgins. It's jawboning. It's a violation of the First Amendment. And Americans on the left and right *must* condemn it.

The government using censorship to "protect" speech is utterly repulsive.

Holy shit, guys! Three nights of Brandi Carlile at Red Rocks is nothing short of a religious experience. Especially with her new song, Church and State, which is punk as fuck! And then she played Uninvited by Alanis all three nights, which was just beyond incredible!
