There's a house near my library that had American flags all over it and Trump flags for YEARS. Now all of them have been removed except Confederate. Waiting to see if the house goes up for sale or if they just quietly came down like the other houses in the neighborhood.

With our country on the verge of legal and fiscal collapse, I would like to thank the mainstream media for focusing on the candidate who withdrew from the race and wasn't even on the ballot last November.

Just amazing editorial work. A monument in speaking truth to power.

I miss the days where I didn't have to obsessively check where I was spending my money in case they donated to this clusterfuck.

Was waiting for this one since it was in the handbook.

It's gonna go over super well. Though maybe unsolicited dick pics would finally be a crime so maybe it's not so bad? 🤔

I haven't attended church in years after growing up in the Christian church. I vehemently oppose organized religion after the hypocrisy I experienced and witnessed. But if my leader did this? I'd consider going back.

Businesses will eat the cost of the tariff like they eat the cost or rising wages right? 🤡

When the mayor of Newark gets invited to a press conference and then arrested on the sidewalk, that's not law and order that's entrapment theater. DHS spun a fantasy while the truth stood calmly in the driveway and got handcuffed. Welcome to authoritarian improv.

Have corporations figured out yet that the buy less dolls thing applies to not just dolls and will hit their bottom line? Or are we still pretending buying Trump's crypto will help you?

Instead of giving people tools to contribute to society we are just gonna build and fund prisons.

Once again begging media reports to get the math right. For example, cutting a $5M five-year grant in year 4 isn't saving $1M, but it is wasting the $4M already spent. Stop letting this administration get away with so many lies.

MUST WATCH: AOC just torched GOP lies on live TV. “As a woman, the word was given that my rights would not be taken away by the Supreme Court — and that wasn’t true.” They said our rights were protected. They lied. And now they swear Medicaid is safe? Fuck outta here.

If people are fighting to live paycheck to paycheck among skyrocketing they don't have time to worry about arrested judges or clergymen or losing their rights.

20 ARMED men bust into your home. They claim they’ve got a search warrant.

They make you stand in the rain w/your 3 daughters in their underwear.

They seize your phones, laptops, your cash life savings.

The suspects listed on the warrant? They don’t live there anymore.

A dead victim was somehow a believable victim.

Virginia Giuffre: 'A dead victim is a believable victim - we have to believe women while they’re alive'
On Saturday morning, I woke just before 4am. Jolted awake by the radio playing softly beside me that reported the death - by suicide - of Virginia Giuffre, at the age of 41.
