The designer of Times New Roman, Stanley Morrison, was a conscientious objector in 1916 and was imprisoned for his pacifist beliefs.

These dipshits can't even vice signal without screwing it up.
Times New Roman is an imported font, developed for London newspaper The Times in 1931. You know what American-designed font cooked up in 1994 would be perfect for this regime? Comic Sans.
Marco Rubio ordered diplomats to return to using Times New Roman font in official communications, calling his predecessor's decision to adopt Calibri a “wasteful” diversity move

Look at any US news article about cyclists killed by cars. Unless it's on a cycling forum you'll invariably find many, if not most, comments are disparaging those who were killed or cyclists in general. It's culturally acceptable to wish for the deaths of people who cause traffic inconvenience.

I don't think enough people appreciate how much Republicans *hate* the United States as it exists today. They despise the idea of a culturally diverse, socially tolerant nation.

It’s not easy for Canada to completely restructure its economic system away from a partnership with the United States, a partnership Canada knows… that EVERY nation now knows… can’t be trusted. But it’s the right thing to do. And we’ll be stronger for it.

Will the United States? I doubt it.
Prime Minister Mark Carney's government announces that Canada is realigning Canada's economy away from the United States.

To make common cause with this Administration is to support an affirmatively white supremacist vision of this country. Period.

Every Republican.
Every influencer.
Every Governor.
Every evangelical leader.
Every voter. Yes. Every voter.

The Trump administration is using the White House website to target journalists and outlets for coverage they don’t like.

The White House and the WH Press Secretary also use official government X accounts to direct people to the page in order to incite harassment.

When a news outlet puts a reckless, undocumented claim by the Trump regime in the main headline and puts medical experts’ pushback in the smaller type, it’s making a choice. And not a good one.
