This is the best because you know at least 75% of those Creed listening motherfuckers probably belt out coming home to Boston while shotgunning Busch lights.

🇺🇲 Happy Holidays to those who served, sacrificed, and believed. To civil servants, Foreign Service, FSNs, partners, communities, and the American people. This year was hard. Helping humanity is not partisan. Never forget. Let’s rebuild together.

Proudly by the American people. 🙏

Still incandescent over the Republicans thinking they can toss $1500 HSAs at people and call it health care. I honestly can’t stop thinking about how utterly cynical and craven it is.

No other agency of the U.S. government has saved more lives per dollar than U.S.A.I.D.—it supplied medicine, food, and staffing for some of the most desperate and vulnerable. A new short documentary shows the impact of its dismantling. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/2a5Jm5
The Shutdown of U.S.A.I.D. Has Already Killed Hundreds of Thousands

I helped make a film, out this week, called “Rovina’s Choice,” about the deaths this man without conscience or accountability has caused — already 600,000, ⅔ of them children.

Can confirm.
the women in the workplace discourse is very funny because a man who can act normal in an office environment that's predominantly female is absolutely on easy street. it's maybe the best gig anyone in history has had. and yet for many guys it is utterly impossible

centrists will tell you to your face that we all need to abandon identity issues, and focus on kitchen table issues instead and yet when a leftist candidate runs a generational campaign based on kitchen table issues, it's the centrists weaponizing identity politics to smear the leftist.

Between this and the donations for the Epstein Ballroom it sure looks like corporations and billionaires can afford to pay more taxes.
Trump: "By the way, a friend of mine called us the other day and he said 'I'd like to contribute any shortfall you have because of the Democrat shutdown. I'd like to contribute any shortfall you have with the military.' Today, he sent us a check for $130 million. It's gonna go the military."

Trump said nothing last week about the passing of the great Dr. Jane Goodall. But this remarkable woman had a few things to say about him and other terrible men.
Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

This is easier right now thanks to K-Pop Demon Hunters.
They want to cancel Jimmy Kimmel and kill free speech?

Time to hit them where it hurts—their pockets:
- Cancel Disney+
- Cancel Hulu
- Boycott ESPN
- Boycott ABC

Let them know why you’re canceling/boycotting.
