AmeriCorps VISTA was founded as the domestic equivalent to Peace Corps and it was indeed an idea originally envisioned by JFK.

How do they not understand that Target is Walmart for people who don’t want to support Walmart? If they *supposedly* want hiring on merit then they need to start firing these CEOs

The video of RFK Jr just pounding back methylene blue is wild. Even true believers were like “two pipettes full?!?” That man’s stool looks like Gargamel finally managed to binge on a full village’s worth of Smurf stew

Trump: “Flood the zone with 💩”
Dem strategists: “We must conserve our political capital even if people all around the world die 🤓 so sad…”
