The plan to prove that the most incompetent White men are preferable to the most highly qualified Black men has been a smashing success.

Between the tariff lunacy tanking the economy, the chain-sawing of the federal govt, & Signal-gate (parts 1 & 2), the supremacy is not looking very supreme.

This asshole raised prices and ruined your retirement savings, and now he's out golfing for the rest of the weekend.

I'd like to bring this video to your attention.

It's doing pretty significant numbers for what it is, so while I understand sharing it won't make a difference for those knee-deep in the cult of personality, I'd say it has a better-than-average chance of resonating.

It may not come as a surprise that our Dictator’s speech was full of lies, but if you want a succinct breakdown of the biggest lies, @maddow.msnbc.com has got you.

I never thought I’d see the day where the leaders of my country would completely and fragrantly betray our allies and side with our enemies. It is mind boggling, and extraordinarily dangerous. The whole world should be standing against Russia’s aggression, and I know that most Americans do.

Not surprising, but so true. White supremacy, short and simple.
firing for "too much DEI" is plainly firing a woman and a Black man on the presumption only white men can be qualified. this is disgusting biogtry.

This is the OM Systems 40-150/2.8. Working at 300mm-eq when I'm not in the pit is everything. I can work the periphery and still isolate performers. Add the fantastic build/weather sealing, internal zoom, stunning optics and fast aperture and you have a truly legendary lens.

Thank you Phantogram for not only rocking our faces off, but also lifting our spirits with your genuine love for The Orange Peel and empathy for #asheville and the post-Helene challenges we’re still going through. Whatta show! #concertphotography

Such an honor to document one of my favorite bands, Rubblebucket. Such an incredible career with constantly changing style that somehow all makes sense. Not many bands have such a deep collection of songs that they can both start AND end with my favorite songs. And best audience ever!
