All it takes is one short length of yarn to solve this crime.

A Photoshop picture of Charlie Day in front of a crime solving board, except this board features only two pictures: one of Donald Trump, and one of Jeffrey Epstein. A single piece of yarn connects the two.

Totally disgusting to see this known murderer at The People’s House today. And just as disgusting that he welcomed Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman, also a murderer, to the White House.

Visiting the National World War II Museum today, was reminded again of FDR’s declaration of the Four Freedoms. Would like to see our nation rededicate ourselves to those ideals. #nola #louisiana #freedom #wwii

A screen capture from the television show Star Trek the next generation features Picard and Riker sitting side by side. In cartoon fashion, they are talking: Picard: THAT'S AN OLD CAR CALLED A DELOREAN. Riker: WHY DOES IT HAVE SO FEW MILES ON IT? Picard: IT WAS ONLY DRIVEN FROM TIME TO TIME. Riker: *facepalm*

This Veterans Day let’s make a special effort to thank everyone who has worn the uniform and stood for something bigger than themselves. #army #navy #airforce #marines #spaceforce #veteransday

Several photos show a snoozing Donald Trump with a caption “The Nod Father.” The font is in the style of the award-winning movie The Godfather.

We removed several statues honoring Confederate heroes in New Orleans a few years ago, but the bust of Confederate General Albert Pike remains. It is regularly vandalized.

ACA health insurance costs expected to go up 18%, but without federal subsidies, individuals will see outrageous increases that make healthcare insurance completely unaffordable. Call your senators and tell them to fund HEALTHCARE not WARFARE […]

A graph from the kff.org report shows “On average, a 55-year-old couple making $85,000 is currently receiving $13,567 in premium tax credits annually, covering 65% of the total cost of a benchmark plan. If the ePTCs expire, this couple would lose financial assistance and pay the full annual cost of $20,792, assuming premiums stay the same. However, if the gross premium grows at a rate of 18% into 2026, the 55-year-old couple can expect their net (out-of-pocket) premium payments to more than triple if ePTCs expire, increasing by $17,310 (240%), from $7,225 to $24,535 annually for the same plan.

Join the #nokings movement on October 18 and stand with us against authoritarian overreach and abuse of power.

We'll rise together and say: we don't do kings in this […]
