Now you know we called you ignorant.

Christening a baby is nothing like christening a ship. I know that now. Once again I can only apologise.

An anti-concentration camp bill!

18 service members were killed 750 were wounded The Trump administration spent $33.4 billion-$7.4 billion in contingency expenses, $22.3 billion in munitions, and $3.7 billion in equipment We lost control of the Strait of Hormuz And the Pentagon won’t even tell us why we really attacked Iran

It seems to me the real problem these days is that people have an overwhelming dread of sense.

In the 25 years since 9/11, the United States has spent $8 trillion+ on wars that have taken millions of lives in the name of fighting "terror." Can you imagine if we had instead invested those funds here on climate, health care, housing, and education?

This is the interview Trump’s FCC doesn’t want you to see. We’re not just going up against the most corrupt politician in Texas. We’re going up against this entire corrupt system.

So rather than put Texas ABC affiliates in the middle of it, Kimmel says the full interview will be posted to YouTube instead. This is where we are now. A candidate interview gets moved off broadcast television because local stations are worried about what the federal government might do next.

Beautiful Marietta, on the banks of the Ohio and Muskingum!

Trump is breaking ground on his 250-foot vanity arch before he even has final approval, all while a veterans’ lawsuit to stop it is still pending in court. Construction 20 hours a day, for years, at the gates of Arlington where we have buried our nation’s heroes. Absolutely disgraceful.

Any sweeping systemic change you want to make in the United States has to begin with adding seats to the Supreme Court in 2029. No major reform bill will survive the current court. No civil rights law, no anti-corruption law, no wealth tax, nothing.

Millions of people rely on the information they obtain via a search engine corporation which just proved it would alter digital reality if instructed to do so by those in political power. That’s some crazy shit, Google.

Let’s win this tomorrow. For democracy.

We understand the reference. 🎯

The terrible things that happen when a Democratic Socialist is running things? Well, that's what MAGA is saying anyway.

People who keep pointing out that golf courses use as much water as data centres as some sort of defence of data centres drastically underestimate the amount we also hate golf.

I loathe the cult of the car.

Pete Buttigieg having Child Protective Services called on him and not being allowed to talk unsupervised to his four year old children until they're interviewed is just about the darkest shit I can remember in politics.

Wow! Iran left a thank you note in their locker room thanking LA for its hospitality during the World Cup. Be sure you read the last line: “May peace, respect, and friendship prevail among all nations.” (Source: Reuters)

Insulin should be capped at $35/month. Repost if you agree.

“Come on, Boomers, stop pushing old back & white movies on us. What possible relevance could an antique like Citizen Kane have on the modern world?”

I’d like to live in a country where a grandma doesn’t have to work as a Door Dash driver to pay for her husband’s cancer treatment

Dozens of Israeli settlers stormed the Palestinian village of Jalud during Eid al-Fitr, torching homes and wounding at least one person. The attack comes amid a surge in settler violence in the occupied West Bank, where over 1,000 Palestinians have been killed since October 2023.

Send ICE agents to Iran. They want to beat up and shoot people? They can try their skills there, and see if they work as well in that environment.

In 2022, Mehmet Oz ran against Fetterman for this Pennsylvania senate seat. Oz allegedly moved to Pennsylvania from NJ in Dec 2020 and registered to vote there, meeting the legal requirements. Who else wants Jasmine Crockett to move to Pennsylvania and run for this seat senate in 2028?

Caught my first trout ever!

Let's elect people who have put gas in a car and shopped at a grocery store.

Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.

Dear Latino & Hispanic voters, The Republican Party believes that masked federal thugs lawlessly roaming our streets, racially profiling brown & black people, and terrorizing immigrants & citizens is just a “little hiccup.” I thought you should know. Best, A Former Republican

I can so relate to this.

Let’s Make It Happen….

I’m so tired of bad people getting away with doing bad things.

RIP to Jesse Jackson. His funeral is today. I wanted to share this clip from his appearance on Sesame Street in 1971. His important words ring just as true today as they did back then.
