Little kids are having to use their bodies to shield friends from gunfire while armed soldiers are busy picking up trash.

This is so wrong.

I can’t stress this enough These rates are the result of magic “math” And they’re being done on the whim of a guy who doesn’t understand how the global economy works.

Could you ever have imagined you would see a headline like this in your lifetime

(1/4) It was America and Britain that guaranteed the sovereignty of Ukraine and its borders in return for persuading them to give up their nuclear weapons.

NYT: One estimate finds that DOGE’s “firings, re-hirings, lost productivity and paid leave of thousands of workers” will actually COST taxpayers “upward of $135 billion this fiscal year.” @nytimes.com 🤡 www.nytimes.com/2025/04/24/u...

A little while ago, my parents' cat Bridget went missing. As the weeks dragged on, they became extremely worried. My dad devised a way to distract himself: he began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up in some of art and music's most iconic scenes.
