I don't say this as often as I used to, so let's get it out there one more time: your new Tesla makes me vsicerally angry. It wasn't a good deal, and it's not the best EV you can buy, you're just as stupid and poorly-informed as you are amoral. I hope bad things happen to it and you.

“Tariffs were pitched as the fix for America’s trade deficit. Instead… Last 18 Months: –$1.80 trillion deficit in Goods. 18 Months Prior: –$1.74 trillion deficit in Goods. The deficit didn’t shrink. It increased 4%.” - Bilello

Starting an unprovoked war with Iran that ended with the U.S. surrendering to Iran in a process another country mediated has to be high on the “2026 is America’s most embarrassing year ever” list.

Donald Trump bulldozed a third of the White House, destroyed the lawn, choked the Reflecting Pool in slime, and wrapped the Kennedy Center like a corpse in the morgue for America's 250th which flopped because of climate change.

She actually said this: Karoline Leavitt: “Under President Trump the U.S. unemployment rate is at a historic low of just 4.3%. It was at a dismal rate of 3.4% under Biden.”🙄

Many people have a vested interest in pretending otherwise, but the US research university is globally dominant to an almost unbelievable degree. The typical state university is a football team stapled to a R&D lab with a budget bigger than the entire nation of Belgium.

The president has illegally declared war to stop fentanyl trafficking from a country that does not traffic that drug, claiming its leader is trafficking drugs himself, the day after pardoning a former leader of a country who is a convicted drug trafficker. Just to level set

Trump says he knows nothing about a crypto billionaire who got a presidential pardon. Trump says he won't make SNAP payments, but his underlings walk that back and say he’ll make partial payments. Is Trump too busy picking out bathroom tile to run the government? Who’s in charge? Stephen Miller?

To my fellow, Duck fans: I get it. We are all disappointed. Our game plan didn’t work. We lost. It sucks. I take it in stride. It’s part of the game. We are desperate to win a national championship. Maybe a little too desperate, at times. I have not lost one ounce of faith in Lanning or this team.

Any student standing up & making a scene in a learning environment should be kicked out. Instead, we’re allowing these people to throw boot licking tantrums to get their way. The powers in the state and beyond are determined to erode education as quickly as possible and I’m embarrassed and sad.

ironically the Nanny state is really the Rs that tell us who we can marry, fck, read about in books, sit next to (soon enough) and what we can do with or to our bodies and how we must identify ourselves but yes, the *perception* is the opposite

Juneteenth is the perfect moment to remind everyone of two facts: 1. Those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it. 2. Those who prevent history from being taught are plotting to repeat it. Read this out loud. Read it again. Then teach it to your kids.

Trump is a lawless traitor. His pardon of 1/6 insurrectionists set the stage for today’s lethal attacks on elected officials. He’s a malignant narcissist,a bully,and a coward who fetishizes violence. We must answer this madness with peaceful resistance. Despair is a luxury our children can’t afford.
