The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.
The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.
Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.
The list goes on and on.
Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.
Everyone realizing that Trump tweeted a picture of himself as Jesus healing a dead Jeffrey Epstein after having attacked the Pope for being “weak on crime”
Proposed social media challenge:
-Go to your LCS that doesn't cycle out old stock.
-Buy a volume of out-of-print manga that has sat there since the 2002-2008 manga boom. It does not matter what it is, it does not matter if they don't have volume 1 so you have to get volume 17.
-Liveblog it.

He says he got a congratulatory call from Curtis Sliwa, though.
Moments after President Trump posted a distorted photo of Rosie O’Donnell (along with a threat to revoke her citizenship), Governor Newsom’s official press account posts a distorted photo of Trump.
RIP Graham Greene. Every time he popped up on screen when I was a kid, my mom would excitedly point him out for being an actual Native on the screen. Able to be deadly serious and infinitely hilarious (even in smaller roles like Last of Us), he ate up the screen. Nʌki’wah brother.
Mark is right, although I confess I am a hypocrite here, for I wholly support the "remigration" of Elon Musk and Peter Thiel. They have failed to assimilate to our cultural norms and instead have tried to impose their foreign backwards ways upon us, and so must be removed to protect our heritage.

That's it. That's the post.
The funny thing is there are terrorists going after Palestinians and somehow it's expected they need to just lay down and take it. Your argument only works if you don't think of Arabs as humans who deserve the *right to exist* as well
I am forever reminded of the group of voters NPR pulled together before Barack Obama's first term and the old white woman who said she was sure, SURE, that as soon as a black person was President, all black people would be pushing her down in the street and spitting on her.
Why? Because she would.
compare to NPR's photo choice on the same topic, which also shows a woman shopping, but with a child and implying a hard decision about modest wants/needs of the family
