After a months-long occupation, Minnesota is still recovering from a retribution campaign waged by the federal government. Now, Minnesota stands with Houston in demanding accountability for the fatal shooting of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. This bloodshed cannot be normalized.

The Reflecting Pool should be left in shambles as a reminder of his failed presidency. He should never be allowed to touch anything else in DC again. Let the next president fix it properly.

Gina's "Sweet Child o'Mines" from Sammy J's 2013 ABC comedy 'Wednesday Night Fever'. Still freakishly relevant today over a decade later. 🤣 Absolutely brilliant.

The richest man owns X. The second and third richest men control Google. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. The seventh richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

Tony Abbott has always been a man dedicated to the scoreboard. Lost his Prime Ministership, then lost his seat, now apparently wants to lose the entire Liberal Party. Have to admire the |absolute value| of the dedication, regardless of its direction

The Trump admin: -Gutted USAID and foreign health aid to Uganda and Congo, the epicenters of the Ebola outbreak -Withdrew from WHO, which monitors global health emergencies -Made deep staffing cuts to CDC, which coordinates disease response The pro-virus president.

Participating in #jobseeker mutual obligations has been stressful enough for me as a healthy individual. I can't imagine what it's like for vulnerable members of our community. Abolish this broken scheme! #auspol

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche admitted that the DOJ excluded all images showing “death, physical abuse, or injury” from the Epstein files release. DEATH? The truth is probably far worse than anyone can imagine. Blanche needs to be prosecuted as well.
