Hey, costs money to make money to help the children.

Help out so we can build.
Someone has offered their home for us to do a fundraising dinner, can anyone chip in for gas for the 250 mile drive so we can check it out and plan?? 🛣️🪶✨

Not that anyone needs a reminder but this man has the nuclear codes.

Far too many people will just shrug this off or find some way to justify it.

But Trump is unwell, incoherent, and a danger to us all.
Trump: "With the war, it's just artificial. It's a little bit high. It's a small price to pay ... let them take out Los Angeles, let them take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay."

📮 Your mail ballot could be postmarked too late to count, even if you mailed it on time.

New USPS cost-cutting changes put tens of thousands of mail voters at risk of having their mail ballots rejected.

When military police found Adrian Martinez's body, his bags had already been packed for his trip home to Houston. The army says he took his own life, but their investigation seemed to ignore one key fact: He was a sexual assault whistleblower.

It's a frustrating reality that every election is decided by a group of very dumb people who can easily be swayed with misinformation they never bother to find the truth about. They can see one ad or one hit on Fox News and take it as truth.
Ok but these women are insane.

One of the less remarked-upon aspects of atheism is how it changes the way you see sunsets. If you believe in an omnipresent God, then sunsets are one of God's intentional creations, which means that the beautiful colors refracting through the darkling sky were *chosen* to produce that effect.

So they beat up a citizen for refusing to provide ID

Papers, please
"He said the individual refused to provide identification, was detained for fingerprinting, and resisted detention. Agents later determined he was not the person they were seeking and learned that he was a U.S. citizen. He was released."

If Democrats want to regain working people, they must disavow Big Money.

They must hammer economic populism — and have a laser focus on the cost of living crisis in America.

There’s no way the party can speak for or represent the working class in America if it's beholden to corporate interests.

So nobody had anything to say about the loud, aggressive verbal abuse until the target threw hands to shut him up? It’s always “that’s enough” and “don’t do that” to the victim, and crickets during the inciting attack.

Samuel Alito flew flags used by insurrectionists.

Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election.

Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the Jan 6 plot.

Both ruled in favor of Trump's mail-in ballot sabotage.

Trump’s EPA will no longer limit pollution from gas and coal-burning power plants.

Reminder: Trump took millions of dollars in donations from Big Oil, and his EPA chief Lee Zeldin is cozy with the coal industry.

Is there anything this regime won’t destroy to please its bankrollers?

The Trump administration EPA just repealed most of the 2024 carbon pollution rules for coal and gas power plants. Now they’re also trying to get rid of the remaining federal greenhouse gas rules for power plants too.

If you give workers instructions that reveal your ignorance, they might roll their eyes at you and make you feel bad about yourself. Even if they restrain themselves in the moment, they might make fun of you in the break-room later.

If a generative AI CEO is telling you something, take it with a grain of salt the size of an iceberg. So if they want regulation now, it is more likely something to do with finances than an immediate existential threat. These dipshits do not care about existential threats other than going bankrupt.
