Just found out that if next year wasn’t a leap year my 21st birthday would be a Saturday, but instead it’s on a Sunday. So I made a GoFundMe to get rid of leap years.

All donations will go towards bribing a local senator

The president cancelling tv shows he doesn’t like & memeing about it on social media is a dystopian nightmare.

10 years, the very thought of this occurring would have been uncontroversially anti-american.

MAGA has destroyed our country.

In 1890, about 20% of all Irish people in the world lived in and had recently arrived in the United States.

In 1910, about 15% of Italians globally lived in the United States.

This is a feature of our country, not a bug.

funniest possible person to accuse of being “holier than thou”

Not knowing who you pardoned, if you pardoned them, and who they are when they just gave your family a $2 billion deal and then received a pardon, should be a way bigger controversy than an auto pen.

So when do the CEOs begin lowering prices and passing these savings on to consumers?

Real estate investors bought one-third of all single-family residential homes sold in the second quarter of 2025.

Reminder: If Bernie's Social Security bill was signed into law, Social Security would be solvent for the next 75 years, benefits would go up by $2,400 & the bottom 91% of Americans would not pay a penny more in taxes.

Instead, Republicans want you to work until you drop dead.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

John Bolton and I have nothing in common politically.

But last time I heard, in America, people are allowed to criticize the President of the United States without the FBI showing up on their doorstep.

Just another step in Trump’s march toward authoritarianism.

This plaque in Prague has been rubbed to a shiny gold because for centuries, passersby have touched the dog for good luck, and also to reassure him that he's a very good boy. 14/10

If it looks like Hiroshima that’s because Israel has dropped the equivalent of 4 atom bombs on them

You can kill schoolchildren, you can kill whistleblowers, you can kill random homeless people, but god forbid you kill a CEO. Things gotta change, we can't do this anymore.

Western nations wreak this havoc around the world then complain about immigration

[Caroline @carolinekwan]

Michael Phelps is literally referred to as a freak of nature because of his disproportionate wingspan, double jointed ankles, lung capacity twice that of an average human, body that produces half the lactic acid of a typical athlete, and he is rightly celebrated for being the greatest male swimmer in history. Meanwhile, female athletes with genetic differences are legally discriminated against and harassed to no end. This is not about “protecting women in sports” - this is about protecting a very specific idea of what a woman is.

Yet another Black woman who called police for help has been shot + killed by them.

36-year old Sonya Massey called 911 around 1 A.M. b/c of an intruder.

Police arrived. They killed Sonya.

Though her family is demanding police release the bodycam footage, they're refusing to.

I find it weird that people will see a homeless person with a dog and think “we have to help the dog” while helping the homeless person doesn’t even cross they minds.

[Big Red Celt @BigRedCeltTT]

Don’t go limp. They tack on more charges and it doesn’t bother the cops at all. In fact when they all get back together they laugh and tell stories of the ones “who went limp like a kid or cried like a baby or screamed like a tantrum.”

If you are getting arrested, and you want to fuck with cops: don’t go limp go “stoic.”

This means you have one of two emotional displays. No emotion or smiling.

-The entire time you can. stare the cop in the eyes.
-Do not speak, except to invoke your 4th and 5th amendment rights, to demand a lawyer and if you are not in cuffs to inquire if you are detained.
-Do not resist arrest, put your hands behind your back when told to. If you can look a cop straight in the eyes while they cuff you. If not look forward.
-Always head up, looking forward.
-You are presenting the image that you are not afraid, of arrests or them.

Mass arrests at protests are a scare tactic, to cause mass confusion and to break up groups through fear. Cops want the limp bodies, they want the screaming. It tells them they are putting fear in their targets. If their targets are afraid, their targets will “leave on their own” ending the protest.

The stoic who does not fear arrest, does not fear their commands, who they know will just return to the protest as soon as the magistrate bonds them out…cops don’t know how to deal with that. It bothers them. They are used to arrests at protests being messy and loud, silence messes with them.

They know their power is driven by fear. Fear of the items on their belt, fear of the back seat of the cruiser, fear of the court systems. They are trained to utilize that fear.

Show them they cannot make you afraid anymore. They are not trained or prepared for that.

(This is psychological warfare, not legal advice and not insight to how this could affect a case after being arrested.)
