Always interested in learning more, but so overwhelmed by all there is to learn. Guess I better get started. RTs, likes or follows are not an endorsement.

Hot damn. So, glad she’s running. South Carolina, what an incredible opportunity you have here to bring someone smart to the table to represent you.

Any election I lose is stolen.
Any election I win is legitimate.

Any news I don’t like is fake.
Any news I do like is real.

Any criticism of me is a lie.
Any praise of me is the truth.

If I say it, it’s true, even the lies.
Only I am honest.

And people support this crook

@ScottLantz9 @NPRinskeep We are a clown show with this mess. The side by side is appalling. Not surprising. Just appalling.

@SkinnerPm I think, based on that face, for the small price of a weekly lasagna, he may be willing to return some land. Not all, not much, SOME.

This New York Times piece is worth your time. Here’s what is happening, as simply as I can put it.

Back in January, Trump sued the IRS, an agency he controls, demanding $10 billion over the leak of his tax returns a number of years ago.

IRS lawyers did their jobs. They wrote a memo laying out the defenses that could beat the suit, including the fact that Trump filed too late. His own lawyer was in court when the leaker pleaded guilty in October 2023, more than two years before Trump sued.

The Justice Department never showed up to court. Never argued back. Never used the defenses sitting on their desk.

The judge got suspicious and ordered both sides to explain whether they were actually opposing each other or just colluding. The day before that brief was due, Trump dropped the suit.

Same day, his Justice Department announced a $1.776 billion taxpayer-funded “anti-weaponization fund.” 

Trump gets a formal apology. The IRS agrees to drop any audits of him and his family, even though a 2024 Times report found a loss in an ongoing audit could cost him over $100 million.

The acting Attorney General, Trump’s former criminal defense attorney, picks the five commissioners who decide who gets paid. Trump can fire any of them. Proud Boys and Oath Keepers are not ruled out.

This is the most corrupt thing I’ve ever seen from an American president.

Where in the hell are my Republican colleagues?

Black American should not be given reparations for hundreds of years of slavery. Here’s why the January 6 rioters should be given reparations for a couple months in jail for committing treason

Women: I want to go for a run.
Society: You can’t go alone. You’ll get raped.

Women: I want to walk to my car in the parking garage.
Society: Alone? You better get someone to escort you, or you’ll get raped.

Women: I want to live alone.
Society: You need a gun, an alarm system, a dog and probably a gun for the dog too.

Women: What about going to the park?
Society: Dangerous.

Women: Okay, I’ll just go out for a drink then.
Society: Don’t take your eyes off your drink. Watch out for predators spiking your drinks. Stay alert at all times.

Women: I was raped.
Society: Are you sure? That just seems impossible.

One of the most blatant forms of Christian hypocrisy in our time is Christians holding all ordinary people accountable to the most rigid moral standards while simultaneously holding themselves and the president accountable to no standards at all.

[Stacey Faris @StaceyFaris]

@AJamesMcCarthy Absolutely incredible.

@SkinnerPm Just, ewww

Firing Kristi Noem and replacing her with Markwayne Mullins is like shitting your pants and running home to change your shirt.

@hoophead928 @G17Esiason @RyanWellner Sounds like a win for you if that’s all you had to do to get her to leave you alone! Definitely a win for the kid to learn to play more than one position.

I want to live in a country where using Spanish in a 15-minute halftime performance doesn't cause more outrage than men r*ping children for decades.

Hahaha!

Reporter: The president called you a loser.

Republican Senator Thom Tillis: “I am thrilled about that. That makes me qualified to be homeland security secretary and senior adviser to the president.”

Filming the police is not only a constitutional right, it’s a societal obligation.

[Auschwitz Memorial @AuschwitzMuseum]

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.
