*A white Christian nationalist is murdered by a white Christian nationalist who hates him because he does not go far enough with his white Christian nationalism*

The thing that caused this is liberal universities

This @today.yougov.com poll is why I'm going to become the Joker.

The US murder rate in 2024 was likely down nearly 30 percent relative to 2020 and down nearly 50 percent relative to 1990.

"I never had a problem with Landon. Until I told him he's not going to Brazil. It was a purely footballing decision. We felt, all the coaches, his time was kind of over and more talent was there, and better players were going to Brazil."

REPORTER: Families are upset because warnings didn't go out in time. What do you say to those families?

TRUMP: Well I think everyone did an incredible job under the circumstances. Only a bad person would ask a question like that. Only an evil person would ask a question like that.

Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.

Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium.

ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

If I have a 1 year old should I expect her to have the same access to vaccines as her 6 and 9 year old cousins?

Yeah my job is pretty cool. My uniform is a tactical vest that’s two sizes too small and a gaiter I bought in a gas station. They send me to sneak into schools to kidnap little kids because people got mad about having to press 1 for English. The president had to warn everyone to stop spitting on me.

Congratulations, North Carolina. You’re on your own and your FEMA request is “not warranted.”

Read ⬇️

The Honorable Josh Stein Governor of North Carolina
20301 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699
Dear Governor Stein:
This is in response to your April 25, 2025, appeal of the denial of your request for an extension to the cost share waiver under major disaster FEMA-4827-DR that was declared on September 28, 2024, due to Tropical Storm Helene. You specifically requested an extension of the 100 percent federal cost share for debris removal and emergency protective measures, including direct federal assistance for an additional 180 days.
After a careful and thorough review of all the information available, including that contained in your initial request for a cost share adjustment and appeal, we have concluded that an extension of the 100 percent federal cost share for debris removal and emergency protective measures, including direct federal assistance for an additional 180 days under major disaster declaration FEMA-4827-DR is not warranted.
David E. Richardson
Senior Official Performing the Duties of the Administrator

Something missing in this piece is the ability to be both a Zionist and to be against the current leaders of the Israeli state. Believing in the idea of Israel and being pro-Palestine are far from mutually exclusive and I don’t see that represented here.

What a summary of the anti-trans movement:

March 23rd: female fencer competes in mixed-gender event, beating several male competitors, finishing 8th

March 30th: same fencer films herself telling trans competitor “I am refusing to fence you, because I am a woman and you are a man,” collects $5000
