Yes your taxes should support disabled people.

They should support homeless people.

They should support those living in poverty, children and the elderly.

This is literally the purpose of taxes, and I would far rather support those who need it than continue to enrich the elite.

The bottom shows military police next to a manufactured recent pyramid.

The top shows text saying:
It is 2025 BC. I am a soldier from one of the outlying provinces called to defend the pyramid in Memphis.

Underneath, it says:

It is 2025 AD. I am a soldier from one of the outlying provinces card to defend the pyramid in Memphis.

Working in the woods in MS we run across private family cemeteries often. Yellow fever was pretty rampant here in the 1800s according to the grave markers.

You gotta give ‘em hop.

A tweet from the Anonymous account says, “Make sure the dude in the frog costume in Portland knows he's an icon.” The image is a stylized poster of a frog wearing a stars-and-stripes scarf with the word “HOP” below, in the style of the Obama “HOPE” poster.

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

I’m not trying to give @pbs.org ideas for raising money—but I am. I would buy women’s fit T-shirts of all my favorite childhood shows. Reading rainbow, 321 contact, square one, zoobiliee zoo. I feel like two generations will run to donate even more money for shirts with Levar Burton on them…

In the past we weren’t allowed to operate our government computers on furlough. They changed the rules and asked us to take the laptops home this time. I guess I know why.

one good Caesar meme deserves another

Salad with a buncha knives stuck in it. It's a Caesar.

This pencil holder is shaped like Caesar, allowing you to stick your pencils in his back.

Quest complete! Rend unto Caesar that which is Caesar's.

Put screws to the Legion. They send theirs, and you send yours.
