There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

This is just a pubic service announcement. This is the best salsa I ever had and now my jar is empty and I’m a little sad.

Use of deadly force without imminent danger to the public or themselves. I think that is murder.

Cover of the classic children's book Frog And Toad Are Friends.

Drawing of Toad, a brown toad, sitting on a bench, dressed in a green jacket and slacks. He is reading a book to his friend Frog, a green frog dressed in a brown jacket and slacks. They are surrounded by green plants and mushrooms. There is a silver Caldecott Medal in the corner.

Text has been altered from original. It reads
Fiftieth Anniversary
Frog and Toad Are Antifa

do you ever just think about how reproductive health care is not protected and you’re in your mid-30s and you have a rare autoimmune blood disease that puts you at high risk for pregnancy complications and then you get sad because by the time it might be “safe” to be pregnant, you won’t be able to?

Maybe the republicans secretly pressured Trump into another physical so they could sight a medical concern before they force him out because they know they can not come up with a way to hide the Epstein files much longer.

Well, this is certainly more than a bit concerning!

We serve as an election official in our jurisdiction and this - this is scaring the shit out of us. We use Dominion machines like virtually every other state. What is this going to mean for “fair and free elections”? We already have paper ballot integrity. WTF.

The Trump administration is REALLY allowing Qatar to build an air base in the US after they did a $5.5 billion golf resort deal with Trump and gave him a jet.

MAGA can take their ‘America First’ flags and wipe their asses with them. He is Trump First, and you are suckers.
