How are Subarus such good cars, but Subaru dealerships are absolute garbage?

This is all you need to know about the Republican party's argument about the shutdown. Kids don't get food, but Trump gets his ballroom

A news clipping from ABC News that construction on the White House ballroom will continue despite government shutdown

Why would I care if the government is shut down? Republicans have destroyed every aspect that actually helps people. Seems like right now is a good excuse for to build new systems that aren't reliant on rich white men's inability to empathize with anyone other than themselves.

Fund mutual aid.

Bless the girls who wear lots of good smelling perfume/hairspray at shows because the men they're with have obviously not showered in days

I went to what I thought was a historical sight in Manitou, CO this weekend, and it turned out to be a terrible piece of cultural appropriation. Good to know that my radar is working correctly, as the vibe was wildly uncomfortable the whole time.

Don't go to the "cliff dwellings" in Manitou.

Nobody has ever loved Stephen Miller, and nobody ever will. He'll die terrified and miserable. Don't be like Stephen Miller.

Here's a thought, do your job and remove the executive for treason.

Spineless prick.

Trump says he’s authorized Hegseth to use “Full Force” against Antifa in “War ravaged” Portland

At the request of Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, I am directing Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to provide all necessary Troops to protect War ravaged Portland, and any of our ICE Facilities under siege from attack by Antifa, and other domestic terrorists. I am also authorizing Full Force, if necessary. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

The Republican party does not love America. They don't own patriotism. They've been traitors to the core of the American experiment for decades. We can disagree with each other without killing each other. We're neighbors, not enemies.

I know a lot is wrong with the world, but could we possibly solve the easiest problem possible and eliminate motion smoothing as the default setting on TVs? Please? It's insane that it still exists at all.

When you abandon the gender binary, you abandon all of the bullshit frameworks that hold up the current societal system that causes so many of the contemporary world's problems. Anti trans movements are the death knell of misogyny and inequality, heard in the distance as a better world is born.
