Are there other rangoons that we're missing out on? Is there taco rangoon? Pepperoni rangoon? Hash brown rangoon? I have a right to know and so do you.

Another Republican creep! The House needs to sanction him ASAP and strip him of committee assignments.

I honestly slept on the whole D'Angelo era. I was probably busy listening to the Cure. But it's been nice learning about how much he meant to so many of you and about his genius. I am very sorry for your loss.

Looks like public media platform at Penn State University will stay open, after news that Philadelphia public media outlet WHYY will take control of WPSU - which was slated to be the first public media outlet to close following loss of federal funding. https://loom.ly/4HCc8As.

Reverse card: Penn State trustees agree to transfer WPSU to WHYY

The university will no longer be required to pay a $17.6 million subsidy to WHYY as financial supporters are expected to step up to save the central Pennsylvania station.

More and more Americans are literally being forced to use GoFundMe to survive.

So what are Donald Trump and the Republicans doing to help?

Ripping away families' health care and jacking up insurance premiums to pay for giant tax handouts for their billionaire buddies.

Andy said trans rights, y’all

pretty decent chance we will have the Governor of Kentucky running to the left of the Governor of California on this issue in 2028. it’s a wacky world, folks

Andy Beshear @AndyBeshearKY • 23h
A little bit about me, my values don't change based on who I'm talking to. I'm a proud pro-LGBTQ+ Governor who vetoed anti-trans legislation in an election year and still beat Trump's hand-picked candidate.

24 hrs ago, I was sitting in my car outside the office on my lunch break when I went from "Oh, I don't feel good" to "Oh, am I going to make it back to the office?" in like 3 minutes. I got back to the office shaking and sweating uncontrollably. Everything hurt. Managed to drive home, spent ALL+

Special education isn't a "nice thing to have." It isn't "charity" or doing something to make us feel better. It is a right. The right to a Free Appropriate Public Education is codified in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, signed by a Republican president.

ALSO. ALSO. Needing us to find Europeans who condemned him for his actions at the time--and there are many! So many! My God so many!--is also some white supremacist bullshit, because the TAINO PEOPLE HE WAS MURDERING CERTAINLY CONDEMNED HIM FOR IT AND THEY WERE HUMAN BEINGS OF HIS TIME TOO.

Christopher Columbus was dragged back to Spain in chains by a crusading knight, convicted of tyranny and immeasurable cruelty, pardoned by Isabella but banned from returning to Hispaniola.

Fuck Columbus.
