"... Created equal... "

If the premise is flawed, that which follows is not WFF.

That's weird, when anyone told "edgy, offensive jokes" about Charlie Kirk, you hypocritical pearl-clutching assholes lost your damn minds. 🧐

Torture disguised as restraint. ICE fascist absolutely delight in any chance to degrade or hurt others, especially with direct force hiding behind the pretense of law enforcement.

"Actually"?

People are getting ripped off the streets and you want to "Actually" me?

Fuck off.

I think the idea of "cancel culture" persists mainly because it conveniently is some outside force acting on someone rather than them torching their reputation all on their own

This Supreme Court case in Louisiana is about one thing, and one thing only: reinstituting Jim Crow by way of ensuring that Black Americans are taxed without receiving representation in Congress.

Everything else is noise and bluster.

This stolen Supreme Court is going to send us back to the 1860s.

Oh, yeah- cause they give even a single shit what the courts say.

What a fucking joke.

Until I see local cops arresting masked ICE agents, it's all just empty words.

I believe the south side Chicago building was “full of Tren de Aragua gang members” about as much as I believe the Venezuelan boats are filled with “narcoterrotists”.

The regime will say anything to justify unreasonable, and even lethal, force.

Now we are up to $40 billion for Argentina. Can anyone stop Bessent from unilaterally sending unlimited amounts of our money to South America? And Republicans won’t even negotiate with the Democrats on health care for Americans. Where is Congress?

I know it's ancient tech at this point, but I will never not be wowed by xrays. It's your bones! You can see INSIDE TO YOUR BONES. What a time to be alive.

many striking and horrible details in that interview with Greta Thunberg, but what really comes across is the gleeful, petty, juvenile sadism at basically every level - from the soldiers to the prison staff to the elected politicians. all of them clearly revelling in it. sick, sick people

Here’s the thing. We still have the power (probably) to say that this image must not be what America is. We still have the power to say “fuck no, we refuse to allow this to be what the streets of America look like.” Attend a “No Kings” rally this Saturday. And then vote in 2026.

I love those moments of wonder and what is essentially coomonplace.

Like... Teeth? Are bones that stick outside of your body, and grind against other bones.

If ANY other bones did EITHER of those things? It'd be a serious medical situation.

Trump is upfront in saying he will use the shutdown to punish Democrats, and here are the receipts. About $27.2 billion cut from Dem districts compared to about $0.7 billion in GOP districts.
We all complain about the media, but need this type of in-depth journalism.

Trump Halts Billions in Grants for Democratic Districts During Shutdown (Gift Article)

The Trump administration has frozen or canceled nearly $28 billion primarily located in Democratic-led districts, according to an analysis by The New York Times.
