"Two weeks ago, I was called a Nazi.”

Ms. Trebb, 54, a family therapist and a Democrat, said she had decided to trade in her Tesla for a gas-powered Mercedes, accepting $32,000 of the Tesla's original $55,880 value, despite having only 10,000 miles on it. Her decision, she said, was cemented during a recent trip to the supermarket.
"Two weeks ago, I was called a Nazi," she said,
"in the parking lot at Kroger," adding an expletive. "I came home and told my husband,
"That's it. I'm done."

tom brady and snoop dogg starring in a "stand up to hate" commercial while both being supporters and friends of donald trump is kinda the natural conclusion of "just be kind <3" messaging that refuses to engage with politics

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

there is a very specific name for the type of person who’d think holocaust remembrance day is “woke”. i wish i could recall what that is.

Intelligence officials are starting to leak to me now too. Here’s a memo Defense Intelligence Agency personnel received instructing them to suspend observances including:
- Holocaust Remembrance Day
- MLK Day
- Juneteenth

stopping the flow of HIV drugs to poor countries and demanding that foreign doctors stop distributing the meds already sitting in their clinics is so evil it is hard to wrap my head around. one day when when this is all history i will struggle to forgive anyone who voted for him
