I can't stop thinking of this-everybody in this motherfucking country is related to or knows someone who has a disability. This should have been the end of his career, but it was just the beginning.

Too bad he didn't trip on that escalator and break his motherfucking neck.

Well, if you're nakie while committing burglaries, you can't accidentally drop your wallet to be found later. 🤷

This is your annual reminder that Columbus never set foot on the mainland of North America. Never touched the soil of what is now the United States.

Columbus was an enslaver and a racist and a man who used his Christian faith to justify all manner of atrocities.

One of JD Vance’s admitted gurus, Curtis Yarvin, says he’s thinking about fleeing the country because Trump hasn’t dismantled enough of America’s democratic institutions and he fears “vengeance.” Let that sink in when you think about who’s running the country.

"What measles? We don't have a measles problem, because we stopped paying attention to how many cases of measles there are at any given time. There are no measles cases. The word *measles* doesn't exist. Why do we need experts?"
