“No, Speaker Johnson — the No Kings rally on October 18 is not a hate America rally. In fact, it’s quite the contrary: It’s a love America rally.” #NoKings

Stop covering up for Pedophiles Speaker Johnson #ReleaseTheTrumpsteinFiles

Senate Democrats argue with Johnson about the government shutdown and swearing in an elected House member: "You don't want her to be on the Epstein discharge. Why don't you bring back your Republican members so we can have serious negotiation? Get your people in and stop covering up for pedophiles."

If we are taking in “trillion” of dollars in tariffs:

1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt?

2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies?

3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?

Question
I'm sick and tired of seeing these thugs terrorize big events and am worried that they will try to interrupt Limp Bizkit's set. My gf (F19) and I (M31) are going to our first Lollapalooza and are concerned about the growing threat around the city

And have an injury rate 6 times higher than anyone else in the space industry

Jane Goodall said she would launch Trump and Musk on one-way trip into space

Primatologist said in interview released after her death she would also put Putin, Xi and Netanyahu on that spaceship In a lifetime studying the behavior of chimpanzees, Jane Goodall became something of an authority on the aggressiveness of alpha male adults. Now, in an interview released just days after her death, the famed primatologist reveals what she would do with Donald Trump, Elon Musk and other human beings she saw as showing similar traits: launch them on a one-way trip into space. The insight into Goodall’s thinking comes in the Netflix documentary Famous Last Words, recorded in March and kept under wraps until her death last week at the age of 91. Continue reading...

#TeslaTakedown #Austin 10/4/2025 A Robotaxi - they're being unsafely piloted here - actually pulled in behind us, across from the dealer. I stood in front of it, but it couldn't figure out to back up - so its "safety" monitor had to drive it off 😅.
