No kid should ever have to protest or advocate for their friends’ basic humanity.

But they’re standing up at No Kings anyway.

A little boy holds a handmade sign with hearts glued to it. It reads, “leave my friends ALONE Donald Trump”. He’s bravely protesting at the No Kings Evanston protest.

We are certainly on the same page! I was thinking about that hymn yesterday! Such a beautiful song.
You are absolutely correct about that verse.

Someone who saw the evidence in that case and wanted to have dinner with Epstein is not anyone who should be allowed near children.

What do you think made America great?

I’ve traveled the world, and every time I come home, I’m reminded of what makes this place special: the culture, the mix of people, the constant diversity. I love this country.

And I also know who truly hates America:

• The KKK
• 3 Percenters
• Proud Boys

Cuomo had better learn how to say “Mayor Mamdani” correctly, because he got smoked last night.🔥

FRANK RICH: “.. Mamdani’s secret power, I’d argue, is that he can never be president. .. not angling to go to Washington or be anointed the ‘savior’ of the Democratic Party ..

“.. he is a politician who actually wants to do the job .. a truly radical idea.”

They joined Bluesky because they can’t live without your attention. They don’t want to govern, they don’t even really want to “win” in a conventional sense, they just want to play online all day owning libs and it drives them crazy when they lose access to your one wild and precious life.

If you want to prevent fungal infections, you want to prevent viral infections.

COVID-19 is associated with an increased risk of diabetes, and diabetes is a good way to get into trouble with fungi…

heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god

The Pope tweets: "The poor are not there by chance or by blind and cruel fate. Nor, for most of them, is poverty a choice. Yet, there are those who still presume to make this claim, thus revealing their own blindness and cruelty. #DilexiTe"

Someone replies: "I was so hopeful I could be a Catholic again after the disaster that Francis was, guess we just get Francis 2.0 now and I am heartbroken. How do I stay a Catholic now...I don't want to lose faith but I am. You belong to someone else, not God."
