These racist pieces of shit think this will happen because it's what they do to anyone that isn't white, straight, or cis. They expect cruelty and unchecked violence because they are cruel and violent.

Have joy. Dante got a new toy the other day that's almost as big as him. He loves it. Not sure I've ever seen him quite so excited about a toy. So many happy sniffs 🥹❤️

NATO Ambassador Whitaker on Greenland: "As the ice recedes and we do have some thawing and passageways open up in the arctic, obviously the approaches to the US in North America are more dangerous." (So global warming isn't a hoax apparently ... )

that's so crazy. i'm sure you put him in prison and banned him from ever holding office again right
Five years ago today, the United States Capitol was attacked in a violent insurrection incited by the President of the United States for one purpose: to overturn a free and fair election and cling to power in clear violation of the Constitution.

kind of darkly funny that "gender studies" is the stereotypical "useless degree" because gender studies will help you understand a large and important chunk of the current psychosis in american life

This is such a devastating move. I'm so deflated from the past week that I can't form an opinion on their decision. It feels at once cowardly and brave, but that's a gut reaction. Mostly I'm angry. And heartbroken.

CNN: Are you okay with the US running Venezuela when there are a lot of problems that Americans are complaining about here? Trump says he's going to spend billions of dollars in Venezuela

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Trump’s administration has decided the rules no longer apply - U.S. or international law.
Justice does not come from force. It comes from accountability under international law.
Maduro’s repression does not justify these actions and Canada must not tolerate any violations of international law.

This is a dangerous and irresponsible response.
Cheering the illegal abduction of a foreign head of state and celebrating U.S. control over another country is wrong.
Canada cannot pick & choose when international law applies. If the rules only matter when it’s convenient, they don’t protect anyone

USPS quietly changed its postmark rules — mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The “official” date is when it hits automated sorting — sometimes days later
Which could have major implications for mail in voting — it’s a clever way to disenfranchise voters that’s going largely overlooked
