Just saw someone claim that authors who want to be paid for their work are "class traitors" because we "only let the wealthy" read our books, and I think I need to go into the woods to scream into the night for a bit.
It's $5, not your first-born child! I need that $5 for health insurance!

The first official confirmation that Noem herself made the decision not to turn the planes around. A couple hundred men were tortured as a result — and soon after, the Supreme Court confirmed that the Trump admin’s Alien Enemies Act process was a total violation of due process.
BREAKING:
“After receiving that legal advice, Secretary Noem directed that the AEA detainees who had been removed from the United States before the Court’s order could be transferred to the custody of El Salvador. “

No the Democrats in this video aren't "implying" anything. Members of the armed forces ARE required to refuse illegal orders. This is simple. Not controversial at all. And it's super revealing that MAGA is so worried that troops won't carry out an illegal order from Trump.

One of my favorite things is getting to tell friends who are new to NYC that the subway "stand clear of the closing doors please" voice is a trans woman named Bernie Wagenblast and she's amazing.

"Many rivers to cross, but I can't seem to find my way over"
I actually muted a Dylan song, listening to radio today. I think Timmy Shallowass and his piece of shit bio pic has ruined (temporarily, I pray) the sound of the actual artist’s music. It’s nearly impossible to articulate how much I loath that mincing little twat. And I want my fucking Dylan back.

More Evidence Submitted to Dismiss the Charges Against Kilmar Abrego
Friday night, we learned that the DOJ lied about the door being closed to Costa Rica. Mr. Abrego's lawyers feel that's enough to immediately dismiss on vindictive and selective prosecution grounds.

As someone who is this guy's age I can tell you 100% that if you were into Pixies, Nirvana, 120 Minutes stuff, etc. but didn't like the Beatles you had to have worked hard to contort yourself into that special little box. Your enemy, if you absolutely needed one, was hair metal. GTFO here with this.

Telling working-class people that dressing well is the the key to improving physical well-being isn't a funny by-product of fascism, it's part of the process.

Every Democrat who voted for this must be primaried & replaced for their cowardice. 2 hours later, tRump swooned over Zohran in the Oval & 6 hours after that Greene resigned. Stop being such fucking chickens. Let someone with some balls/ovaries take your seat so we can take our fucking country back
Too many Dems see these votes as some masterful Republican trap they can't get out of when they're really an easy opportunity to highlight the dumb crap Republicans are spending their time on instead of addressing the cost of healthcare and groceries.
BREAKING: The House of Representatives voted 285–98 in favor of a resolution condemning socialism.
Eighty-six Democrats joined Republicans in supporting the measure, including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.
