Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

Trump would do well to contemplate S. Korea’s jailed ex-president Yoon who was quickly ousted by The People’s wrath when he declared martial law.

Yoon faces life in prison—if he doesn’t get the death penalty.

This isn’t history. These events took place only months ago.

ME: Now Mom, just remember, there's a lot of disinformation and Al in your social feed and your friends' Facebook.

MOM: I know! My friend sent me this crazy post where someone used Al to make an image of a giant frog fighting Army troops!

ME: ... okay, no, that one's ... goddamit, Portland.

People have always used the veil of Christianity to justify all kinds of awfulness, which is one reason I bailed. It's a shame, because Christ was a cool dude.

🔥 COUNTRY SINGER @bryanandrewsmusic.bsky.social : "You don't get to call yourself a Christian and laugh when families are torn apart — and think it's okay that the highest court in the land just gave a green light to ICE agents to target people because they’re brown or speaking Spanish.”

I realized that The Atlantic has been going downhill for years, yet somehow this has me feeling irrationally angry.

Probably too much caffeine.

What a coincidence, The Atlantic has no value and lots of functional substitutes.

The Atlantic @theatlantic.com · 1d

Tariffs have rapidly increased the price of coffee—a drink with almost no nutritional value and lots of functional substitutes. Yet coffee may also be the one thing Americans can’t live without, @elcush.bsky.social writes:

Q: We've seen images out of Chicago of federal agents shooting faith leaders with pepper balls and arresting journalists. Where's the limit for you on what's acceptable conduct by federal agents?

MIKE JOHNSON: I've not seen them cross the line yet.

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

This is truly terrifying.

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

I'm seeing a lot of, "I'm not a believer, but..." and I'll add my voice to the chorus. I'm not a believer, but just the thought of this sends the good kind of chills through me. It would quite literally be glorious.
