It still amazes me how many people assume that diversity means unqualified, and yet can't see what that says about their mode of thinking.

Love that Chicago is getting in on the Portland humor bandwagon! Hard to say it’s a warzone when this is happening!

Amazing

Right-wingers literally straight-up admitting "it's harder to discredit the left because the left is almost always telling the truth"
Scott Jennings @Lum 21h um, yes, that's really a problem

The problem with left-leaning media is they're intrinsically more strict with their propaganda to only using verifiable sources so it's really hard to poke holes in their ideology and arguments in comparison to a lot of low quality rightwing content.
That makes attacking their points with fact checkers not very effective unless the fact checkers use misinformation tactics as well.
In essence people on the right have to work harder and more creatively to push their agendas as statistics and studies frustratingly arent usually on our side.

Donald Trump gets a golf course resort in Qatar and a $400MILLION jet as a gift from Qatar.

Qatar gets a military base in Idaho ON US SOIL!

Sounds like Qatar and Donald Trump are winning, while Americans are losing everything from homes to health insurance.

Today is National Coming Out Day!

It's also Freedom to Read Day, aka the last day of Banned Books Week.

This feels right — because the main reason they try to ban books is to keep people from dreaming they could ever come out.

The judge expressed frequent frustrations with the Trump administration, saying it had presented a “totally inconsistent” case to keep the Maryland man in immigration detention.

US says Qatar to build air force facility in Idaho

Here’s what Qatar gets for a “free” plane and paying consulting fees to Pam Bondi. Can you say “Traitors”?

This. MAGA is looking more idiotic and foolish by the hour. Like baboons looting a cornfield.

Pam Bondi gets uglier with every clip of her I see. People lying...when everyone knows they are lying...yet they do it anyway...they're the most repulsive thing you can ever see. That feeling of being repulsed...and what you are looking at...when you feel that way...fuse... permanently.

There it is: $20 billion for Argentina at the same time they’re taking markets away from our farmers.

But no $ for health insurance for Americans?

Unbearably violent images from Downtown Chicago where a classical music concert was played on the Chicago River. This is too elegant and magical to be seen.
