Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

I promise you that this version of "Merry Christmas Baby" by Bonnie Raitt and Charles Brown, who was born in Texas City and raised in Galveston, is the best Texas Christmas song you've heard this year. 😀 Listen and tell me if you agree!

Garcia: If you are a whistleblower at the FBI, at the DOJ, if you worked hard to put the files together and are seeing your work now being hidden by your own DOJ, contact the oversight committee. We have whistleblower protections.

Picking up your car from the bar the next morning isn’t a walk of shame—it’s a badge of honor. It means you made the smart call, got home safely, and kept the roads safer for everyone. Celebrate your choice, maybe with a cup of coffee.

If your house of worship is silent about the cruelty and the attacks on your neighbors by ICE, you’re at the wrong church, mosque, synagogue, temple, or gurdwara.

C’mon my fellow Americans! Wake up! This is not dignified. This is not funny... It’s downright weird.

It’s just great that we finally have an FBI Director who is able to make time to keep the American people informed with updates on the relationship he has with his girlfriend. There will never be another one like him.

There hasn’t been enough appreciation for how thoroughly BENNIE THOMPSON humiliated FBI official GLASHEEN after he tried to sell the lie that ANTIFA is the top domestic terror threat.
The claim collapsed because it’s a cover.

Not everyone is at risk of deportation. If you're the right color, have the right background, and the right ban account, you can buy your citizenship.
