"But Maduro likely stole an election." Ok well Bush DEFINITELY stole an election. I don't see yall cheering for his extradition to a foreign court and the bombing of Fort Worth.

NSF is about to dismantle NCAR at Russell Vought's direction to protect the fossil fuel industry. It's hard to communicate just how much NCAR does, so let's take a look: I've never worked at NCAR, and I've worked with NCAR researchers once ever. What scientific discoveries has NCAR made possible? 👇

Black is a Presbyterian pastor who has done anti-poverty work in Chicago since 2020. He grew up in an evangelical household and went to seminary for years, he didn't pay a site online 25 dollars.
My understanding from my nun friends is he's spent most of his time working on running a free pantry.

A Newsmax host defended ICE agents shooting a minister in the head with a pepper ball by falsely claiming he was “actually an antifa member masquerading as a pastor.”

A top 50 US university yesterday fired an instructor, a department chair, and a dean because a course made some reference to transgender people without the brief official course description in the catalog saying “trigger warning: gender.”
In conclusion, those intolerant lefty kids, cancel culture.

Kansas City (and Jackson County) had its single democratic rep stolen by the republican party state dictatorship yesterday and it hardly made the news. To turn our district red, republicans redistricted KC residents to share a representative with people who live 3 hours away.

The media is completely ignoring that Brown University just agreed to a full bathroom ban and defining trans people out of existence. Even worse, when they mention it, they're describing it as a sports ban. This is not just a sports ban.
