Agree. Plus the question isn’t how to pronounce ANTIFASCIST, it’s how to pronounce ANTIFA. The sound of the first word does not control that of the second. Plus, since Antifa is a made-up, nonexistent organization, we should be able to make up the pronunciation of its name. I vote for FROG POWER.

While Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report has a horrible title, it is a important tool that has been around for 100 years. It publishes data on a bunch of communicable diseases and is how scientists track the outbreak and spread of disease in the country. it was vital in our response to AIDS.

Darth, Epstein made his fortune laundering money for bad guys. While the Epstein files may prove Trump had sex with underage girls, Trump’s real fear is the files show the illegal origin of his money and document his criminal activities. That’s what he is hiding. The sex stuff is minor (ha ha).

Hit and run is a crime. People have Nazi's license plate. Chicago police should just impound the car.

This man in Austin scours thrift stores all year to collect Halloween costumes for kids. Christophe Waggoner mends and repairs each garment and wig, and then each year he hosts an event for kids to pick out a free Halloween costume.

Will Trump enforce his EO on anti-semitism on the Qatari base in Idaho?

Steve Middlebrook @stmdc.bsky.social · 1d

If the US military won’t support Trump when he ignores election results and appoints himself dictator-for-life, Trump will now be able to turn to the Qatari military for help.

P.S. Canada should take this seriously. Trump wants a 51st state.

Except a money laundering operation is supposed to hide the origin of the proceeds of crime. This isn’t hiding anything. It’s so obviously corrupt.

This is super cute. I think the new Washington Post has found its calling. It should just do animal videos and leave coverage of economic, political, and social issues to real journalists with ethics.

They are kinda of cute when they blink.
The other night, I had to fight the urge to grab one, put it in the car, drive it out to the woods, and release it where it can roam freely with others of its species.
