Not wild. That's why they are doing it.

Conservative Christians especially are semi protected but deeply inoculated by the racism and cruelty .

the people who have survived all the walk ip feel this way about people shocked.

They don't believe in anything but control and they have it

Absolutely wild the GOP is carrying water for a dude depicting himself as a king in a jet dumping poo on Americans.

Impossible to take anyone still standing by Trump seriously on any topic. Mike Johnson the “conservative Christian” is just cool with this at a values level, eh?

Mmmkay.

BASH: Santos pleaded guilty to defrauding constituents of hundreds of thousands of dollars, money he will no longer be required to pay back. Is the commutation acceptable to you?

BRITT: What I appreciate is President Trump's commitment to the American people. We saw disarray under President Biden.

I cannot recommend you enough to install the Wikipedia app on your devices and use it like you would any search engine. Nowadays they even have tabs so you can open many articles at once.

And, if you can, please donate to the foundation. It has survived the internet enshittification that way.

wikipedia's data shows that AI is siphoning traffic away from the site, which is a danger to its sustainability. ironically Wikipedia is more important than ever to users who want reliable information instead of slop, and to AI companies that need it for training data www.404media.co/wikipedia-sa...

The fact that Pipo-kun's family members are all depicted wearing actual clothes confirms that the Tokyo Metropolitan Police's freaky little mascot deliberately chooses to wear nothing but a seatbelt, presumably for fetish reasons.

The average monthly food stamp benefit in America is $322 per month, per household that receives said benefit.

About 42 million Americans likely will not receive their food stamps in November.

Oh, and the U.S. just gave $20 billion to Argentina.

Robert Reich @rbreich.bsky.social · 22h

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone.

Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care.

The system is broken.

Y’all here is a fun fact: Portland has a brand new volunteer organization called “operation inflation” that allows people to borrow inflatable costumes for protests. They just started a couple weeks ago and have like a 160 costume library (and counting because people keep donating).
