Things getting worse is the status quo.

The hope that things can and will get better is what we live and work for. Being a doomer won’t bring about the positive change we yearn for.

By “Law” they mean the ability to shoot whoever they want for whatever reason

By “Order” they mean you’re too afraid to stand up to them

The FBI’s investigation into the killing of Renee Good is completed after Kash Patel uploaded the video to twitter with the caption “@Grok was this legal?”

“We Weaponize the Incompetent” should be the new tagline of ICE.
This morning in Minneapolis, an ICE vehicle got stuck on an icy hill in a residential neighborhood. Agents had to push the vehicles out, some almost slipping in the ice themselves.

The citizenry has a right to record government officials in the execution of their duties. Renee Good was not making their job harder.

This man swore an oath to defend and uphold the constitution, and instead is using the first amendment to wipe stains off his couch.
You can tell things are going well when the VP is tweeting through it.

“Not create rhetoric that emboldens people to actually push back”

It’s amazing to hear such empowering words from our country’s leadership in a tragic moment of fuckup by our government.
Sen. Katie Britt: "The left has got to top. They've got to be more responsible, and you have to stand shoulder to shoulder with the people who are here to keep us safe."

I think it’s a good plan, but we need to go bigger.

Instead of just Costco or Sam’s Club members, maybe everyone in a particular state… OR everyone in the country? I don’t Rand is dreaming big enough.
Rand Paul: "My plan is this -- let people on the Obamacare market, which is about 4% of America, a small number of people, let them buy their insurance through Costco, Sam's Club, Amazon ... "

If shaking hands is causing you bodily harm, it’s time to work on your hand shaking technique.
Q: Can you explain what's going on with the bandages on Trump's hand?

LEAVITT: We've given you an explanation. The president is literally constantly shaking hands.

I watched this video twice and saw zero eyepatches, not even a parrot. This administration doesn’t even know how to pirate correctly.

Vance would charge his neighbors interest on the borrowed sugar.
Getting the feeling JD Vance googled “how do human neighbors interact?” and landed on “borrow a cup of sugar.” What year is it??

PSA: dirty martinis are gross.

I truly don’t believe people enjoy them, I believe they ‘think’ they’re supposed to enjoy them.

This just in - giving money to people who don’t have enough money helps them survive, be healthy, and be successful.
A program in Flint, MI, gave $1,500 to any/all pregnant people and $500/month for the first year of their infant’s life.

Among the benefits, those babies experienced lower rates of prematurity and low birth weight, which resulted in fewer NICU admissions, saving the city of Flint $6.2 million/year.

“New study finds that having access to food is healthy for people”
Older adults who participated in SNAP had a slower rate of cognitive decline than people who were eligible for the anti-hunger program but didn’t receive benefits, according to a study presented Wednesday.
Federal food assistance program may slow cognitive decline, study suggests
New research links receiving food assistance through SNAP to better brain health. Earlier this month, Trump enacted major cuts to the program.

A note that not enough people talk about is how Peter Thiel hijacked so much of LOTR mythology for right wing ideologies.

I just want a good story man, no need to ruin it with bad politics.
