“There’s a baby!”

Guns drawn. Windows smashed. With a 1 month old in the car. (They did this as he was coming home from an immigration court appointment— which is illegal in Colorado: coloradosun.com/2025/10/01/i...)

And yet every time I bring it up, there are Americans in the comments aggressively asserting that they will never help with an effort like this, because bullshit reasons.

Did Pete Hegseth seriously summon all the top military brass just to say “no fatties?”

In hindsight, I wish there was this level of outrage for PBS rather than Jimmy Kimmel, but whatever works.

Folks, you can't report the United States to its manager. There's no superhero coming to save us.

We don't need one giant act of heroism. We need millions of small acts of solidarity. Help one person in your community for nothing in return. Then, do it again. And again.

That's the revolution.

the kimmel thing is bad but as long as they arent rounding people up indiscriminately based on race, building concentration camps and talking about eradicating those they deem sexual deviants, i think we’ll be ok

“Dear Jeffrey Epstein,
You are a pedophile, and i admire how pedophilic you are.
With love,
Your Bestest Friend”

If I had kids, I would have a much harder time explaining why Snoop became a bootlicking homophobe than explaining why 2 lesbians have a baby.

James Dobson is a good reminder that shitty people eventually die.

I'm sad about James Dobson. He had no right making it to 89.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

It’s so weird to hear commercials say things like “liberate yourself with a new sofa” while we spiral into a totalitarian hellscape.

Colorado Springs showed the fuck up today. I’ve heard estimates of 9,000- which is a big deal because the city is pretty red.
