Wait, so the vow to surveil and intimidate Spanish-speaking Americans from the US territory of Puerto Rico at the Super Bowl came from a DHS adviser with a documented history of abuse who is reported to be in a relationship with the department secretary and staying on beyond his statutory authority?

I'm 41yo with two kids, but absolutely no medical background whatsoever. I can pronounce "acetaminophen" just fine...
It's also useful to know when to take naproxen or ibuprofen. But don't take medical advice from me BECAUSE I'M NOT A DOCTOR.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

If you believe that a white woman who is a convicted child sex abuser and trafficker is innocent and honest, but a Latino father who had to be released because they could find no evidence against him is guilty and a liar, then it isn't law & order you believe in, it's child abuse & white supremacy.

For most of the last decade, our media and political class has panicked over the idea that progressives were intruding on free speech rights by loudly criticizing people with unpopular views.
Anyway, here's far-right federal paramilitaries advertising that they'll rip down pro-immigrant messages.

Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.

The Supreme Court is out of control. To allow the president, without any explanation, to unilaterally dismantle agencies created by an Act of Congress is to endow the president with sovereignty. There is no justification, because they haven’t given one. Our country is in big trouble.

An exercise in climatological theology from the Rev Kristi Noem. Note that when wildfires strike California, this is the hand of God purging the land of atheists and sexual deviants. When floods sweep through the Texas Hill County, this is the hand of God sparing survivors from the waters.
