Tell me again about how Zohran Mamdani is the big threat to Jewish thriving in the US today.

Use the phrase "racially discriminatory slumlords" if you must, but you cannot deny the Trump family's rich history of providing housing to America's urban poor.
Scott Turner: "There's a lot of ideas on the table, including the 50 year mortgage. I don't think it's a matter of if I like it or if I'm for it, what matters is what makes sense for our country. President Trump and people in this administration have tremendous experience."

Yes, yes, yes. Oh God, yes.
Trump: "What the Democrats will do is make Puerto Rico a state, make DC a state, they're gonna pack the Court. They're gonna end up with more electoral votes. They're gonna end up with 4 senators. And they're gonna do this 100%."

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Federal officer blasts chemical spray into vocal but nonviolent Portland protester, video shows

The interaction illustrates how federal law enforcement officers do use aggressive tactics against protesters who yell and needle officers but don’t appear to present clear physical threats.

Understanding the practical limits in such things, I nonetheless demand that The Pitt season two be released tomorrow, with a new entire season to be released every weekend for the rest of the year.

Donald Trump is not a king!

Kings are appointed by God. Donald
Trump was appointed by the American people.

Every morning I wake up and hope that today is the day that Liverpool announces that Trent, Mo, and Virg have all signed. I just want everything to be perfect, is that too much to ask?

People don’t decorate for President’s Day any more?
tbh I think it’s a huge issue that North American/Anglo culture has this horrible stretch between January 1st and Easter of zero spirit-raising holidays with pretty decorations - that’s a lot of winter bleakness to get through

I’m sure we can blame the fucking Puritans once again
Every society that experiences winter does something in the middle of winter to cheer everyone up. It might be tied into religion, but it serves biology as well.

WaPo Fact Check:
"Darth Vader will destroy the rebel alliance." This is FALSE.

Grand Moff Tarkin actually said: "Lord Vader will provide us with the location of the rebel fortress. We will then crush the rebellion with one swift stroke." There is no indication Vader himself will order the strike.
