How far we've strayed from civility! Also, a misspelling, a comma splice, and a misplaced modifying phrase, all rolled into a hostile, juvenile response.
Any journalist who has reached out to the federal government for a statement this year can attest to the unhinged responses they always get. I picked a couple of examples www.liberalcurrents.com/the-war-on-p...
![When HuffPost journalist S.V. Dáte reached out to the White House to ask who had picked Budapest for the location of the president’s recent meeting with Putin, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt replied “your mom did.” White House Communications Director Steven Cheung also responded with “your mom.” Leavitt further elaborated:
It’s funny to me that you actually consider yourself a journal [sic]. You are a far left hack who nobody takes seriously, including your colleagues in the media, they just don’t tell you that to your face. Stop texting me your disingenuous, biased, and bullshit questions.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:r75unbj372lvbim6syioaueo/bafkreidlmkzabjg5k4fxzi6ofg4356i77ftr7d7nfsamqqchwgou6h7jcq@jpeg)

If they can only see these women as mere faces, then every legislator needs to think of their own daughter or granddaughter and pretend it was she who was roped into this disgusting cabal.
“I was 14… I was 16… this was me when I met Epstein… there are thousands of us… time to let the secrets out of the shadows”
Powerful ad from survivors ahead of a vote to tell us where each House rep stands on protecting kids vs protecting pedophiles.

It seems that if you join any social media and start following people, you should at least make one original post to start the ball rolling.

Yeah, I read a first-person acct of a woman who pestered away two masked men in an unmarked vehicle casing an elementary school. They said they were ICE. Two unidentified adults. Hanging around a school. Watching kids.

Maybe the Dems should nominate a dead person for the 2028 presidential race!
Elected Democrats spending more time today praising Dick Cheney than Zohran Mamdani is a great case study in abject fucking moral failure.

It says something about society that when adding a contact on my mobile, I have to scroll down past various entries—cell, another cell, email, another email, groups, work info—to get to home address. As if we never visit one another or write to one another anymore. #Friendship

"If you go to London right now, it is largely Muslim. Women are completely covered up." Wow. She puts the "bull" in "hyper-bull-ee"!
Mamdani’s family moved to NYC when he was seven, went to grade school & high school there. He literally represented Astoria in the state assembly for years. I think he’s figured it out by now.
So here's Andrew Cuomo reacting to Maria Bartiromo wondering if Mamdani will "change the look of New York" and have Muslim women "completely covered up," telling her that Mamdani "doesn't understand New York culture" because he has "dual citizenship" and "he's a citizen of Uganda."

I truly suffered bc of yellow tape around a memorial. But the lack of SNAP funding is fun! All these kids and their families can enjoy pretending it's Lent or Ramadan or Intermittent Fasting or a Hunger Strike! For the duration! But thank god T*rump didn't put yellow tape around a memorial, tho.
We did it. We finally found the limits of executive-power accounting.
Q: Should the White House now be able to find some funding for the SNAP program since they've done it for all those other ones?
MIKE JOHNSON: They certainly tried

Omg yes. Aunts and uncles all over the place. Any cousin who's a generation older than you is an aunt or uncle. As are close friends of my parents. We all know this is about something else.
Speaking as a dude who has a yearly family reunion, "aunt" and "uncle" fill a role, what the fuck are you supposed to call all those other older people you're vaguely related to, do you think there's someone running around with an org chart saying who's a second cousin thrice removed or something
lmao

The elections are rigged. Oh wait, unless Republicans win. Then they're not rigged. It's as simple as that.
The seeds are being planted to rig the midterms. It’s becoming more explicit.
