My wildest, craziest fantasy is that they won’t just be cowering in the darkness again within my lifetime.

I want them to face real consequences. I want the Nazis to hurt. I want every far-right extremist currently posting openly about their bigotry to never again know a moment’s peace.
there are more of us than there are of them and we will scare the nazis back into cover of darkness in my lifetime

I didn't like him before, but when I saw how "Dr." Phil exploited and treated the late Shelley Duvall, I actually began to loathe him.

McGraw is a greasy, opportunistic, con man asshole.

few blunter symbols of climate barbarism than the Dawn commercial that promotes how it can safely clean ducks who've been deluged by oil spills, sans any suggestion that not offshore drilling in the first place would help

Purple tea! Yes there’s such a thing as purple tea - and we just got a delivery of this delightful new strain of tea! 🍃

Originating from Kenya, this purple tea is indeed camellia sinensis but has less caffeine than green tea, and yes it’s actually PURPLE! 💜

“Ah, just one more thing, sir. You’re blowing up those boats, saying they’re filled with drugs headed for the US. But then you go and pardon the guy who brought in 400 tons of cocaine. That’s billions of doses. Help me understand that.”

As you’re preparing for your Thanksgiving meal, remember the skilled work it took to get that food to your grocery store.
