“The interior department announced today new “America-first” entrance fees for national parks, commemorative annual passes featuring Donald Trump and “resident-only patriotic fee-free days for 2026” including Trump’s birthday.”

So much wrong with this paragraph and many more nuggets in the article.

That disabled person you are judging?

Chances are they are already doing far more than they “should”, to the detriment of their own health.

Chances are they are acting “fine”, to make you feel more comfortable.

Chances are they'll get home and struggle to function as a result.

I’m only watching the ALCS because the Mariners beat my guys. By “my guys” I mean the team that represents my hometown where I don’t live, and the Brewers beat the team where I do but then got smoked by the Dodgers. I only started watching in August and now damn Mariners, why y’all making me care?

If “that’s just what kids do,” then the parents of some 24- to 40-year old “boys” need to be held accountable for their disgraceful parenting. How embarrassing.

I’m shaking as I type this. F**k.
⚠️ Warning: these back-to-back scenes are hard to watch unless you’ve got a depraved heart.

These are thugs, not officers with any real training. We keep seeing it again and again, and at this point, it’s clearly the op.
