Mark Kelly: "This president, when he says things like 'third world countries,' what is he really saying? I think what he's saying is he doesn't want brown people in our country. And that's disturbing. It's un-American."

The pentagon papers were leaked changing history. I don’t get why the Epstein files are so protected. Seems like there would be someone out there that would leak them.

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.
McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.
Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.
See the problem?

No child should go hungry simply because their parents are immigrants. As mayor, I’ll join @newyorkstateag.bsky.social in using every lever of government for the families who fear if they can afford tomorrow’s meals.

Federal immigration enforcement officials called off a planned raid on Canal Street today shortly before it was slated to begin.
New Yorkers who heard about the raid showed up at the garage where the feds had gathered, and as federal agents tried to leave, the NYPD cleared the way for them.

Everyone knows they released those unredacted Epstein Files with victims names so they can say they "need more time" to redact and release more right? It was to "prove" their point that releasing the files doesn't protect the victims. And everyone is falling for it because of they are.

Hollywood worked VERY hard for this to be the dominant view in the US.
I just had a dude argue that war crimes don't apply during war, and I just don't know if our country can survive this level of stupid.

Nah, I can confirm that how bread looks is far less important than whether it's satisfyingly crunchy on the outside and fluffy inside and yours look perfect.
Ok, they’re ugly because I can’t shape rolls to save my life, but they turned out yummy. Made them into Bobbies with leftovers.

This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat
We must get big money out of politics.
It is the root of our dysfunction.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975)
After listening to the sound track all day, I had to rewatch it.
Brad and Janet run into trouble on their honeymoon - a flat tire, and the only place in sight is the castle of the lovely Dr. Frank-N-Furter.
Don't be shy-who else loves this movie?
