Next year, is 2026. 250 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776. The MAGAs will absolutely want to own the narrative and define patriotrism in America.

Online age verification isn't the same as a quick ID flash: it's surveillance. These systems collect your data and undermine your ability to anonymously access and discuss sensitive topics online. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

You should be embarrassed for writing this dreck. It’s not up to you to decide how much antiblackness Cinnabon customers should be forced to endure because you feel sorry for some dumb white broad who couldn’t keep her racist opinions to herself. Shame on you.

I wrote about why we should not celebrate someone losing their job, especially in today’s America, even when they’ve done terrible racist things.
Losing a job should also be harder and involve workers’ bodies not unilateral management decisions.

Why the Cinnabon Story Doesn’t Make Me Happy
The left should be promoting working-class solidarity, not delighting in seeing workers summarily dismissed.

Citizenship is not an "honor and privilege" to be granted and taken away at the pleasure of the dictator. It is a legal right. Do not let them get away with recasting citizenship as a privilege. This is the language of dictatorship.

Why is WAPO writing up anyone’s speculation about who the suspect might be?
I get that Laura’s statements and actions are at times newsworthy given her influence on Trump, but no one’s speculation — outside of a government official’s — should be written up this way.

Last Thanksgiving, two Dallas Police officers knocked on my door, citing a tip from the FBI national threat operations center that I was beating my girlfriend. The incident report confirms this. Today, I obtained a file from the FBI via FOIA that states the FBI has no record of receiving such a tip.

It should NEVER be up to survivors to demand justice since they've gotten less than none.
Yet, they've courageously risen to the occasion, speaking out in solidarity against the very system that keeps retraumatizing them.
Like most who've experienced gender-based violence, I'm grateful they are.

It's a damn good thing nobody can lie in email, so we can take every email Epstein said at 100% face value. This is why I tell my elderly parents to go ahead and give their bank passwords to that Nigerian Prince, Bill Gates, and Elon Musk.

Nancy Mace keeps insisting Trump "protects" women, even as she voted to release the Epstein files.
This is incoherent, but her nonsense reflects a deeper dilemma facing all Republican women: keeping up their delusions about Trump.
