Can someone just clip that "we took the freedom of speech away" part and run it on a loop over video of ICE agents beating up innocent people? Those will be our midterm ads?

A sure sign that things are going good for your conservative administration is when one of your Cabinet heads is fighting with a veteran country music star on Twitter.

I love that in the same post it's suggested that only effeminate men live in cities, but also there's tons of crime that these tough guy f-250-with-a-punisher-decal driving alphas can't handle but the metropolitan little soy boys apparently are fine with?

Literally the only people who talked about Floyd's character were those on the right who tried to suggest his murder wasn't a big deal because of his criminal record and/or drug us. No one on the BLM side tried to lionize him, they simply said he (and those like him) didn't deserve murder.

Before you fall asleep poorly tonight, slow down to enjoy one of my cutest videos of Baby Bird Season 2025. It doesn't get much better than this 🥰 🪶
