It's like squares and rectangles. All squares are rectangles not all rectangles are squares.

Yep, they are fascist, but that doesn't make every act a fascist act. Is eating breakfast fascist if a fascist does it?

I am not finding any photos of me with it, but my protest sign for all of Trump 1.0 just said "SHITHOLE PRESIDENT" on one side.

It's nice of him to make it relevant again, but truly, I wish he didn't.

I'm really glad to see I'm not the only one who fact checks every meme I see.

Truly, I miss people providing original sources/links rather than wasting time making memes that usually are only semi-accurate.

It's hard to condense an article into a meme, so just post the source content.

Many people have been cowed and they're udderly afraid of mooving against the fascist cowpokes on the right.

If I has his money to afford the medical care most people will need before they reach 100, sure. I'm fairly optimistic that people alive today could live incredibly long lives... if they can afford to.

What's truly sad is this isn't even the first person that has happened to.
Michigan State University student: I survived Sandy Hook, now this shooting
Jackie Matthews posted on TikTok that she has lived through two mass shootings, Sandy Hook in Newtown, Connecticut and now Michigan State University.

It also 100% is the real word of the year after "67," a number, being declared word of the year.

Is tuna sandwich the color of the year? Is green the smell of the year?

Words used to mean things and a number isn't a word.

So I'm very okay with "rage bait" actually being the word of the year.

Also, feel free to remind them that the concept of Santa was likely based on hallucinogenic mushroom shamans.

Jesus also likely was a mushroom shaman.
Is Santa Based on a Psychedelic Shaman?
Some academics and mycologists offer an alternative Christmas origin story—one of a mushroom-toting healer from the Arctic.

They also probably don't like the fact that, because he was originally Turkish, there is almost no chance Santa Claus was white.

I'm a born US citizen and I still deleted photos, removed apps, and logged out of all social media accounts before coming home from a business trip to Canada this last summer.

Since I work in the cannabis industry and I'm a journalist all they had to do was Google me to make my life difficult.

I appreciated Stephen Colbert's take: Now for the first time millions of Australian children will go outside, get bit by something, and die.

The blood will be on those politician's hands!

It's like if someone tried to clone Palin but swapped out some of the DNA for Mountain Dew, like a redneck Jurassic Park.

It's like the family dog saying "I'm going to have to lick all this pie off the floor to get it clean," after the same dog just knocked the pie off the table.

Thanks for making a mess buddy.
