They just use them as props and toy soldiers to push around for someone’s ego

Again deporting Puerto Rican people is stupid because they're literally U.S. citizens.

Both not soon enough, & at the same time don’t want to happen yet. I want the Dems to have the house so if anything happens to him & Vance at the same time, we have a dem in the office. Afraid of what the christian nationalist speaker would do.

we gotta stop using “democratic run” or “blue cities” and start saying donald trump is invading “american cities”

President Trump is bucking tradition and legal precedent in pushing to deploy the National Guard to Democratic-led cities like Portland, Oregon, and Chicago due to what he says is rampant crime and to support his crackdown on illegal immigration.

now that the news is official: some thoughts on Bari Weiss taking over at CBS News, and what it means that the Free Press—a publication that never apologizes or corrects itself when its "reporting" is ripped to shreds—is touted as a needed dose of "trust and integrity" slate.com/technology/2...

CBS Is About to Hand Over Its Newsroom to an Anti-Woke Crusader. You Should Be Worried.

She’s made a career railing against “wokeness.” Now she’s in charge of a venerated newsroom.

Got a tip recently about how Trump's tariffs are preventing libraries from sharing books, and causing their loaned books to get stuck or lost in other countries: www.404media.co/libraries-ca...

Libraries Can’t Get Their Loaned Books Back Because of Trump’s Tariffs

Libraries have shared their collections internationally for decades. Trump’s tariffs are throwing that system into chaos and can ‘hinder academic progress.’

We’re gonna attempt to rework it, which sounds cool.

The boys took to it very quickly, and they were trying to climb on it as I was building it. Anastasia took a little bit more time, and that wasn’t until this morning after I put the pillow underneath.

We have a lot of memories with that one because we had gotten it for Drew and Sakura when we move back into apartments. It was the first piece of furniture bought, and it was not for us lol. That was purely on my husband‘s decision.😁

A new cat tree for the living room. The cat tree that was there is now in our bedroom. And the one that we thought we were getting rid of, is now in the spare room with the litter box.

That one is so torn out there, barely any carpet on it, but it is solid wood, unlike the new one.

perhaps the biggest story TFPever ran was a catastrophically shoddy argument that George Floyd ackshully died of an overdose. When confronted with irrefutable evidence that the piece was simply wrong, Weiss didn’t take it down, she asked her critic, @radleybalko.bsky.social, to come on a podcast.
