Serious question - who is "they" in this scenario? Like I genuinely can't figure it out

Mike Johnson: "If you're a young, pregnant American citizen women who shows up in an ER and you get treated and they pay the hospital less for treating you than some illegal rabble rouser who came in from some South American country to do us harm, that is wrong."

"Katie, what's a Hitsujibungaku?" You see last year in the throes of grief I seriously considered buying concert tickets in Tokyo and making a solo trip to Japan on a month's notice just to see this band

Presidents have federalized a state's own Guard to use over its objection, most famously desegregation. And sometimes regular military has been used. But taking one state's soldiers and putting them in another state? This is a completely unprecedented breakdown of what the Union fundamentally is.

Stumbled upon a discord for people who program their private media libraries to play like cable. Like, with commercials added and everything. Suspect they might be on to something.

It's important this time of year to drink as much lapsang souchong as possible. It is the tea that tastes like autumn. Do not miss this opportunity.

I'm in two different Music Leagues and the theme for both this week is non-English language music which means I'm rocking out this morning to Selena and La Bamba

The media trots out the "deplorable" comment from a decade ago to castigate the left. Once a week now Trump implies that the military should destroy democrats, and it is just how things are.

Trump to the Navy: "We have to take care of this little gnat that's on our shoulder called the Democrats."

I’ve decided the real problem with society today is insufficient communal singing. The next time you’re together with your buddies please sing a little tune. This, I think, will fix it.

I mostly don’t, but I posted some personal news for extended family on there recently and was looking at what else is new. It’s bleek!

Look not to be lame but I keep getting Facebook ads telling me the solution to “negative self-talk” is buying edibles online and I don’t actually know if that’s in the interests of public health
