This might be the best male drag performance I've ever seen.

It's giving toxic. It's giving "therapy is for the weak." It's giving "there's a male loneliness epidemic because: feminism but no, I don't check on how my friends are doing. Why do you ask?"

There are actually quite a few undocumented Russians in the US.

Anyone have any videos of ICE forcefully deporting them?

Or just the brown people?

remember in school, learning about the holocaust and talking about whether we would've been a Nazi or joined the resistance?

That's not hypothetical anymore.

Anyone who is celebrating the impending starvation, abuse, and death this bill brings can know once and for all: swastika armband for you!

In the '90s:

-"Wag the Dog" was released. It's about a film producer & a political advisor creating a fake war to distract from a presidential scandal/ tanking polls.

-Clinton sexually coerced an intern, then magically: Kosovo Crisis.

Anyway, why are we all of a sudden at war with Iran, again?

You know what job must be hard?

Whoever does the hourly cost/ benefit analysis to figure out when Trump's popularity with his cult will no longer outweigh his status as a reckless useful idiot w/ tertiary syphilis and extreme unpredictability borne of an endless need for unearned adulation.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving.

There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later.

They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

If you think the Pope is a "Woke Marxist"

1. I have some bad news about Jesus

2. You haven't read Marx's views on religion

3. You haven't read the new Pope's views on queer rights or birth control

In New York, ICE detained a busload of farmworkers that were actively involved in a union drive.

In Washington state, ICE dragged a farmworkers’ rights activist and leader out of his car to detain him.

Be warned: attacking unions is a hallmark of fascism.

In SCOTUS's 7-2 ruling stopping more kidnapped people from being sent to El Salvador, the majority justices didn't wait for Alito to write his dissent.

That's odd and suggests they didn't trust him to act in good faith, that his plan was to hold up the order until the prisoners were already gone.

By seeking to “liberate” Germans from a globalized world order, the Nazi government sent the national economy careening backwards.

Remaining quiet in turbulent times is a luxury that perceived privilege and intellectual ignorance afford. That passivity is born out of the illusion of safety.

(Trust me, none of us is safe.)
