People who have never spent a minute in the environs of UK - particularly Scottish social media - will be in a tizzy over that word. I don't use it, but it's not a hateful word so I just let it go. Also, that meme is hilarious.

A Giant FU to Missouri's Republican Gov. Mike Kehoe, for announcing yesterday that he was calling for a Special Legislative Session, that will include redrawing the State's Congressional Map. We’re inching closer towards the first OPENLY rigged Midterm Election.

Corporate America’s playbook: 1) Exploit workers to maximize profits 2) Use profits to buy Congress 3) Use Congress to pass union-busting laws 4) Use these laws to further exploit workers 5) Repeat Let's break the cycle and keep building back a powerful labor movement.
Republicans keep saying the $1 trillion in Medicaid cuts are only cutting “waste fraud and abuse”… and yet not a single arrest. Funny how that works!
Fuck!
Google just sucks any more. I asked for LIVE News. LIVE being the key word here.
I'll never be able to thank you enough for taking us along for the journey.
Every day, in hospitals and doctor’s offices and clinics and in homes, nurses are there for us. That’s why I’m so grateful for the endorsement of Nurses for America – and so determined to stand with them against attacks on our healthcare system, and to build one worthy of their strength and care.
On the one hand, Trump keeps boasting about the “respect” he commands abroad. On the other hand, France’s Macron is talking about Putin “once again” playing Trump, foreign officials are taunting the White House, and polls show Trump’s global standing in the toilet. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...
Charles Borges, the chief data officer at the Social Security Administration, resigned Friday — days after filing a whistleblower complaint alleging DOGE employees had uploaded a copy of the entire country's Social Security information to a "vulnerable cloud environment”

LMFAO! 👏👏👏👏👏
Spoiler alert: Dobson will rot in hell.
The clearest picture of corporate greed in this country is CEO-to-worker pay ratios. At the 100 lowest-paying major US companies, CEO pay averaged $17.2M in 2024. Median worker pay at these companies was just $35,570. That’s a ratio of 632 to 1. How can anyone defend this?
I'm really liking the judges who uphold the Constitution.
To understand JD Vance, You need to meet the “TheoBros.” These extremely online young Christian men want to end the 19th Amendment, restore public flogging, and make America white again.
"National Security" was the same argument our government used 80 years ago to justify the immoral internment of people of Japanese descent at this very military base. It was wrong then, it’s wrong now.
Excellent! Crispy Gnome is always on the dark side of everything.

Socialism for me, but not for thee… 2019 Trump — vowed America “will never be a socialist country.” 2025 Trump administration — shaking down Intel for a 10% stake in exchange for converting government grants that were already pledged under Biden.

Red states rely on the money from Blue states to function. This can all be over the second Democratic governors actually wield their power.
My personal boycott of Target remains in place. My new-ish Costco membership has already paid for itself. Target should have listened to the experts on fascism. Their shoppers certainly did. We do not obey in advance.

The President of the United States is accusing an unnamed government official of deliberately falsifying official reports on crime. That's a pretty big accusation! Certainly a scandal, maybe even a crime. Anyone want to press him to provide some, you know, proof?
Obviously, Cheezus prefers "cloaked" history.
Hell yes!
NEW: A federal judge dismissed a lawsuit filed by the Oklahoma State Department of Education against our client, the Freedom from Religion Foundation, in retaliation for their political advocacy. This is a win for the First Amendment. The government can't punish organizations for their speech.

Dubbed the trial of the century, in 1925 we challenged Tennessee's ban on teaching evolution in the famous Scopes "Monkey Trial." Hear more about 100-year-long fight to keep religious doctrine out of public education on the newest episode of At Liberty.

The road to authoritarianism is littered with people telling you you’re overreacting.
Great to catch up with Cincinnati teachers, filling them in on the outrageous attack on their voices and votes on the state pension fund they built and that they rely on. If the Ohio politicians think this is over—and that their $100B heist worked—they are in for a rude awakening.
important stats: violent crime rate in DC has dropped dramatically in last few years. And DC violent crime rate is lower than the following cities: Indianapolis, Wichita, Baton Rouge, St. Louis, Cleveland, Tulsa, Memphis, Nashville, and Houston. GOP/Trump aren't talking anything about red states.

The Washington Post is the only reason I dropped Prime and started shopping at Temu. Fuck Bezos.
Wow.
What especially infuriates me about this story is that a local community in a red state thoughtfully discussed the issue of trans youth using restrooms, decided to approve it, and then, the state overruled them. Now, the community loses a local business and a happy family.

I have been the subject of many spurious accusations and politically motivated attacks, but this one is in a class by itself. According to Tulsi Gabbard — the nation’s top intelligence official — my refusal to post on Twitter is being reviewed by the Department of Justice as evidence of wrongdoing.

Political parties should never draw districting lines. It's like letting the fox design the security system for the chicken coop. It is anti-Democracy to the core.
