The 73-year-old football coach dating a 24-year-old just used the phrase “there’s no pill you can take” in reference to fixing poor tackling in his team’s debut, and I am intensely uncomfortable.
For being a corrupt, disbarred attorney who spread lies?
ICE's first round was literally Latin men with elaborate tattoos, for gangbanger porn on Fox News. It's only a matter of time before they start making lampshades

Trump spent Labor Day promoting what he called a “Golden Age,” but the claims being pushed don’t hold up. The White House circulated talking points on social media boasting of $8 trillion in new tariff revenue, $4 trillion in deficit reduction,
Someone donated this gorgeous work of art for our upcoming Craft Fair for Gaza taking place on Sunday 9/7 from noon to 6 pm. You can pick this up then. Thanks to the amazing people donating items for the fundraiser!
No idea what this Oval Office announcement is. Could be resigning Could be apologizing because Stephen Miller molted all over the Residence and someone caught staff dumping the exuviae out of the window Could be clarifying that tariff revenue is really eleventy three trillion

I’m not sure you can actually call another country weak if yours got taken over by a genocidal game show host. Threats to humanity are threats to humanity no matter their effectiveness.
and Graham Greene was an exquisite, out-of-place character in the NYC setting of Die Hard: With a Vengeance. He represented the city's polyglot culture without being any of the other standard NYC minorities, who were represented too.

I just saw an article that said a CEO that stole a hat from a kid at a tennis event was the most hated man in America. I feel like that's forgeting someone.

NEW -- Exactly 10 days after taking the oath early this year, Donald Trump nearly drowned dozens, potentially hundreds, of his own citizens in California’s Central Valley. Why? Because he is one of the most ignorant people you will ever meet. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

A local diner was raided by ICE and 14 people were kidnapped, and most of the locals seem more concerned with where they're going to get their hashbrowns than with anything else. Unfriendly reminder that immigrants, refugees, asylum seekers and migrants don't owe you labor to deserve respect.

Taking away or raising the cost of healthcare is not politically popular, and even some of the people doing it are realizing that
This past week has been pretty crazy, but I'm so glad I have managed to connect/reconnect to some really cool people. And I'm so thankful for my friends that make me laugh to the point of suffering 💀❤️
Sidewalks are, maybe not a surprise to anyone who follows me, are about…you guessed it! Racism! www.popsci.com/politics-ver...
They can't cover things that are antagonistic to the interests of their owners... & also they support what Trump is doing.
This is why I think he’s ill, but wi recover. MAGA leaks like the Titanic. If he was really gone they would race to cash in on that.

Example of how Chicago is a kickass city: The Chicago cultural center is open & free to the public, & it doesn’t have any monuments to traitors who fought to keep slavery, but it does have a quote by Frederick Douglass, & The Grand Army Of The Republic Hall. Chicago reminds everyone of who won.
"The West" is obviously a euphemism for "white people"

I bet the White House staff is busy setting up a bunch of cardboard cutouts in the Oval Office like in Home Alone
EVs cut brake dust by 83% thanks to regenerative braking. That means cleaner air at pedestrian crossings, bus stops, and bike lanes. Exhaust pipes aren’t the only source, brakes matter too, even if they almost never wear out on an #EV Could this reshape how we measure urban pollution?

Hours after trying to assassinate the EU Commission president, Russia tried to assassinate Germany’s military's inspector general, Carsten Breue, the highest-ranking general in the Bundeswehr. His plane was also jammed once over the Baltic Sea and once over Lithuania.

I think that it started with Rush Limbaugh who showed greedy media moguls that there was money to be made by lying to gullible audiences.
Toni Morrison said, “I get up early in the morning, and I go to work. And minor ecstasies have to do with gardening and friends on the phone. Very ordinary and very delightful… I don't ski or climb mountains. The most spectacular thing in the world is my mind.” The simple life. ❤️
Right and yet these same religious bigots would be screaming blue murder if workplaces banned employees from wearing jewellery or other iconography associated with their religion. How is that *not* indoctrination but displaying inclusivity is?
Congrats on your regime propaganda, ABC News.
It kills me how often I have listen to people claim that Putin is a brilliant mastermind while watching some of the idiocy of Russian government’s policies. Tell me again how Putin showing up at the SCO is some major diplomatic feat while ignoring that Russia can’t grow enough potatoes 🙄
In 1969, the Black Panthers launched free breakfast programs across the US, feeding thousands of kids before school. The FBI called it a threat. In some cities, police raided kitchens, smashed food, and urinated on supplies to shut them down www.reddit.com/r/RareHistor...

Concern over low birth rates was what the theocracy in Margaret Atwood’s Handmaid’s Tale used to come to power.

I don’t believe Rudy Giuliani was helping a “domestic violence victim” before his car crash. Not for one second.
This rings true to things I’ve witnessed and read. We cannot blame individuals for systematic failures but we should be able to acknowledge group based status behaviors as reinforcing those systemic failures.

my friends’ kid is 9 and likes wearing bellbottoms and has his ears pierced. My kids adore him and have never once asked me about his pants or earrings or pink jacket. Why did another parent straight up ask me if this kid is gay? I ignored her. What kind of weirdo??? Who the fuck cares???? He’s 9!

Republicans want to do this if: she's "too good" at sports, too tall, too broad-shouldered, her hair is too short, her voice is too low, her feet are too big, she's too muscular (the list goes on). Republicans want to go in the girls' locker room. Trans girls just want to go on the field.
