Well that's creepy AF but it's also begging to have glasses and false eyelashes drawn on it.
omg
There are as many reasons for being homeless as there are homeless people. That's why it's such a challenging social issue. I've actually worked with the unhoused. The stereotype of the "Skid Row wino" doesn't even touch the surface. So many unhoused don't fit the stereotype.

EVERY time we come together with protests, marches, etc. something comes along to divide us. This is CLASSIC political manipulation. Hell, it goes back to Sun Tzu: "Where your enemy is united, divide them." We were united in 2024 until the Gaza "genocide Joe" shit started. Learn to recognize it!
The left's biggest problem isn't being too moderate, too angry, too this or too that. It's that bad actors, manipulators, shit-stirrers and online trolls consistently DIVIDE us into factions, which prevents us from reaching that 3.5 Percent benchmark to successfully overthrow MAGA.
"traditional Democrats failed to realize that it’s not enough to point out a transgressive candidate’s shortcomings. You have to offer voters something better. And few Democrats seem to be able to do that." Really? Republicans just pander to their base's racism, misogyny and bigotry. Seems to work.
More like this, please.
The NYT did 10 stories, 3 of which appeared on the front page, about Hillary Clinton's pneumonia. Most appeared over 2 days. FFS. What the hell is wrong with them.
This was the Cracker Barrel logo from when it was founded in 1969 until 1977. If we’re talking about “heritage.” logos.fandom.com/wiki/Cracker...
FFS. What a bunch of clowns. This is 2000-era RW messaging. It reached its most ridiculous level here in Tennessee, when our crackpot Republican state legislators mistook a new janitor's mop sink for a "Sharia foot washing station." CAN'T MAKE THIS SHIT UP: www.cbsnews.com/news/mop-sin...

O'Neill ran some of Peter Thiel's hedge funds and his "scholarship" program which encouraged students to drop out of school. Imagine a SCHOLARSHIP program that requires you to drop out of college. Peter Thiel is a particularly nefarious figure. He needs to be put on one of Elon's rockets to Mars.

Right. In fact, he has a BA and MA in ... "Humanities." I don't even know what a Masters in Humanities entails. But he has no public health expertise, none. Jim O'Neill is a MARKETING guy. A MESSAGING guy. PR. He wrote speeches for the HHS secretary under Bush. But he's also a Peter Thiel guy:
This is nothing else but a hybrid war that Russia wages against Europe Let's name things as they really are:Russia has made an assassination attempt of the President of the European Commission Russia has been jamming GPS-signals over many Eastern Europe countries that are in its immediate vicinity
I have some questions. Also, why would anyone "like" this post?
"It took Donald Trump one summer to obliterate these gains." www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/o...
OMG THANK YOU. Yes, I remember that. And remember when Karl Rove said she was wearing "head injury glasses" and had suffered a "traumatic brain injury"? www.politifact.com/factchecks/2...
Not too long ago, whenever there was a natural disaster in the world, the people of the United States were there bringing help, medical aid, disaster assistance, and helping to rebuild. Under the guise of USAID, we were there in a nation's darkest hour. Not anymore. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/w...
"Heritage" is an old white guy in a rocking chair? It's the same shit we've been fighting about for 160 years. White vs brown, rural vs urban, ag vs industrial. Why can't everyone agree that we need ALL kinds for the American experiment to work? No one is ERASING your heritage by changing a logo.
Mmmhmm .... Happy Labor Day, Sean O'Brien. How it started, how it's going:

We must not let anyone forget what happens after, AFTER the 2026 midterms. H.R.1 will be in play the day after the results of the midterms come in. Make sure you vote for your own security and welfare.
LOL.
Not all heroes wear capes.
This right here. Where is my front page NYT story? Or literally ANY mainstream media outlet? Are they waiting for it to be too late? hartmannreport.com/p/forget-law...
Los Angeles has survived earthquakes, deadly wildfires, riots, mudslides and flooding. I think the city can handle day laborers, dishwashers and landscapers working hard for pennies to provide services no one else wants to do.
We still have a United States Geological Survey? Well that's good to know.

Stephen King is wrong about one thing: it won't take 30 years for people to deny ever voting for him. They'll be doing it in 1 years, just like so many denied ever supporting the Iraq War.

It is believed famed TN sheriff Buford Pusser, the character who inspired the "Walking Tall" movies, actually abused his wife and murdered her in 1967. He had always claimed that she was murdered as retribution. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

"It’s worth knowing that COVID tracking data is less reliable now because of COVID funding cuts by the Trump administration." MAHA is a fraud. It's just a slogan. A fucking hashtag. It's not healthcare or even health policy. RFJr. says one thing and Trump does another. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Tennessee won’t do anything like this, I bet, they want us all to die.
New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!
That's the marketing campaign of one of our largest hospitals. It's why I refuse to go to Ascension St. Thomas. Using faith in this way is so cheap and tacky for one thing. It also implies a bunch of faith healing and snake oil, not actual medical care. healthcare.ascension.org/blog/2025/06...
So can we go to Illinois for our Covid vaccines AND our cannabis? This "every state for themselves" BS is NOT what our Founder's intended.
"What does it mean? Who knows? Who cares?" We all should. The malignant narcissist is at his most dangerous when he's backed into a corner and failing. I said from day 1 Trump would fire a nuke unless someone stops him. Bring on the men in white coats. steveschmidt.substack.com/p/necrotizin...

What's weird is that when I go to the grocery store in the U.S., I don't see U.S. berries, I see Mexican berries and Canadian berries.
Dems always EXPAND power to minority groups. We open up seats at the table. GOP always does the opposite. Trump takes it a step further, actively removing POC, trans, women, etc. from power and attacking those he can't force out, such as Mayors Bass and Bowser. It's a white supremacist worldview.
Oh, gee thanks for noticing, Sherlock. We've been saying for months now that Trump is implementing a White supremacist agenda. Removing people of color, especially black women and trans people, from positions of power.
My visit to the Poland-Belarus border was a demonstration of European solidarity. A strong Poland and a strong Europe, safeguarding our borders and protecting all Europeans. Our message is clear. And it is one that Belarus, and other actors in the region, are paying heed to.
My name is Graham Platner and I’m running for US Senate to defeat Susan Collins and topple the oligarchy that’s destroying our country. I’m a veteran, oysterman, and working class Mainer who’s seen this state become unlivable for working people. And that makes me deeply angry.
* would not
Much as I wish it were true, there is no way in hell that JD Vance would just sit back and let the world think Trump is dead. He is salivating for that gig. So no, Trump is not dead. He’s still very much alive and wreaking havoc.
Honestly, it doesn't matter. The entire world heard the Access Hollywood tape 2 weeks before the 2016 election, and didn't matter one bit. We've had how many years of his fraud and grift. It hasn't mattered. Kompromat only works if people care. MAGA is a cult. They don't care what he's done.
Or keep them out of power. They are truly venal.
I guess they were too "woke." Protecting kids in school is just too liberal. www.cnn.com/2025/08/30/u...
Well, of course. I said this last week. Trump remembered how Covid-19 ran devastated urban cities first. They want to re-create that sweet, sweet ethnic cleansing magic. But this time, no masks, no time off work, no vaccines, no protection. They forget the pandemic eventually hit rural areas, too.
One cat was rescued from the rubble in Zaporizhzhia after last night’s Russian attack. The poor little one is terrified.
hey, remember the time Donald Trump told us that school shootings were something we just had to 'get over'? that was fun
This firefighter arrived in the US at age 4, has been here for 19 years, was on track to legal status, and was on a crew trying to contain a major blaze (in Washington state, vs Oregon, fwiw.) h/t @joshuajfriedman.com www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
A judge just ruled all of this is illegal!!!
I think MAGA needs to be more grateful. Liberals gave them this 3-day weekend and Social Security. We gave them a good economy. They complained about grocery prices last year but Argentina’s was at 200%.
They TRIED many times, too. This interview was shocking: Listen on Apple Podcasts: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...
Oh FFS. NARCISSISTS ARE NEVER SATISFIED!!!!
Wow, it’s so weird how no one talks about this anymore. It’s almost as if inflation wasn’t THE issue, it was just useful…aw but that couldn’t be, in this nation of liberal media and bias!
USA Today: The Trump administration is making plans for an immigration crackdown in Chicago as early as next week, according to multiple news outlets. I'm old enough to remember when Republicans believed in states' rights. #ProudBlue #Pinks #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice
Did you know Trump is launching AI death panels for Medicare? His admin. is hiring private companies to use AI to determine whether patients would be covered for certain procedures. The AI companies will get a cut of the “savings,” incentivizing them to deny care. open.substack.com/pub/messageb...
Trump is the embarrassment here, folks.
Every political career dies eventually.

"The court didn’t say that tariffs per se are illegal. It said that the procedure Trump used to impose tariffs — declaring an economic emergency, then setting tariff rates without so much as consulting Congress, let alone passing legislation — is illegal." paulkrugman.substack.com/p/an-emergen...
Look at mine, which TN Republicans gerrymandered in 2022. Looks like a cartoon horse wearing a hat.
Rural America doesn’t seem to care about their own well-being, so…
Just as she's about to go on a book tour, too.
Told y'all they'd cut Medicare. They just aren't calling it that, but that's what it is. Y'all wouldn't listen. You were more worried about 10 trans athletes and fake stories about Haitians eating Fluffy for dinner. We deserve what we got, absolutely. Make America Rational Again.
What a cursed sentence (gift link) “The A.I. companies selected to oversee the program would have a strong financial incentive to deny claims. Medicare plans to pay them a share of the savings generated from rejections.”
I’ve never applauded jury nullification. Until now. Free DC.
It’s almost as if focusing all your law enforcement efforts on rounding up landscapers, dish washers and day laborers was a colossally stupid idea.
Again, I need everyone to pay attention to who's pulling the string here. All roads lead back to Peter Thiel. Jim O'Neill, the new HHS guy, worked for Thiel. Everything leads back to this nefarious, unelected puppet master pulling the strings.
A couple years ago the NRA was on the brink of bankruptcy, whatever happened to that?
This is who is gonna decide who gets life saving vaccines, what medical research gets funded, what our health industry will look like. Peter fucking Thiel is a cancer on the American state. I hope he dies of a thousand plagues.
He's a propaganda guy. A message guy. He left govt and went on to work for ... wait for it ... PETER FUCKING THIEL. He was a managing director at a couple of Thiel hedge funds, moved on to Thiel Capital and co-founded the Thiel Fellowship, which gives students a year $100k to drop out of school.
Let's just learn a little more about Jim O'Neill, shall we? Education: B.A. in Humanities, Yale. M.A. in Humanities, Univ. of Chicago Career: Worked at the U.S. Dept. of Ed under George W. Bush. At HHS he "wrote or edited all speeches given by the HHS Secy." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_O%2...
"O'Neill, a former investment executive who also served at the federal health department under President George W. Bush, does not have a medical background." An INVESTMENT EXECUTIVE. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Dr. Vin Gupta on MSNBC right now: "Gold-standard science, randomized, controlled studies in the New England Journal of Medicine no longer matters. What matters is a megaphone and the ability to be really good at marketing. "MAHA is a marketing effort, there's no substance behind it."
These were my neighbors before the 2020 election. Trust me, they KNOW Trump is vile. They simply do not care.
Symbol of the Three Percenters, an anti-government militia group formed when Barack Obama became president. Looks like he's afraid of a few other things, like a black president.
