Scrapple is a hill I'll die on. In my part of the world (PA, MD, DE) it's a regional delicacy. My mother would make it for breakfast when we were all home and our spouses would sit as far away as possible at the other end of the table. I acknowledge, it's not for everyone.
Trump is trying to scapegoat our NATO allies for the reckless war of choice in which he has ensnared us for no good reason. Speaking on CNN.
Bigots and racists are WAY too comfortable right now.
One thing I’ll note is for a guy who’s mad about everyone who ever miffed him, he’s never once brought up the guy who shot him (allegedly)
IF TRUMP HAS ACHIEVED ANYTHING,IT’S THAT HE’S LAID BARE HOW COMPLETELY WORTHLESS AND BROKEN THE SYSTEM IS THAT ALLOWED HIM TO BECOME PRESIDENT AGAIN AND ALLOWS HIM TO STAY IN POWER DESPITE TURNING HIS PRESIDENCY INTO A CRIMINAL OPERATION.
Everything must change.
By the time I read “Young Females” in the headline I was lighting the match.
I've said this before and I'll say it again - Brooks reminds me of the geeky high schooler who did homework for members of the football team so he could hang out with them, and then wrote wordy defenses for them when they were accused of assaulting cheerleaders.
BREAKING: Senate Republicans blocked my War Powers Resolution that would have ended Trump's unnecessary, unjustified war against Iran.
These cowards have had four chances to stop this chaos in the Middle East.
And they put Trump's ego before America.
Every damn time.
Fascinating paragraph from Scott Alexander, where he admits he’s the dog that caught the car
"Be careful"?? Why does everything out of this regime sound like a mob shakedown?
It also slipped through that he said that he was a doctor who was "doing Red Cross." He clearly meant "first aid" and his cognitive processes required him to substitute "Red Cross." I'm not a neurologist, but this sounds pretty symptomatic.
Does he think Drs literally have light shining out of their hands? That's possibly more disturbing than him thinking he's The Messiah.
Ever since Bill Clinton, it’s been a fervent belief among the right/the media (same thing) that Republicans are entitled to hold office and Democrats are interlopers who are illegitimate even if they’re elected in a landslide. Meanwhile, when a Republican wins w/a minority of votes, it’s a mandate.
Somehow we almost missed Fox saying teens ages 15-19 not having babies is a “problem”🤔
I am pretty sure that if a Democratic US President was in office, lashing out at the supreme pontiff, and blasphemously depicting himself as the savior, the headlines would describe this papal response as defending the church and not “hitting back.”
"At some point if the ship doesn’t turn around, maybe it will start taking on water or listing badly or hit an iceberg, or perhaps the iceberg has been there all along and is named Donald Trump."
This reality check by Rebecca Solnit grabs you right from the killer first sentence. Do yourself a favor & give it a read.
I’ve been trying to figure out why I’ve been obsessed with the Artemis II mission — more obsessed than I usually am with NASA stuff.
This explains it!

Hungarians showing how to win big in an unfair election: organize AND protest AND vote AND demand profound change.
Venezuela was a mob hit. The boss was taken down so the underboss could take over and pay Trump a bigger piece of the skim. That's the way Trump understands business. Complex geopolitics involving global supply lines and multiple alliances are beyond him.
Do Americans know that their Vice President was in Hungary campaigning for a Putin ally to be reelected, instead of in DC during a war in which Putin is helping Iran target Americans?
The shared excitement over NASA’s recent mission compared to the general indifference to SpaceX missions speaks to the power of something seen as the product of communal human effort rather than just the ego and avarice of one obnoxious dork.
Pointing out Congressional inaction on impeachment is not mean.
It is not partisan.
It's factual, because we observe their actions.
We can either fix this by pressuring them to do their jobs or by voting them all out, but it must be fixed. Soon.
Country over party, folks.
Demand better.
Workers in the US are obviously not the primary victims of US imperialism, but they are abandoned and fleeced by the same war state that kills countless people abroad. From blood banks to food pantries, a snapshot of a country whose raison d’etre is increasingly open sadism and violence. My latest.
Greg is right here: Even if Trump’s removal (via impeachment, 25th Amendment, whatever) is unlikely, we should not atop talking about it (that’s what they did with Biden)
I took a classical literature class back in the 80s and my term paper was on the Avignon Papacy. Who says humanities don't prepare you for the future?
It's still not the "Dept. of War.". Only Congress can make that change. Fascism wins by slowly erasing rule of law and then demolishing it. Every time someone repeats "Dept of War" they're accessories to the slow crime.
some people you can recruit, other people you have to simply defeat. politics makes more sense when you accept this
