Today is the 251st anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.

Remind you of anyone?

Screenshotted excerpt from linked article reading as follows:

"In public, Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. has cultivated a reputation for care and caution. The papers reveal a different side of him. At a critical moment for the country and the court, the papers show, he acted as a bulldozer in pushing to stop Mr. Obama’s plan to address the global climate crisis.

When colleagues warned the chief justice that he was proposing an unprecedented move, he was dismissive. “I recognize that the posture of this stay request is not typical,” he wrote. But he argued that the Obama plan, which aimed to regulate coal-fired plants, was “the most expensive regulation ever imposed on the power sector,” and too big, costly and consequential for the court not to act immediately."

Every day is a fucking fight with the fucking stupidity of our government, our fucked up medical system, the fucking idiots who have no regard for anyone but themselves and it is just also so fucking exhausting.

Hungary election: Viktor Orbán concedes with opposition on course for landslide election win - follow live Hungary's prime minister has been ousted after 16 years in power, with Péter Magyar set to be the country's new leader.

It is still blowing my mind honestly that the vice president of the United States of America went to Hungary to campaign for an authoritarian dictator who is despised by most of his country. But hellllllllll yeah. Ignore the vibes at your peril. www.bbc.com/news/live/c2...

Niceness feels fake and manipulative. That’s just the cultural gap. I always try to explain yo folks not from the NE that you might get cussed out for being dumb enough to get caught up in a situation while being helped by someone from up here. I’m not arguing facts, I am talking about feelings
