You’re 100% right. It would be so easy for them to just add filters and tags, so the fact that they haven’t bothered tells you something.

I am here for messaging that the THREAT alone - regardless of if it's carried out or walked back - should end his presidency.

The die is already cast. You cannot wield the power that man has and say that kind of shit.

The President just threatened genocide.

The Joint Chiefs of Staff must disregard any such military orders that violate federal and international law.

Republicans in Congress can't hide anymore: we must consider all options – including impeachment – to stop Trump.

I hate having to do the "look, they're normal just like us" post, but sometimes you have to do that when American propaganda tries to convince everyone Iranians are "animals".

Just put the income on your schedule C based on your own records. You can amend later if you have luck getting the 1099, but this will keep you out of trouble in the meantime.

I used to write the WaPo editorials on US-Africa policy, as well on as human rights and politics on the continent.

To describe hundreds of thousands of deaths on the continent as “messy” is an absolute abomination.

This is so cute. I used to get my cat her own ‘people’ glass. She would still drink out of mine instead.

I want to put this as plainly as possible: This site has way too many self-righteous, underinformed assholes looking to pick a fight. We need fewer of them and more people with Mark's expertise.

‘Stunning’: Jeanine Pirro’s Failure to Indict Democrats Is a Big Deal The U.S. attorney is stumbling in Trump’s revenge tour — and it’s a sign of more struggles to come.

“A grand total of zero — zero — grand jurors agreed to return the proposed indictment. As a former federal prosecutor, I have never heard of this actually happening before.”

Marimar Martinez was shot by Border Patrol five times.

DHS accused her of being a domestic terrorist.

She went to court to get the body cam footage released.

It shows Agent Charles Exum driving with his gun drawn.

Saying “do something b*tch”.

Ramming her car.

Shooting her.

It shows DHS lied.

Federal agents cannot murder people in broad daylight and face zero consequences.

I will NOT support the DHS bill as it stands.

The DHS bill needs to be split off from the larger funding package before the Senate—Republicans must work with us to do that.

I’ll keep fighting to rein in DHS and ICE.

Sonnet #3, On Faith

A speeding train hath pierc'd the veil of night
A young girl sits and contemplates alone
She doesn't know the terminus of flight
She just knows she must leave her stifling home

A singer serenades a smoky haunt
The acrid smells of squalor overthrow
Carnality devoid of warmth of want
In perpetuity the cycle goes

Isolated phantoms in the street
Their shadows flit about the fading flame
Desperate for connection, so they seek
For anyone to feel for, through the pain

When there's a feeling that your heart clings to
Belief without cessation sees you through

Andrew Tate fake tweet: Let me make this loud and clear. If you're a straight man with a girlfriend in 2025, you're gay.

Andrew Tate fake tweet: Let me make this loud and clear. If you're a straight man with a girlfriend in 2025, you're gay.

It’s not actually that far from other things Tate has said so it didn’t feel notable enough to debunk yesterday. But now that we’re moving to day two of this circulating, this tweet is fake.
