Note to Democrats: Voters giving up Trump only to vote for the next Republican solves nothing.

The problem isn't Trump, it's the Republican party.

Don't allow Republican politicians dodge accountability by claiming it was all him.

Don’t know: best this gets passed around, by the MILLIONS.

It’ll complicate her life.

You know what modern comics are missing? Sea monkeys!

A Common Raven perched on a rock, displaying its glossy black plumage with iridescent sheen, thick curved beak, shaggy throat feathers, and large dark claws against a soft blurred brown and pink background.

Crows remember human faces. For years. If you wrong one, it will tell other crows about you — and they'll harass you too. Even crows that never met you!

This is not just a bird. This is one of the most intelligent animals on the planet.

Oops, sorry about the lack of video preview (some nerve to nick a Disney video then block people from sharing it). Anyway, the link works if you follow it.

Almost everyone else: Lord of the Rings references.

How are there screens and screens of replies and no one seems to have referenced "Baby Mine"?

This. I've stopped going to doctors for anything other than debilitating pain or potentially life-threatening.

Because I'm tired of cursory exams, OTC pain meds, & "come back if it gets worse."

And someday, when a doc asks why I wasn't seen for something sooner, I will explain that to their face.

What Radicalized You? Panel 1 A woman sits at a desk talking to her boss who has his feet up on the desk. Boss: As part of ongoing restructuring your position has been eliminated. We'd like to thank you for the 30 years you spent with us. Woman: But we made record profits last quarter. Panel 2 A man stands in front of a dumpster full of food. His boss stands behind him. Boss: Make sure you lock up the dumpster after you throw out all this food. Wouldn't want any bums to get at it. Panel 3 A man stands against a wall, holding his arms up in the air, looking afraid. A police officer points a gun at him. Cop: Police! Drop the weapon, boy. Man: What weapon? Cop: Stop resisting! Panel 4 Lester sits in a booth at a restaurant. He's holding a menu that says "Cluck Bucket" on it. He looks pissed. Lester: $24.99 for chicken wings?

Enough is enough.

Christian Nationalism is a Cult of Convenience

We must get back to a 🌎 where when someone lies, we say “lie.” I don’t get why it’s forbidden to identify this act w/ precisely the correct word. He just said gas prices are down, i.e. LIED

🛑 him, say lie. “But aren’t they up [blah, blah, blah]” ain’t it. Call out the lie. Powerful, helps society.

I dunno, that dog looks like he's gotten a dose of Joker Venom. 😂

Speech bubble, person 1 "Guys, that's not important right now. Our boat is sinking." Speech bubble, person 2 "Eh, I don't feel like getting in a raft today." Speech bubble, person 3 "Don't you have a raft that we'd like better?" Panel 5. Speech bubble, person 1 "Look, this is serious - if we don't get in the raft, we all drown."

This is all your fault." below comic: Support this project at patreon.com/LevniYilmaz

Agreed. Time to drag this one out again.

Point of order: all that matters is turning out the vote. Hungary just proved this.

Political actions that matter: doing whatever we can to motivate people to vote.

—We will get distracted, so repeatedly bringing our focus back to this objective, is key.

Even weirder is when neo-pagans are siding with the Pope. But here we are.

Novalis' is a popular, disease-resistant floribunda rose known for its large, cup-shaped, lavender-mauve blooms that fade to silvery-gray, offering a nostalgic, old-fashioned look. It's a vigorous, repeat-blooming shrub that thrives in full sun but tolerates partial shade, making it suitable for containers and colder climates (USDA Zones 5-9).

The No Kings 2 rally my wife and I attended was organized by a 14-year-old and attended by about half Millennials and younger. We didn't meet our No Kings 3 rally organizer, but the age range was about the same.

These people really need to STFU. The kids are all right.

Hungary’s New Leader Reveals Viktor Orbán Was Paying CPAC Péter Magyar called the payments a “crime” and said his government would stop the funds.

The entire American conservative MAGA “movement” has been a Russian funded op the entire time. Follow the money. It’s a straight line from Putin to CPAC.
