Unchecked privilege is the most corrosive aspect of our society. It makes all the other horrors possible. People enjoying their privilege always believe they earned it. Seldom is that the case. They love to promote the lie that you could achieve the same if only you tried harder.
Again, I really don’t like it when folks use Peanuts to create trite memes. Somehow I don’t think CMS would be happy with this either. Allow the world to have a few pure and decent things, free of the Internet’s stink.
H.R. 1897 is moving fast in the House and could hit the floor for a full vote as soon as tomorrow. This bill would gut the Endangered Species Act forcing economic impact considerations into listing decisions, limiting your ability to challenge bad science in court,
This needs to be a federal law.
John Roberts' wife is not the only Supreme Court spouse to shake down people with business before the court to give bribes. Ginni Thomas has a "consulting firm" (AKA a PO Box for checks) to funnel money to Clarence. #Corruption
Begs the question why any respectable journalist would attend.
My Southern grandmother would make this for me. Considering that gravy in and of itself isn’t exactly diet food, in for a penny…
As someone who is neurodivergent, I’d like special dispensation to use the “R” word when specifically and narrowly referring to Donald Trump.
In its most pejorative and ugly sense, I believe it is accurate and fitting. ‘cause he is one.

TY Ray! 💖
That's awesome. 🤣😂

It's interesting how very bad they are at this. I find it rather astounding that they don't do any part of it well. I mean... even Nixon created the EPA. #Idiocracy
Poster demonstrating how to use the “signal for help.” 1) Tuck thumb in palm 2) Trap thumb with other fingers 3) Lift fingers back up (keep thumb in) 4) Repeat
Thank you, Corinna!
The #signalforhelp is used by:
• Victims of Domestic Violence
• Victims of Trafficking or Kidnapping
• Anyone in dangerous situations when they cannot speak

You have to admire how Trump world isn’t constrained by facts, evidence, or even a fleeting connections to reality. It’s government by dissociating lunatics. It must be very freeing for them.
If you want to visit the US this summer, just bear this in mind: According to the American Public Health Association (APHA) and Everytown Research, nearly 130 people are killed with guns every day. The average is about 48K per year due to gun violence.
The point is cruelty, not assistance.
2/2 If you know something about the recent systematic firings and censorship of exhibits, please tell the tip line @arktimes.bsky.social
1/2 This is the proverbial tip of the iceberg. Sarah's heavy at AR Dept of Parks, Heritage & Tourism, Suzanne Grobmyer, may have started something she can't finish. The theocrats & book burners will not be allowed to erase history or destroy institutions they find inconvenient. #arnews #Arkansas
This is the post of the day.
Most people do not think of themselves as cruel. Most people would say they care about kindness, fairness, and unnecessary suffering. That is why veganism matters more than many people first assume. It is not simply about food. It is about whether our daily choices reflect the values we...
Mark Ruffalo, Glenn Close, Ben Stiller, Jane Fonda, John Cusack, Kristen Stewart, JJ Abrams, Katie Phang, John Leguizamo, and over a thousand actors, writers, directors, journalists, producers, composers, and Hollywood executives have signed a letter against the Paramount-Warner Bros. merger:

I’d pay money to watch Trump try to ride a bike. Can you imagine the wobbly mass of chaotic flailing?
My daily Mugatu Moment, “… crazy pills.”
“Checks” Like Jesus?
In related news, I would like my college students to provide proper citations and follow some semblance of formatting guidelines.
If they still turned in physical papers, I wouldn’t line a birdcage with most of them.
I am reading a biography of Henry Fonda, and the combination of solid progressive left-wing politics and being a fairly terrible person to everyone in his life just seems to suggest he'd be great on social media.
Very well stated.
I have nothing to say about this, neither does my charred potholder.
Thank you so much!
It has become clear that we have arrived at the “by any means necessary” moment in Constitutional and patriotic duty.
I abhor violence. I abhor the destruction of our nation even more.
Courage. Sacrifice. Action. Now.
These are the words of a petulant child. No serious person would ever say these things in public.
Often the right word isn’t a polite one. That’s why we have them.
