Did you know World War II was the first conflict where the US military lost more to enemy action than to disease?
The primary charge, mail fraud, is specious. The theory is that donors to SPLC were defrauded because they were not told that their contributions were being used to pay extremists. But of course the extremists were being paid to help undermine extremist groups. Complete BS.
HEDY LAMARR escaped from her Nazi husband by disguising herself as her own maid, became a Hollywood star, then co-developed a radio guidance system for Allied torpedoes - the principles of which are incorporated into today’s Bluetooth and GPS technology.
Hell of a lady.
Proud mom and dad. Bill and Hillary Clinton greet daughter Chelsea at the Boston Marathon finish line.
In my memoir, I write of a "They"; that there is a They coming for our guns; a They trying to indoctrinate our kids in the public schools; a They seeking to replace Whites with foreigners and brown people; as examples.
While one can find individual examples, there is no They coming for us.

“The EU’s highest court has found Hungary’s anti-LGBTQ+ law to be discriminatory, stigmatising and in breach of basic democratic values…”
This is a crucial decision. The court rejected the political claim that LGBTQ+ representation is “propaganda.” We must keep fighting politics that dehumanise us.

Did American voters really think it was cute to vote for someone whose thing is to call people names? It’s something we’re taught at an early age not to do.
Minor in the scheme of things, but such a telling characteristic.

The Onion won the IP known as InfoWars when it was auctioned off to pay the Sandy Hook families that Alex Jones TERRORIZED after their children were massacred. Alex Jones sued to stop the Onion from taking InfoWars. He lost. 🤣 The NEW InfoWars will be a Satire Site. 😂
The owner of Coachella is a right-wing nationalist and gives lots of money to anti-LGBT organizations.

This is your reminder that it's been ten months since the assassination of Melissa Hortman, her husband and her dog, and there hasn't been even a hint of justice for her family, friends or colleagues.
Very cool that Omaha is trying to build bike culture and infrastructure by making its (all-electric) bike share system free for residents.

There really is no such thing as race. We all came from Africa. We are all of the same stardust. We are all going to live and die on the same planet, a Pale Blue Dot in the vastness of space. We have to work together.

Mayor Mamdani and a group of children hold hands while running through red tape in a hallway.
For too long, bureaucracy kept 7 child care centers across our city empty — spaces that should have been alive with laughter instead collected dust.
We've run through that red tape. This fall, all 7 will open their doors, bringing an additional 240 free 3-K seats & real relief to working families.
Impeachment, not the 25th. He is unfit for office, but his problems now are because he has surrounded himself with enablers and thinks he has no restrictions or consequences.
I once heard a friend say that he didn't believe a woman should be President because we're too emotional. Name ONE woman who has ever gone on a shooting rampage out of anger.
Sen. Jack Reed to Warsh as he dodges questions about divesting his assets: "Excuse me. I must commend you on the way you can circularly go around questions and not answer them. It's a skill. Unfortunately it's not a good skill for the chairman of the Fed."

The Brits appear ready to shame the US news media into covering this, distracted as they are by gazing at their own navels ...
I watch a lot of true crime and ome reoccurring thing that grinds my gears when a young girl or woman is killed, a love one without fails says "she never got to get married or have kids" ... every time. Sometimes they say graduate or prom but always marriage and motherhood. It saddens me.
“Children are living with pain,” said Crystal Adams, director of the N.C. Oral Health Collaborative. “Adults are unable to find employment because of their oral health. That should not be the reality in our state.” ncnewsline.com/2026/04/21/n... @lbonner.bsky.social #ncpol
In February 1777, General George Washington ordered the first mass immunization campaign in American history by mandating that his troops be inoculated against smallpox. He protected the Continental Army from an epidemic that was deadlier than British forces.
249 years later, we have this idiot.
A golden retriever has both paws up at a bank teller’s window.
“Are you the branch manager?”
“Yes I am, how can I help you?”
“I would like two branches, please.”
“How would you like that?”
“Two big sticks, four little sticks.”
