Reporter: What do you make of Republicans saying that Virginia—
AOC: Wah wah wah.
We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no.
What they’re just mad at is that they have been accustomed to a Democratic Party that rolls over.
If you're not reading Ian McDonald's novella "Boy, with Accidental Dinosaur", you really should be. It's one of the best things he's written and keeps reminding me of the deserted western noir of Paul McAuley's Jackaroo stories and Walter Jon Williams' early cyberpunk.
(These are all good things.)
The man who introduced obligatory vaccinations to the US Army was George Washington.
I know about 600 ppl at the local renfair who would kill this guy in under 8 seconds in a swordfight where only he had a sword
These fishermen are lucky to be alive. We will probably never know how many of the ~180 people killed in similar US attacks were also just fishermen.
Secretary of War Pete Hegs... • © • 39m The War Department is once again restoring freedom to our Joint Force. We are discarding the mandatory flu vaccine requirement, effective immediately.
General George Washington required Continental Army soldiers be inoculated for smallpox. We would not have won independence if he hadn’t.
You dumb chucklefuck.
Happy Tax Day, New York. We’re taxing the rich.
This is entirely possible. Trump is an idiot.
This all makes sense once you realize they’re not trying to govern successfully.
They’re trying to steal as much money as possible and damage our country so much we won’t be able to go after them.

Doctors Without Borders is my charity of choice, not only because they are hands-on providing help in every major (and minor) conflict and catastrophe, but also because they have a very small organisational overhead. Meaning a very large percentage of your donation goes directly to helping people.
US President Donald Trump says the US Navy would immediately start blockading the Strait of Hormuz and would also interdict every vessel in international waters that had paid a toll to Iran. https://aje.news/x545rk
We have entered the “you can’t kill me if I commit suicide” phase of American Decline
I need everyone to understand this is eugenics in action—not just “quackery.” Much like the “anti vax” movement as a whole.
Again: for any big liberal donor who wants to funnel millions into fixing this country's politics, the ROI on buying any struggling paper and simply tasking it with doing real reporting on local news is vastly higher than the same $$ given to some group that does mass ad buys every election year.
White men who think they are god with their money?

A new anti-trans law in Kansas effectively forces trans voters to obtain new documents with inaccurate gender markers, or abstain from voting. “We either won’t be able to vote or participate in public life, or we change our documents.”

Yet I alone, alone do me oppose
Against the Pope, and count his friends my foes.
