Quickly being reminded why I stopped posting on Giraffe Party as often.
People are fucking exhausting… and some are intentionally exhausting.
The contrarianism, pedantry, entitlement, cognitive dissonance, and lack of self-awareness is unhinged.
For everyone (finally) deciding to boycott Wendy’s and Chik Fil A… you may also want to look into Carl’s Jr./Hardee’s, Arby’s, and the owner of In N Out.
Support local non-franchise spots. Preferably ones which don’t donate funds to christofascist political nonsense and/or support MAGA cultism.
This is completely psychotic. He’s just a guy. And they’ve turned the full power of the nation against him because they fucked up their cleansing operation with him so badly.
I’m old enough to remember when celebrating a conservative white man’s death could get you fired, censured by Congress or kicked off late night television
The US President casually announcing his intention to commit war crimes on social media. That's where you're at, America.
Former CBS correspondent Scott MacFarlane explains what we’re losing with the demise of CBS Radio News. youtu.be/19HMToXUXbU?...

Guess it actually IS okay for us to say the same about Charlie Kirk, eh? 😏
Why hasn’t anyone made a dark comedy where Christopher Meloni and Jon Hamm play brothers with a serious sibling rivalry?
Do I need to write this?
Ugh. Fine.
TAPPER: You know that if you vote against an additional $50 billion of funding for operations in Iran, that vote will be cast as you voting against the troops.
CHRIS MURPHY: Come on. The American people do not want this war. If you support the troops, you should be voting against this war.
Her trip to Ireland was ruined by this one question?? Gee, I wonder why…
The U.S. government has lost more than 10,000 STEM Ph.D.s since Trump took office.
A Science analysis reveals how many were fired, retired, or quit across 14 agencies. Read more: https://scim.ag/4boPkq8
The DHS shutdown ends the minute Republicans agree to reasonable ICE reforms that the majority of Americans agree with. But they refuse any changes because masked, poorly-trained paramilitary agents terrorizing communities is what they want.
1/ For most viewers the phrase looks like generic patriotic messaging. But in QAnon circles, “patriots are in control” refers to the long-standing belief that Trump and a hidden network inside government were secretly running things the entire time.
We found that 11 of Trump’s DOT appointees disclosed between $12 million and $52 million in stock holdings and other financial interests in airlines, railroads, oil and gas corporations, transportation technology firms and other related businesses.

“Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., the president’s sons, are backing a new drone company that is vying to meet fresh demand from the Pentagon and fill a hole left by the administration’s ban on new Chinese drones in the U.S.”

It's not just gas prices that are surging thanks to Trump's war.
Fertilizer costs could rise too — and send food prices skyrocketing.

A small note near the floor at the exit of the truck notes the collaboration of PragerU and Hillsdale College, and claims that “neither institution received any federal funds and both generously contributed their own resources to help create this educational exhibit.” It also said “this truck was made possible through a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services,” which is, of course, a federal agency. Every AI-generated video ended with a title card showing the White House and PragerU’s logo. “The White House is grateful for the partnership with PragerU and the US Department of Education for the production of this museum,” the card said. “This partnership does not constitute or imply a US Government or US Department of Education endorsement of PragerU.”
an enduring part of this administration, I feel, is sullying anything it can't destroy
The White House put out a series of hype videos about the war. Some have been defending it by saying military members themselves share these kinds of videos.
This is true. But they aren’t the White House. The WH is a bunch of children, and have no sobriety about the serious business of war.
Every time Trump gets on the phone with a new reporter we’re hearing the weirdest mix of a misremembered classified briefing video the CIA makes for him, part of a text he just got from Lindsey Graham, and the last three nouns he heard on Fox News.
Lindsey’s diplomacy working wonders in UAE.
If an official commits an impeachable offense and nobody acts to impeach, it is no longer an impeachable offense.
People who oppose impeachment as “pointless” because it seems unlikely to result in removal do not understand this very simple point and seem unwilling to even try to understand it.
The Trump administration says there will be no more Epstein files released. Over half of the 6 million documents remain sealed.

“The DOJ is done.”

WSJ Headline: Record Numbers of Workers Are Raiding their 401(k) Savings
Trump says the economy is booming.
Clearly, Americans disagree.
If you casually throw around ableist slurs like “moron” “idiot” “retard” “imbecile” etc. then I have no desire to follow you on social media… I don’t care how solid your content is, otherwise.
Blatant ableism has no place in progressive spaces.
“Before I make fun of your post, do you have any developmental delays I should…”
You should stop being ableist. Period. That’s all.
Since California has transitioned so far away from depending solely on fossil fuels for their diesel, they've only seen a 14% increase in the price for diesel over the past week whereas the national average has been 20% and I think that more people should be made aware of that fact.
