Most of us understand perfectly that Russia is unequivocally the aggressor and Bad Guy here and there’s absolutely no justification for their invasion or claims to Ukrainian territory. It’s the regime in power who bow to Putin who try to push that idea. It’s horrible.

Oh hell no we are NOT going to rewrite history this way. Not Deep State not coup not framed. Tricky Dick did it all by himself and he deserved way more than he got.

My take from the Smith hearings: To be a GOP senator today, you have to be a lying piece-of-shit, who puts loyalty to party & our lying piece-of-shit president, above their oaths to the Constitution & their obligations to tell the truth & do what rights to the American people! Repost if U agree

So let’s all eat less beef which is what needs to happen anyway, and enjoy MAGA Texan farmers in their FO/leopard eats their face phase. May they have the day they voted for!

They’re not HIDING anything they’re demanding the LAWS AGAINST INTIMIDATION be followed. How fucking DARE THEY start framing this as “if it’s above board you shouldn’t care if we send armed troops to watch you vote”?!?!?!

I see it for $53, maybe can find 2nd hand but then author loses royalties! (I’d resent hi cost less if I thought the actual writer were getting paid decently!)…

Ohhh the list gets longer. And we independent scholars w/o access to a university library are at a disadvantage: cant get yo library, cant afford all the books we need bc academic publications are so often near $100 (I assume for mostly university library budgets?!). Dammit.

The shelters I’ve fostered for spay and neuter at 1.5-2 pounds! I think 1.5 is too small but that’s an emotional response not backed by and veterinary knowledge. 2 lbs/2 months is a perfectly reasonable guideline from what I’ve seen at various shelters!

Are you seriously calling Harris, Obama, Biden, and Clinton, to name most recent, right wingers?! People like you who claim “no difference” are a huge part of our problem trying to defeat them.

Good morning. Just a friendly reminder that Ghislaine Maxwell is currently protected, enjoying pampering and puppy time while America's service members are forced to drink diseased water, eat rotten meat, and huff air infested by mold. She does yoga while they choose drowning.

Unpopular opinion, medieval and early Renaissance paintings are more interesting and often more visually pleasing than high renaissance.

They’re already deploying the “if nothing illegal is happening why are you objecting to being observed” line. Just saw it in comments on an Instagram video about a judge telling DOJ observers they couldn’t be where they were, close to polling place.

I guess I can feel bad for Graham family mourning him but y’know what? Either they agree he was a POS and aren’t mourning, or they think he was a fine human being in which case, fuck them too.

I think I believe this but I’ve also seen some (at least claiming to be) EMTs saying “we don’t rush” and disputing other details cited as proof. Have you seen those/do you have any thoughts/replies?

Sooo many people jump straight from “I don’t understand how” to “it can’t be true.” As if the limits on their knowledge are what defines the whole world’s possibilities. (See: “aliens must have built that”)
