Trump only wants to be president of the red states, he doesn't care about blue states. So, who's president of the blue states?

I used to make fun of preppers. Stockpiling provisions in case of an attack on America. Ridiculous idea, right?

Hegseth is gutting the military of leaders who could object to him turning the US military against American citizens. This is becoming less of a conspiracy theory as each day passes.

They're still talking about the nuclear weapons that Iran never had and never wanted. This excuse for war has worn pretty thin.

This is what scares all of us. Not just the misinformation. Not just the blind devotion. It’s the hatred, the dehumanizing language, and the belief that fellow Americans should “pack up” and leave because of their religion or where they came from. We need to stand together, and vote.
MAGA cult member interviewed outside rally:
"He's gonna fix it. Believe in him, stand strong.
Our gas prices were higher when Obama was president. Our gas prices were higher during Biden.... all the abortion, it's evil. That's one thing that Trump stands for is us Christians.
We're being killed everywhere. I want to see two people - Trump and Jesus ... we do not want Muslims taking over ... I have horrible thoughts.
I don't think they should be here. This isn't their country ... they need to pack up their stuff and go back to where they came from."

Update from Kyiv authorities: "Repair work is ongoing at the site. Traffic is limited: three lanes operate from the left to the right bank, and one lane from the right to the left. After the work is completed, traffic will be restored in all lanes."

People are furious about what happened at Cornell, and this feels like the inevitable backlash when action comes only after the damage is done.
there are about 40,000 comments on the Cornell University TikTok page, and it's all stuff like this

Hypothetically, if the frat house were to burn to the ground, how long of an essay would be required from the arsonist?

if it doesn't want to burn maybe it shouldn't be so flammable

When Republicans tried to repeal a law that voters passed banning gerrymandering, they found an opposition that flew in the face of Utah women’s “tradwives” imagery.

Again, it’s not about what is happening in their state—it is about denying women the fundamental right to make significant decisions affecting their lives, health and bodies—coming from the Party that screamed 'states rights' for years.

"Never be afraid to make some noise. It is their shame, not yours."
@kbarton1001
On my first big overseas client conference, I was at a dinner seated next to a drunk client who kept trying to fondle me under the table. I was young, distressed, and had no idea what to do. I moved my legs as far away from him as I could, moving into the space of the man next to me, who then started patting my legs! The Regional Manager was a French woman who caught my eye, gestured for me to go to the bathroom and when I came back had switched chairs with me.
What happed next was epic. A few minutes after I sat back down, she raised her hand with his hand captured in hers and announced loudly "Does anyone know whose hand this is? I found it in my lap." There was dead silence at the table. She threw his hand back at him and said calmly "next time I pick it up with my fork." Then she started a new conversational thread and things moved on.
After the meeting she found me, gave me a hug, and said seriously "Never be afraid to make some noise. It is their shame, not yours."

There was a time when the Department of Justice prosecuted criminals instead of covering for them and spawning new ones. Hoover crossed the line, but at least he knew where it was. Blanche has blurred that line so badly it's no longer visible.

There is an important distinction between asking about intoxication because it may be relevant to the circumstances, and using intoxication to imply that the victim caused, invited or deserved the assault. The former can be legitimate investigation. The latter is victim blaming.

Fuck the media obsession with finding out who Jane Doe “really” is. What is wrong with us as a society that we think someone’s identity is more important than what happened to them? Jane Doe isn’t a mystery to solve. She’s a human being. We are all Jane Doe.
