It's interesting how everything people used to proudly call "public" when I was growing up (public parks, public libraries, public schools, public transportation, public television, etc) is suddenly "socialist" now that rich people are spinning it.

In the end, Stephen Colbert flirted with his wife, kissed Pedro Pascal & gave CBS the finger. He‘s a class act who kept the lights on at Second City during the pandemic, paid his writers during the strike, is a true Catholicy. He lost his job cause he spoke out against a fascist. I salute you, Sir.

Funny how the all the people ransacking the Capitol on January 6 were liberals, plants, and ANTIFA—until there was money to be made from it.

Morning everyone. Do you know that your President just exempted himself, his family, and all his family's companies from our tax laws? You are subject to the law. Now he is not. No one should not pretend this is okay or normal. It's an ongoing constitutional crisis.

The official USDA site is blaming trans people for SNAP benefits expiring.
“A screenshot of a webpage from fns.usda.gov showing a warning message in a brown box. The message claims Senate Democrats voted 12 times not to fund the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), states there will be no benefits issued November 1, and accuses them of holding out for healthcare for illegal immigrants and gender-related procedures. The USDA Food and Nutrition Service logo appears at the bottom, along with a blue ‘Menu’ button.”
