“You wanna take a photo for the ‘gram? Take one of the movie poster, or the marquee, or your ticket stub if you’re at a theater that still messes with those. Do literally anything that does not require you to take out your phone during the movie…”

Stop Taking Photos of the Movie Screen During the Movie. No, Seriously, Knock It Off
We shouldn't have to tell you not to take pictures of the screen while you're watching a movie in the theater, but apparently we do.

This is a United States Senator mocking the assassination of a Minnesota legislator and her husband. He pretends to be a good Mormon. He’s a sick fuck.

""If you give a man a fish, he will eat for a day; if you
teach a man to fish, he will eat for a lifetime," but
you have done neither. You have stood before us and
eaten fish after fish, and chided us for our greed as
you have done so. You have cast aside their offal and
simultaneously chided us for our waste. You then
told us that, coincidentally, you owned the river, and
our parents should have gotten us the same if we
wanted fish. You gave a man a fish to murder us if
we step too close to the river, or speak too loud, or
eat a fish from another river. You've copyrighted the
fishing net. It costs us fish to leave."

We’re honestly on a fast timeline to exactly this.
A cartoon by Cori6 compares two scenarios. The top panel, labeled "PROJECT 1938," shows a group of people, including adults and children, disembarking from a train with a ramp, reminiscent of historical deportations. The bottom panel, labeled "PROJECT 2025," depicts a similar group of people disembarking from an airplane using a mobile staircase, suggesting a modern deportation scenario. The cartoon is signed "Cori6" in the bottom right corner.

Think about it. Donald Trump is the son of an immigrant. Rubert Murdoch is an immigrant. Elon Musk is an immigrant. Maybe we should rethink the possibility that immigrants and their children are destroying America.

The US is attacking our economy and the economies of our friends and allies. It’s difficult to end all US products and services, but we can all cut out some. Tourism is an easy one, and most food products can be replaced, usually by better quality. Let’s all boycott all we can from the US.

The far-right acting like Le Pen is some unique martyr demonstrates how little they know of France. Alain Juppé got done for ghost jobs too; Fillon; Bayrou; Sarkozy... This isn't about who or what she is, and she surely ain't special. Just another corrupt politician, who got caught . Get over it

They keep trashing the journalist like that’ll fix it. This interview makes it worse—and she’s not even asking the right questions. Why use Signal for classified info instead of the secure government app our taxes paid for? Is this their norm? How long have they been sharing war plans like this?

Meta raked in $8B thanks to Trump’s first tax cuts. It donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration. Comcast got $6.6B. It donated $1M to his inauguration. Bank of America got $24B in tax subsidies, and you guessed it, donated to Trump’s inauguration. This is who Trump governs for.

Pete Hegseth had a chance to own it - for once to be a stand-up guy and accept responsibility and apologize to the American people. But instead, he chose to go in front of the cameras and tell blatant, obvious lies. But Trump doesn’t care - he does that hundreds of times a day.
