I'm a Black woman living in a Southern State. I'm unapologetically a liberal. It's not easy, but it is necessary. If you are kind, welcome.

There it is — nearly every single House Republican caved and voted to advance Donald Trump's cult agenda. They are getting ready to kick 17 million Americans off their health care so the rich can get a tax break. Horrifying.

As predicted, the House Republicans folded like napkins and decided to kill fellow Americans to give tax cuts to the richest people on Earth. The damage Trump has done in 6 months is going to be generational. We destroyed ourselves.

Good afternoon Fam, I don't post as much as I would like. I'm dealing poorly with the death of my mom. She died 2/12/25. I have been stuck since then. This world is in such difficulty. I'm wishing she were here, while being grateful that her suffering has ended. I have to continue to change.

Maybe you will realize that the poor people are not your enemies. The next 4 years are going to be painful. We have to rebuild our society based on what works for the majority and not an aspirational lottery, it will be worth it. Trump is the sum of 40 years of Republican fevered dreams.

Good evening Fam, It's begun. The last foreign ships are hitting our shores in the next few weeks. We're days away from empty shelves and skyrocketing prices. People, we keep making the same mistakes over and over. Maybe the pain will make you realize that if you aren't rich, the rich don't care.

The Onion is in a unique spot: We're independent and not beholden to anyone, in a time when that's increasingly both rare and necessary. We're one of the rare media organizations allowed, and expected, to say things no one else can say, but everybody knows is true. We'll be exploiting that in 2025.

I'm so proud of what this place has accomplished over the last year, like sending a newspaper to subscribers in every state and 50 countries. People tell us it makes opening their mailbox a little less horrifying every day, and I love that. But we're going to be even more fearless in the next year.

Forgive the earnest post here, but one year ago this week, Global Tetrahedron took over The Onion. We've since brought back the paper and ONN, dramatically increased revenue, and hired more writers and artists. But most importantly, as other places debased themselves, we refused to bend the knee.
