if you won a million dollars what would be the first ridiculous thing you'd buy? something silly and pretty and fun for yourself. it can be small. I'd buy a hot pink e-bike or vespa, and give it pink marabou streamers.

It is quite noticeable that Democrats have, in less than 24 hours, expressed more sympathy for a guy who didn’t actually get killed than for the tens of thousands of Palestinians who’ve been brutally murdered over the last several months.

I maybe shouldn’t be so snippy but jumping into mentions to be like “but no really Russia is worse” when Israel has killed 8% of the population of Gaza is not bringing out my nice side

All the logistical, bureaucratic issues of replacing a candidate, navigating multiple deadlines and such, all these issues would also happen if that candidate just dropped dead at an inopportune time. With candidates this old, for this long, you'd hope someone would have planned for just that.

Hearing that the new supreme court ruling would legalize assassination. Terrifying. Imagine if we lived in a country where uniformed officers of the state could just kill people and never face consequences

Imagine if biden supported supreme court reform *instead* of repeatedly and vigorously rejecting it. Imagine if the dems threatening us with camps and project 2025, had a position on actual events occurring currently and a plan of action regarding those currently happening things happening now.

Rereading Vonnegut and damn he’s good. Random sentence: “His high school was named after a slave owner who was also one of the world’s greatest theoreticians on the subject of human liberty.”

She will never go away. If I lost to Trump in the most winnable election in history, you would never hear from me ever again. I would delete every record of my existence and exile myself from society out of shame for what I inflicted on the world. Speaks volumes that she's still here self-promoting.

if we had caught wind of Saddam’s Republican Guard doing shit like this even once it would have been paraded across the evening news repeatedly as proof of the regime’s brutality and a justification for war
“Israeli army forces strapped a wounded Palestinian man to the hood of a military Jeep during an arrest raid in the occupied West Bank city of Jenin on Saturday. A video showed a Palestinian resident of Jenin, Mujahed Azmi, on the Jeep that passes two ambulances.”

Joe has had voters, House reps, Senators, staffers, and probably senior advisors warn him this would be a consequence of his passionate, stubborn attachment to Israel as an infallible symbol of postwar optimism. It’s a bad look when he whines about. You ordered the plate Joe, so eat it.

At least 1,800 law enforcement officers were charged child sexual abuse from 2005 through 2022. Predatory cops often used the power of their badges to find and silence their victims, while officials at every level of the criminal justice system failed to protect children and punish abusers.
Abused by the badgewww.washingtonpost.com Hundreds of police officers in the United States have sexually abused children, a Post investigation found. In many cases, the officers have avoided prison time.

I don’t mean to sound all hyperbolic but articles like these make us more comfortable with cops murdering protesters and I think the writer should feel shame and be disgusted with themselves 🤷‍♂️

immigration doesn't pose a threat to the safety of local residents unless you believe immigrants are inherently more violent and dangerous than other people, which is something only white supremacists think
So you read the bipartisan bill that was offered up and shouted down by the T-rump caucus? And you know first hand the extreme conditions in the border states, and have come to a better conclusion? Please tell us what you would do to balance the needs of immigration and safety of local residents.

There is a third secret option but it’s not actually secret and it’s obviously the correct option. (Don’t vote for any fascists; red, blue or yellow.)

Can't wait for the white liberals on here to tell me how this is good for migrants and I am naive for thinking otherwise 😅

Remember when Obama decided to get “tough on immigration” in 2014 to win over voters in the center and his own staffers were like why did we do that, it won us zero votes and alienated some of our base? Reposting for no particular reason!
This was in 2015.
