A few years ago the ATF actually DID raid one of my neighbors, along with the bomb squad and the DEA, after one of his homemade explosives seriously injured him and put him in the hospital… that was an exciting day in the neighborhood.

I remember the verses and so I know that we are dust and someday to the dust we shall return, but I have just learned that in Finland infective SARS-CoV-2 had been found in skull sawdust, and so now I know that we are dust and the dust is infectious.

i think Trump’s success in distancing himself from the policies of his own people is at least partially because there’s an authenticity to it: he really doesn’t give a shit about the right wing agenda, he’s just willing to trade it in exchange for power
even trump’s campaign staff (i assume he didn’t write this) knows that the reactionary, authoritarian agenda that’s project 2025 is going to be unpopular with the average voter.

And let’s not forget this is coming on the heels of the head of the Heritage Foundation saying, “We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.” They want violence so very badly.
So here we have a GOP gubernatorial nominee calling for followers to kill people who he claims are enemies of Christian America. How many chin-stroking pieces are we going to see about how the GOP is in real trouble now that one of its candidate is really ol--I mean violent?

What if quitting your terrible job would help the economy? Research by economists Zhifeng Cai & @heathcote.bsky.social shows that extending unemployment insurance to workers who quit their jobs would improve economic efficiency. www.vox.com/future-perfe...

this should become an iconic historical image
There is a 7 foot tall guy behind Rishi Sunak who likely ran for office just to be able to hold a printed out L behind him during his concession speech.

Wild, that some people that look at Project 2025 and dismiss it, when 23,000 people in Texas had to birth their rapist’s baby last year, a parent has to sign an affidavit each time their child goes to the library in Idaho, and there’s an open war on Trans people. Folks in red states are living it.

Will wait for a single news outlet to call on Robinson to withdraw from the race.

Keep talking about how Donald Trump is credibly accused of sexually assaulting twelve year old children, with assistance from Epstein.
I saw this was trending and had to google it "The post alleges that Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee for this year's presidential election, "forced" young girls to "perform lesbian sex acts."
Donald Trump, Katie Johnson allegations: Everything we knowwww.newsweek.com Allegations from a lawsuit that was dismissed in 2016 are circulating on social media.

Any outlet that doesn’t cover this story is making a choice to ignore it, and we should be asking why.

Someday I’ll learn to never use the word “unbelievable” to convey hyperbole on the Internet, because it ALWAYS results in a ton of replies from people who feel an intense need to tell me that “well actually, it IS Believable.”
Fucking unbelievable that the big publications are running with this as the lead story after the Supreme Court just promised to install a convicted felon rapist insurrectionist as Emperor for Life.
