This is your annual advance reminder that you will never look at a photograph or video of fireworks again, nor will it be of any real interest to your social media contacts. Just look with your own gelatinous human eyes.

New Alexandria flag just dropped

lmaoooooo, Noah Lyles' face at seeing a 19.60

A fresh start is Democrats'--and thus the country's--best bet of fending off Trump this year and, crucially, four years from now. Parties that have an incumbent in office for two terms rarely win a third in a row.
