Seriously! I am the one pointing. Life of Riley NYC took this photo. December and May is the best time for whales in Rockaway. This was last December. I took my hood off to hear them sing. There were so many. When this was taken, one was right in front of us and apparently this other was on the side

Can you imagine how much Republicans and right wing media outlets would lose their shit if reporters were on a social platform led by a Dem megadonor who actively promoted the far left? They'd go on a crusade. Media outlets would leave or never even have started.

JD Vance just deleted from his website his abortion stance. They lie to get the job.

One thing I’ve never quite understood is why the hottest part of the day in NYC is often around 5pm. Is it something to do with our latitude?

MAGA = fundamentalism because fundamentalism will ignore gross misdeeds like serial sexual assault, grift, fraud, and virulent racism while applauding their leadership for simplistic symbols of “moral” behavior like abstinence from alcohol or being a charismatic “strong leader.”

just waking up and getting to work and encountering the most mind-bogglingly idiotic conversation i've seen in weeks

Trump/Vance 2024

I’m starting to think capitalism is incompatible with humanism.

“The world’s richest man Elon Musk will commit $45m per month to a new Super Pac intended to support Donald Trump’s campaign, the Wall Street Journal reports, citing people familiar with the matter.”

I get that he’s taken it all back, including when he said he feared Trump would be America’s Hitler, but I guess my position is… I have never gone to work for someone I’ve ever in any point in my life compared directly to Adolf Hitler… and it’s a fair question… www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Trump Taps J.D. Vance as Running Matewww.rollingstone.com Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that he has selected Ohio Senator J.D. Vance as his 2024 running mate.

So I guess this makes Vance America’s Göring?

JD Vance called Trump "America's Hitler." Seems like something that should be featured in headlines about Vance deciding to join Trump's campaign.

It's easy to grasp why Trump chose JD Vance as his running mate: He chose a fellow grifter and opportunist.

Do not obey in advance.

Literally the second thing I saw upon opening TikTok this morning. Capitalism at its finest? Opportunism at its finest? Same thing?

Trump at a campaign rally in March in Ohio, Vance’s state: “If we don't win this election, I don't think you're going to have another election in this country. If I don't get elected, it's going to be a bloodbath for the whole country."

Seconded. Am not, never will be MAGA. The label is anathema to everything I believe in. Just like I’d never be KKK, TERF, or Nazi. Thanks!

Just want to put it out there that I am not, in fact, MAGA.

The billionaires who prey on young women together, stick together.

Ah, yes. Of course.

I don’t know what happened at that Trump rally and you don’t either. Waiting for the facts before sounding off is a pretty good idea, even on social media.

Welp here we go...

One of my greatest a disappointments in life was to leave right-wing fundamentalism (forever) because of its cruel and judgmental purity culture only to find that this characteristic of fundamentalism exists on the left too.

Among the many evils of "crisis pregnancy centers": they are not medical providers and so do not follow HIPAA or medical privacy ethics. Instead, they gleefully give away (to right-wing orgs) and sell (to data brokers) all information you give them. They should be illegal.

Google “Massachusetts crisis pregnancy” and this link pops up. It’s part of a statewide campaign, including public signage (highway billboards!), urging people to avoid crisis pregnancy/anti-abortion centers. The Commonwealth is not fucking around with this.

My wife, sister-in-law and niece are in Paris right now and they say the atmosphere is quite incredible. They can hear cheering from everywhere. There are staying near the statue in this image, and said this is what it looked like as they passed by.

BREAKING NEWS: Voters turned out in numbers not seen in decades to stop the far-right National Rally from taking power in the French National Assembly. Polls predicted a first-place finish for National Rally, which instead came in third in initial results as polling stations closed.

So voting is better than *not* voting when it comes to getting what you want? Huh.
