“I have usernames older than you.”.
Holy shit

So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.

That's roughly $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

People do not want this.

They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

At risk of sounding repetitive, what happened on the border doesn't stay on the border. Listen to us locals when we tell you they're killing us

The DNC should name Jasmine Crockett Official Democratic Spokesperson and let her loose on MAGA/GOP

"She pointed out that Immigration and Customs agents killed another American citizen, Ruben Ray Martinez, in the coastal Texas town of South Padre Island nearly a year ago — which went largely unnoticed and was not linked to ICE until last month. " theintercept.com/2026/03/04/j...

"“What happened on the border didn’t stay on the border,” Garcia Grewal said. “The rest of the country is waking up to what we’ve been experiencing here for years.”

Props in Texas. Both. Parties. Are. Not. The. Same.

Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks.

They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors.

Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption.

Watch how they vote this week.

American soldiers are being killed because the president doesn’t want you to know that he raped little children for decades. And if I’m wrong, sue me, asshole.

For years on my old blog I published the names of servicemembers who died in Iraq & Afghanistan. No other outlets were.

These are the first 4 Americans to die in the Iran War.
Capt. Cody A. Khork, 35
Sgt. 1st Class Noah L. Tietjens, 42
Sgt. 1st Class Nicole M. Amor, 39
Sgt. Declan J. Coady, 20

Doomscrolling is the weaponization of literacy

So much easier to vote on day 1 of early voting. Still haven't been first to the polls, but I have hopes that it'll happen on day

Nailed it

Wait what? Americans don't get healthcare because our navy is escorting oil tankers? The finest sailors in the whole wide world have been reduced to riding shotgun for floating barges?

The Republicans are definitely in a cult. They're usually so tight wallets squeak when they try to open them

They are literally assholes. The rule for going to war should be that those making the decision need to send themselves and their families to fight first.

This may seem trivial to people who use the word "sportsball" online, but remember that, for many Americans, the events that finally drove home the severity of COVID was the cancellation of March Madness.

🍿 MTG still making sense. This past year really has felt like we’re living in the upside down.

The glibness. The indifference. The carelessness. The utter lack of planning for a war against a country of 90M. The sickness of a man who acts on whim that will kill thousands not hundreds. The horror of a regime that enables this sickness. The broken body politic that votes in such malignancy.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

-Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

Medical experiments on prisoners?

Where have we seen this before?

Minnesota would like a word.

Even MAGA Republicans Hate Plans to Put a Border Wall in Big Bend Virtually no one, it seems, thinks a physical barrier in the region is a good idea. The Trump administration is rushing to build one anyway.

they are doing it

It calls for an evaluation of all pending proceedings under the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA), which was first passed in 1974 and amended in 1976 to prevent lenders from discriminating against women based on marital status.

When a company in an industry built on hype tells you that a use case is a bad idea—and actually dangerous—that means it’s a *catastrophically* bad idea.

Dang, just realized we had an empty spot in the car, I coulda taken one more person to early voting

Me and my besties voted early. How 'bout you? How many folks did you carpool to the polls with?

I'm begging my fellow politicians, Illinoisans, and Americans to realize that right now, we aren't fighting over policy or political party.

We're fighting over whether we're going to be a country rooted in empathy and kindness — or one rooted in cruelty and rage.

I can't remember if I sent his office postcards from Fiji, I feel like I did for a couple of @DemsAbroad issues.

I will say that Will Hurd's office was good about responding to my calls and emails and faxes and letters. Way more than I can say for Cornyn or Cruz.
