Every time I read a horror story on the skyline about male hygiene (or lack thereof) it makes me wanna take another shower on principle

you can just pronounce J Cole 's name as "Jake Hole" and there's nothing anyone can do about it

This is part of a pattern that is impeachable: Trump cuts previously appropriated Congressional funds, but only to states led by Democrats (California, Colorado, Illinois and Minnesota).

BREAKING: The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.

At the same time, ICE is telling its employees and prosecutors that observers are “domestic terrorists” and agents have been threatening and even arresting such observers. They also then use software that provides the name and addresses of observers, letting them know the government knows their identity and address. Such violations of privacy data are only supposed to occur in the context of a criminal investigation. There have been multiple reports that ICE officials will drive past observers homes to intimidate them.

I am pleased to announce that I have commandeered my neighbor's home. This home will be sold at its Market Price, and that money will be controlled by me, to ensure it is used to benefit my neighbor and me! Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.

Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

It would be so cool if the United States Congress still existed.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.

Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they?

Unconstitutional force. Civilians dead. Congress bypassed. Oil interests front and center.

We’ve seen this movie before and it ends in blood. But we don’t have to do it again.

A case of free will vs. determinism.

Reading Is a Vice Being a reader means cultivating a relationship with the world that, by most standards, can seem pointless and counterproductive.

I like this. Am reminded of how much I loved reading what I wanted to read as a book loving kid, while at the same time I generally hated reading books assigned by teachers.

SNAP is a lifeline for workers in low-wage jobs.

Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.

Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps.

Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

Forbes World’s Most Powerful Women of 2025 Here are the most powerful and influential women in the world. These remarkable leaders are shaping industries, economies, and communities--across commerce, education, and artificial intelligence.

For all the setbacks for the world’s women in 2025, the leaders and vanguards on the 2025 Forbes Power Women list stood as examples of resilience in turbulent times.

Roses and humans grow thorns for the same reasons.

Books are power charges for your brain.

The Supreme Court, Presidency, Senate and two party system are all quite anti-democratic institutions as presently constructed.

Our institutions are not only incapable of preventing tyranny—they’re currently enabling it.

So when folks say things like men should start in Jail, men lack whimsy or men were never well read as toddlers …please spare the anecdotes. That’s gross.
