I will also say that it’s a bit wild to me that no press freedom organization or professional journalistic association has tried to contact me or even put out a statement here.

I mean Jesus Christ. A little solidarity from institutions would be nice here!

Nothing screams "qualified to oversee the nation's Homeland Security" like hosted a radio show, fought in cage matches, and ran a plumbing business.

And let's not forget his other qualification: 2nd dumbest member of the Senate (beaten out by Tommy Tuberville).

Not my dog, just watching her again while my friend is away. She goes back today, and I’m quite sad. She’s without any doubt the best dog I’ve ever met.

Gen Z males twice as likely as baby boomers to believe wives should obey husbands Global survey shows young men and boys hold more traditional views about gender roles than older generations

I sense twice as many Gen Z dudes will not be getting anywhere near a woman anytime soon

Tesla sued after Austin shooting suspect allegedly assaulted co-worker A 65-year-old woman says the automaker ignored warning signs before Ndiaga Diagne, the suspect in Sunday’s mass shooting, assaulted her. She sued Thursday.

the Austin mass shooter was a Tesla employee who assaulted a coworker during a company-allowed prayer break late last year

the company refused to give the victim her assailant's name so she could press charges, and he went on to become a mass shooter

I keep thinking about how working class people will suffer so much if the price of gas spikes and the government continues to spend $1B/day on international conflict (plus ICE's budget for immigration raids) instead of education, research, international aid, clean energy, and healthcare

As Rachel points out on her Instagram, notice that the guy at the front has a Totenkopf on his quarter zip.

That's why Maine Democrats should not let anyone displaying Nazi symbols near the United States Senate

I am getting *very* close to getting this thing working! There were some optical bits missing, which, miraculously I was able to purchase, and I just won my fight with a very seized up fan motor.

Letting Kristi Noem give a press conference before she realizes she’s fired is a pretty hardcore start to white history month

Stephen Miller at an international conference about cartels: "These organizations can only be defeated with military power. I see some heads nodding because they understand. You're dealing with a lot of lawyers in your own country, I'm sure. You have my permission not to listen to them."
