Imagine being Usha, watching your husband say it's totally fine to hate your own people. That's gotta be humbling.
Genuinely I hope Biden can't sleep at night.
Are we healthy again?
WHERE THE FUCK IS DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP???

the 2nd amendment literally exists to answer this question lol
they are stealing data from the american people and depriving us of the transparency that we are entitled to by law. none of this is legal and not a single federal employee has any reason to comply.

A really fun thing about groups who are pro-transit is how many of them are openly, loudly eugenicist and will not listen to people who are disabled reminding them that disabled people also need transit services.
This is also part of why the PhD is being devalued as a degree. More women than men get PhDs now.
Jewish website news article: "If you support the Palestinian cause in any form, you're facilitating Jew-hate."
At least they are saying it honestly now.
The goal is to destroy solidarity between Jews/Israelis & Palestinians as well as make Palestinian life itself taboo.
I'm a Jewish writer, leader, and activist and I will keep building with my Palestinian siblings no matter how much pressure is put on us.
trump’s apparent obsession with invading canada — and obsession with territorial conquest in general — is only funny insofar that you can use it to make fun of dipshits who backed or apologizes for him because he was “antiwar.” otherwise, it is genuinely quite concerning.
Still the best two sentences on climate action.
