Adelita Grijalva won her Congressional race fair and square THREE WEEKS ago.

Mike Johnson’s refusal to seat her is an absolute disgrace.

Seat her now. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

Who is Adelita Grijalva and why hasn't she been sworn in to Congress yet?

Democrats are ramping up the pressure on House Speaker Mike Johnson to swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva, an Arizona Democrat who won a special election last month to succeed her late father.

I think the leak of the incredibly racist young republican group chat only furthers the argument that millennials were the only generation able to use the computer without going insane, mostly because the computer was once a place separate from the real world. but now the real world is also computer

that a bunch of billionaires have been irreversibly brainwormed by getting addicted to a glorified chat room adds credence to my theory that spending too much time on IRC as a child acts as a powerful inoculant to the worst impulses of an escalatory group dynamic

I also know guys on the hill who said that they basically had to start avoiding common spots because republican staffers and conservative think tankers all become raving freaks who rant about insane shit.

You might think Ryan is exaggerating but I used to go to a regular dinner that gradually got taken over by young Republican staffers and I promise you he is not.

For the past at least five years, many of the world’s most prominent academics and journalists have been openly pushing the idea that people need to be “exposed” to bigoted ideas and taught by bigoted professors. Why are we then surprised when we find bigots in charge of our children?

Remember when Stephen Miller claimed the Chicago apartment raid was on a building “filled with Tren de Aragua terrorists”?

Well, DHS has now dropped the number of alleged TdA members arrested in the building from 2 to 1.

Just one "verified" Tren de Aragua member and one U.S. citizen with an active warrant were among the 37, DHS said, without saying how it had verified that gang affiliation. Others taken that day, the agency said, were "illegal aliens."

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

Drew Struzan's art had more of an impact on a couple generations of people that maybe any other artist in the past fifty years. We'll never see his like again, and the fact that his work was phased out for being too "old fashioned" remains a crime for which Hollywood can never atone.

Drew Struzan was a legend. “Iconic” seems inadequate for how linked his art is with the popular memory of so many movies.

There are a lot of Onion/Clickhole articles that have become meme-ified to the point that they serve as short-hand responses to posts - "Worst Guy You Know Makes Great Point," "No way to stop this says only place it happens," etc, but I feel like this is an underutilized one.

Few artists’ entire body of work have meant as much to me over the course of my life as Drew Struzan’s has. With his gift every movie felt epic & important whether the artwork was framed in the movie theater lobby or sitting on the video store shelf.
