Gay men who lack the
courage and honesty to
accept and embrace their
true sexuality should stay
out of politics.

They’re easily manipulated
by blackmailers, and you
should never trust anyone
whose whole life is a lie.

The ongoing disposition of the speaker of the house that he doesn’t know a goddamn thing about anything is a solid foundation for him to be included in an article 2 section 4 action.

Q: This has been reported for a while. Cory Mills was accused of beating a girlfriend in his DC apt. Are you concerned about these allegations?

JOHNSON: You have to ask Rep. Mills about that. He's been a faithful colleague. I don't know the details. Let's talk about things that are really serious

Hello everyone.

Antifa is not a real organization.

Proud Boys are.

Oath Keepers are.

Patriot Front is.

KKK is.

Heritage Foundation is.

Antifa is not.

Thanks for your attention.

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

Because the corporate media in this country is fucking owned by oligarchs. Same with social media. BlueSky is barely passing by with the recent behavior of their CEO and we just essentially have a media ecosystem devoid of substance and fat with bullshit.

This isn’t a peace plan. It’s a ceasefire. Why is the media calling it a peace plan?

A Bronx family lived without utilities for over 6 weeks after they were shut off without explanation.

The landlord, despite receiving severe violation notices, didn't fix the problem.

HPD couldn’t turn the utilities back on, so it issued the family a vacate order.

These Bronx Tenants Lived Six Weeks Without Water and Power. The City’s Fix? A Vacate Order

The plight of the Ramos family reveals the weaknesses in the City's system to protect tenants from unlivable conditions—and from being put out on the street.

When democrats or progressives take back power I expect ZERO FUCKING EXCUSES as to why we can’t do everything we have been screaming to be done for years.

If Trump can wreck the country unilaterally, then fuck him we can rebuild it.

AZ AG Mayes: If I have to, I’ll take Speaker Johnson to court. There's no legitimate reason for him to refuse to swear her in right now. And it's not fair for Mike Johnson to be holding the state of Arizona hostage because he doesn't want to release the Epstein files.
