Daniel got arrested for putting a know your rights table.

LAPD this is so unnecessary and uncalled for. This is tyranny at the city level.

Thoughts and prayers mean zilch. We demand action and funding/staff restorations.

I got permission to share this, and I'm extremely grateful for that.

The Onion got this letter from one of our subscribers in Alaska. She works with dementia patients and decided to leave a copy in the car for each one.

This email made my year. Read it and you'll see what I mean. People are good.

I work as an elder and hospice caregiver, which I am oddly passionate about. I can love on them shamelessly and no one complains about my codependence. It's a win-win situation.

Many of my caregiving colleagues complain about the repetitive questions and, sometimes reactions, of the elderly, especially when those patients happen to read the newspaper, especially with the current downward spiral of our country — as if these people haven't lived through enough horror...

I love my dementia peeps, but sometimes wonder if there's a Guinness Book World Record for how many times an hour a dementia patient can repeat the same question — it's got to be in the hundreds. At least with small children, they ask different questions. Dementia patients will get stuck on one short question and ask it until you can interrupt their train(carousel) of thought and successfully redirect their attention. That carousel is pretty manic sometimes.

A couple days ago, I picked up my mail from the post office and drove over to the nursing home to take (let's call her "Miss Daisy") Miss Daisy out for a drive. Before we took off on our road trip, to the end of The Road and back, in our landlocked little town (Juneau, Alaska), I set my copy of The Onion down in front of her.

Over our two-hour excursion, tiny Miss Daisy read that front page at least a dozen times and each time she would snicker, giggle, and guffaw, then put it down on the dash board and, a minute later, discover it anew. I think it was the best afternoon of my life. We don't often hear them laugh and when they do, it's the sweetest thing you've ever heard.

...

Thank you, thank you, thank you, for the really important work all of you do. You make the world a better place.

Trump tried to start World War III just to boost his ratings
He wanted to bomb Iran like it’s a video game. No plan, no strategy, just explosions and chaos to look tough!!
How many lives is his ego worth?
This wasnt defense. It was a tantrum with missiles.
This man should never be near power again.

Observe who is the initial aggressor. As protesters and police in Portland got physically involved, tensions increased.

If this was South Korea, Trump would have been arrested a long time ago.

I hope more comes to light & we can actually do something about it.

Turns out that there were major changes made to some voting machines just before the election.

Trump clearly want to instigate catastrophic situations so he can declare martial law.

Too many people talking about how he’s all over the Epstein list.

Welcome to America, where protesting illegal kidnappings without due process is an insurrection, but attacking the nation’s Capitol is not.

Just a reminder even though he opposed the bill NOW, AFTER it passed, Elon Musk is not a good guy.

He wants MORE cut out of what you need.

This is a guy that’s a billionaire for one reason: the US Govt tax breaks and financing
