Is there a plug-in that automatically rejects all non-essential cookies? It's crazy that none of the major browsers do this by default. The Euroids and the Californians should just do the world a favor and ban them outright. It has absolutely wrecked the UX of the Internet.

He gave $40B to a foreign dictator, millions for Noem’s jets, he’s trashing the White House for a ballroom and we’re just trying to survive. There should’ve been more than 7 million in the streets on No Kings Day. Come at me but you know I’m right.

Moskowitz: We need $30 billion to extend, obviously, these healthcare subsidies, which allow Americans—Americans, not illegal—Americans, citizens, to afford healthcare.

And the president’s like, “We don’t have $30 billion, but I am going to send $40 billion to my dear friend in Argentina.”

What’s different about this shutdown? In past ones, Congress passed enough bills to keep parts of the gov running. This time, none. Economists say it’s trimming 0.1–0.2% of annual growth each week, about $7.6 to $15.2 billion lost weekly in stalled work and unpaid hours. Ouch.

It wasn't anti-white to support boycotting South African teams under apartheid.

It's not Russophobia to support boycotting Russian teams after the invasion of Ukraine.

And it's not antisemitism to support boycotting Israeli teams after a genocide.

The reason that ICE keeps their faces concealed is because if they could be identified, it would show that A LOT of them are part of far right wing militias and hate groups that participated in the J6 Capitol Riots.
