You are angry and anxious because
you never agreed to live in a burning
home while the people who should
care pretend the fire doesn't exist.

Distress
is a valid emotional response
to injustice.

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

We might lose Notre Dame-USC soon for embarrassingly silly reasons. What better time to look back at train rides, Heisman winners, The Comeback, green jerseys, Joe Montana, 1 vs. 2 and, of course, the Bush Push?

Something that I don’t think most non-terminally online liberals are aware of is the degree to which young Republicans are basically unrecoverably feral men, a generation of Oskar Dirlewangers who all speak like Instagram influencers and Twitch streamers

NEW: Pentagon officials are forcing staff to watch Pete Hegseth's "Warrior" speech he forced generals to listen to.

Officials are even "testing" staff to see if they watched — and are threatening consequences if they lie about watching it or if they mock it, sources tell @swin24.bsky.social and I.

Defense Department sources tell Zeteo that staff have been warned that if they don’t watch or read the speech, or if they speak negatively of it, they could face severe consequences.

Unsurprisingly, they did not care enough to help the family as they tried to save him. Even more unsurprising, they did not find any evidence of the migrants they were there to terrorize in the first place.
