I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

Yeah, so when one side is like, "Maybe unfettered access to guns is bad and school shootings need to be stopped and trans people deserve to exist" and the other side is like "Fuck you" this isn't a "both sides are valid" type of world anymore.

Attention young people: please, while you are still young, do yourselves a favor and eat all of the dairy and fried food that your body can handle.
Because north of 40 you will literally be in physical pain when you try and eat these things.
Also register to vote. That's important, too.

Yes. I also felt this way about the assassinations in Minnesota. In fact, I continue to feel this way about the assassinations in Minnesota.
Feel like one political party kidnapping an opponent should be bigger news

“I’ve had enough…I’m refusing to back down.”
Texas state Rep. Nicole Collier speaks to MSNBC from the Texas State Capitol. She is stuck there after the Texas GOP required police surveillance as condition for release. She is refusing to sign a waiver for the law enforcement escort.

When a network lays off one of America’s greatest satirists, it’s not because he failed. It’s because he succeeded too loudly.

I keep seeing people say things like, “Well we’re not going to HAVE elections,” and with all due respect, I think this is both wildly pessimistic and also wildly naive.
We are not going to have free and fair elections. We also have not had them in the past.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

Can someone more well versed than me in EU261 confirm that the representative from American Airlines is straight up lying to me here? They're saying she's entitled to only $600, but earlier in the email they confirm she's entitled to 75% of the value of her downgraded ticket.
