Turns out, REM was wrong. I do not, in fact, feel fine.

Many historians of Rome identify Roman generals becoming the personal sources of payment for their armies as a key step in the downfall of the Republic, since it personalized military authority and freed armies to fight for their immediate leader, who paid them, instead of for the Republic

I feel like the Trump administration is constantly doing that scene in Lord of the Rings when Bilbo is increasingly menacingly like 'after all, why shouldn't I' but instead of the one ring they're holding crimes against humanity

Adolf Hitler, 1939:

"It is a matter of indifference to me what a weak western civilization will say about me. I have given the order—and I will have anyone who utters but one word of criticism shot—that the aim of the war is not to attain certain lines, but to annihilate the enemy physically.”

Only if your man is an insecure, jealous, self-absorbed, small d*cked child... But thanks @cnn.com , for making it seem like the fact that, despite the persistent global wage gap, somehow women's salaries are the problem.

Better photo of my little guy, who is yes part Frenchie and from a total piece of garbage breeder who dumped him. They are all second chance breeder dumps actually.

A little witch in Halloweentown @halloweentowngirl.bsky.social · Sep 2

Agreed! These are my 3! (My little guy is partially blind because the breeder didn't treat an eye infection, and people like to stick their hands in his face, so I have to muzzle him if we see in highly populated areas.)

the DOJ atty (& 2x Harvard grad) who suggested Harvard showed "wanton indifference to antisemitism" once wrote a paper from the perspective of Hitler & expressed admiration for Mein Kampf

A DOJ lawyer accused Harvard of ‘indifference to antisemitism.’ As a Harvard undergrad he wrote a paper from Hitler’s perspective. - The Boston Globe

Michael Velchik once also told a peer that "Mein Kampf" was among his favorite recent reads.

Imagine how strong the mainstream media incentives to normalize and equivocate must be if they result in a piece that looks at a deranged, anti-science conspiracy theorist devastating public health and goes: "Good questions, just going about it the wrong way... just like Michelle Obama!"

#Attorneys - we are counting on you. You never know when your chance to make a difference will show up, or how. You know you're doing the right thing when power tries to punish you for it... if you do it anyway, you are a fucking HERO and you have my thanks.

Thank you, @qasimrashid.com.

A Florida court detained a US Citizen for being an "illegal immigrant." He showed the court proof of citizenship. The court agreed—& held him anyway.

I criticized the ruling online & a Florida judge responded by trying to strip me of my law license. I fought back www.qasimrashid.com/p/a-florida-...

Just spotted 3 MPD at the Florida & V St NW bus stop. Questioning and hassling people waiting for the bus, clearly just there to intimidate and bother Black people.

Bowser and some Council members can say all they want that the problem is Feds and we can trust MPD, but that’s bullshit.

Make no mistake: if Mark were in college today, this is what he would have created. The site that launched his career existed to rate the hotness of women at his university. Never forget that the entire Meta empire was born from dehumanizing and exploiting women.

Literally nothing would please me more than watching Mark Zuckerberg losing everything he has to a bunch of famous women who sue the s**t out of him for making fake sexbots of them for desperate, whiny dudes.
