Dear everything that is holy.

People.

I know from battle scars and war wounds and PTSD and raised racist and watching filth.

I am not perfect. I hurt people from my damage sometimes.

What I have never done is rape anyone or get a fucking Nazi tattoo. Stop infantilizing your cultural heroes.

👀 “I have no idea…where the system got this entire story in her chart. Because of the fake “Frank Capra movie” style names…I have a very unsettled feeling this is from a movie, TV show, or novel. Is …AI…pulling things “it has heard” from these…sources?”

Nothing is going to magically fix itself. The White House is being torn down. The federal government is literally closed. There are armed and dangerous federal troops and vigilantes in our streets, abducting us. State governments sweeping thousands into disappearance for being homeless. But people

Have you ever gone to pay your rent and there's a $3 fee on top of rent? Or maybe it costs $10 to pay with a credit card? Yeah. So that convenience/junk fee is actually illegal in several states.

Landlords do this all the time — but it's often illegal and makes the lease void.

“Leveraging the presidency for profit” is a lotta words for “through bribery”
“Trump added $3 billion over the last year [to his net worth], leveraging the presidency for profit.”

Not a typo. Billion. With a “b.”

this insistence that the lil Hitler Youth Group Chat is how "we" "all" talk reminds me of a tweet I saw once where a dude was like "you know how bellybuttons all smell like ten thousand raw buttholes?"
Looks like this needs to be said again today.

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.

The President is building an army to attack his own country.
Every fucking day now.

“New dietary guidelines ... stress the need to eat saturated fats of dairy, of good meat, of fresh meat and vegetables … it will give everybody the rationale for driving it into our schools,” Kennedy said.

“This is not about drugs, it’s not about Venezuela, it’s not about anything else but this new assertion by the president that the U.S. military will kill anyone he points at, for any reason he deems sufficient.”

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.

I glanced down at the message.

“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.

So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

If you had asked me how remoras attach to sharks, I probably would have assumed biting mouth parts, like a leech or tick.

I would not have assumed they evolved a hydraulic-powered suction cup on their head.

Let's discuss the why, how, what of remoras (Family Echeneidae)

Friends, the climate at the University of Texas is the most hostile I have experienced in my entire career, and the hostility is directed at the most vulnerable students, faculty, staff and departments/programs. UT has become the test case for the implementation of Project 2025 in Higher Education

A driver intentionally drove their car up on the curb to hit a protester in Ohio yesterday.

This is the protester’s reaction, broken leg and all.

You may break our bones, but you will not break our spirit.
