Unsurprising to anyone paying attention to that administration...

85% of the people granted pardons or clemency this year by trump are white, and Jan. 6 defendants made up 90% of those who benefited, according to a report compiled by Rep. Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
85% of people given federal pardons or clemency this year are white, House lawmaker’s report says
“Donald Trump’s use of clemency and pardons has neglected many of the most marginalized and impacted communities,” the office of Rep. Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., said.

Literally nobody has ever referred to her as a "birthing person," yet the existence of the term was enough to turn her into a full-on anti-trans crusader.
Ana Kasparian claims the left turned on her over her opposition to being called a "birthing person".

Ana Kasparian: "I don't have kids, I don't want to have kids, and I don't want to be called a 'birthing person', I find it super insulting."

Just straight up unfiltered racism and xenophobia.
Leavitt: "The Trump admin is now actively reexamining all of the Afghans imported into the country by Biden. Any individual who threatens our national security or citizenry will be subject to removal. Trump has already permanently paused migration of foreign nationals from 3rd world countries"

Today I learned that the SS Arthur M Anderson, the last ship in contact with the SS Edmund Fitzgerald before she sank on November 10, 1975... and the first ship to search in vain for survivors... is 73 years old and it was hauling freight on the Great Lakes in 2024. Blew my mind.

Nancy Pelosi is retiring.

It's a sign of their intelligence when a politician sees it's time to walk away from a position of power and make room for younger generations to take over.

I hope some of the other octogenarians in Congress follow her suit. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

I just had a Paul Revere truther reply to a comment I made on another site. She was insisting that Paul Revere is fictional. 🤦‍♀️

I know he was turned into a sort of folk hero by Longfellow's poem, but c'mon you can still visit his grave and his house in Boston.

“The change was expected, as the Trump administration has, mostly, argued in recent weeks that it has no obligation to grant retroactive compensation to employees, despite President Trump in 2019 signing into law a measure that guaranteed it in all future shutdowns.”

Cool.

The old bathroom was charming, and the green reminded me of something Mamie Eisenhower or Bess would have picked...

The new bathroom looks like something you'd find at a 3 star hotel in Atlantic City.
sure, you might not be able to eat or go to the doctor, but check out how nice Trump's new marble shitter is
