Now jake traitor has a problem? Wanted to cash in on bashing Biden. Where's his book on dementia don or tripping mitch glitch? I don't want to hear anything jake has to say, unless it's "I'm sorry" and "I pulled my book"

Because of Chancellor Cheeto's weak mind and foreign policy, we're inching closer to world War 3. That will then be part of his legacy. Great job orange oaf

Disgusting! It can never be replaced. Chancellor Cheeto's ballroom will never be as beautiful, regal, or valuable as that tree

Juneteenth went uncelebrated by the White House.

That alone says everything you need to know about this racist regime.

Today they have crossed a deep red line.

We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

Picking radishes is no easy task. Efrén spends 8-10 hrs/day on his knees, picking and sorting the radishes into small bunches to fill dozens of crates a day in CA's Ventura County. He's proud to have worked in America's fields for 49 years. #WeFeedYou

We’ve uncovered fraud, waste, and abuse! ICE has now exceeded its congressionally approved budget. ICE is violating the Antideficiency Act by spending beyond Congressional authorization.

Trying to distract by blaming China while actually eroding free speech as usual

Set up a "school watch" of native born parents who can be present on school grounds to witness or stop these Ice agents? It might deter their illegal actions, they're cowards

Sorry to any blue voters in Tx, but big tough Texas and Texas Republicans love danger and violence so they should be fine with unexpected weather events. They voted for pain and suffering. Reap it, Congrats

I hope you don't because even if it's flawed, having protests look like BLM wouldn't help the cause. The people power and rose revolution are examples of peaceful protests that brought change

Haha! Love this letter from Douglas Adams to his US editor about not Americanising the text of Hitchhiker's Guide. 🐋🌸

Dear Byron,
Thanks for the script of the novel. I don't know what happened to the
first one. It may have been a victim of the office move (see above).
I'll respond as quickly and briefly as possible.
One general point. A thing I have had said to me over and over again
whenever I've done public appearances and readings and so on in the
States is this: Please don't let anyone Americanise it! We like it the
way it is!
There are some changes in the script that simply don't make sense.
Arthur Dent is English, the setting is England, and has been in every
single manifestation of HHGG ever. The 'Horse and Groom' pub that
Arthur and Ford go to is an English pub, the 'pounds' they pay with

are English (but make it twenty pounds rather than five- inflation) So
why suddenly 'Newark' instead of 'Rickmansworth'? And
'Bloomingdales' instead of 'Marks & Spencer'? The fact that
Rickmansworth is not within the continental United States doesn't
mean that it doesn't exist! American audiences do not need to feel
disturbed by the notion that places do exist outside the US or that
people might suddenly refer to them in works of fiction. You
wouldn't, presumably, replace Ursa Minor Beta with 'Des Moines'.
There is no Bloomingdales in England, and Bloomingdales is not a
generic term for large department stores. If you feel that referring to
"Marks & Spencer' might seriously freak out Americans because they
haven't heard of it (or because Marks and Spencer owns Brooks
Brothers) we could either put warning stickers on the cover ("The text
of this book contains references to places and institutions outside the
continental United States and may cause offence to people who haven't
heard of them") or you could, I suppose, put 'Harrods', which most
people will have heard of. Or we could even take the appalling risk of
just recklessly mentioning things that people won't have heard of and
see if they survive the experience. They probably will - when people
are born they haven't heard of anything or anywhere, but seem to get
through the first few years of their lives without ill-effects.

Peaceful protests are successful 53% of the time. Violent protests are successful 26% of the time according to Erica Chenoweth. It only takes 3.5% of the population, about 11M in the US. We had 5.2M 2 days ago, we're half way there
