Philly people: lots of words will get your post into the feed linked below, such as “Schuylkill” or “cheesesteak” or “Phanatic.” If your post is Philly-specific but doesn’t have obvious Philly keywords (“Someone just mooned the Portal”), stick a single 🔔 somewhere in the post & it goes in the feed.
I am in a college prep Zoom for parents of high school juniors with a financial aid counselor from the state currently speaking. She needs to say the acronym "FAFSA" approximately three times per minute and she is saying "FASFA" every time.

I appreciate that when the NYT front page shit all over the newfangled "telephone" in 1877, they took the time to absolutely cook people from Philadelphia

Nothing makes me angrier than being thanked for my patience when I was not being patient. I was dissociating and planning revenge

I've started blocking randos for not understand jokes. It probably took a decade for me to get to that point on Twitter, so this platform is developing quite precociously.

Is this the most racist post by an official US government account?
Trumps' DHS says that America would be better off if every non-citizen got deported, even if they have legal status - plus, tens of millions of citizens from the "third world" should go.

More extreme (and racist) than the "mass deportations" than Trump ran on. Dems should have lots of answers.

Once I was in Philly in like 2003 and saw a billboard and the slogan was “McNabb a sub!”

Even today, 20 years later and apropos nothing I think to myself “McNabb a sub!”

As a practical matter, I don't think individuals or private businesses can/will withhold their federal payroll taxes, but blue state and city governments could stop sending their employee tax withholdings to the IRS. Keep withdrawing them but put them in escrow until President Grandpa blinks.

A more appropriate degree has never been conferred than his BS in Economics.
Trump: "When the market goes up, they should lower rates. You want to see 20 percent and 25 percent, you want to see what we can do? We've gotta go back to an old standard. When there's good news, the market should go up, not go down."

"Think about all the possible crimes this non-criminal was prevented from committing in the future" is a mindset that doesn't lead anywhere good.

I don't understand why it hasn't broken through that CBP and ICE have a pattern, going on more than a decade and very much continuing into the present, of deliberately stepping in front of cars in order to justify shooting the drivers trying to get away from them. Ask these guys about that!
Mike Johnson on Renee Good: "This woman was taunting ICE officers. She was impeding law enforcement. She was violating a number of laws. They were very patient ... what I saw was she hit the accelerator and hit the ICE officer and he reacted in a split second."
