lol liars, every one. Chicago cops threatened to quit if Brandon Johnson was elected mayor. Police union leader LITERALLY threatened "blood in the streets," saying between 800 to 1,000 would walk.

Guess what never happened.

And even if they'd made good on that threat... OK??? BYE????

Lmao is this supposed to be a bad thing?

A tweet from Bari Weiss that says “"It's shaken me to my core," a lieutenant said of Mamdani's unexpected victory in June. "The absolute dread I feel is palpable.

Today in @TheFP our @Olivia_Reingold talks to the cops who say they will walk if Zohran Mamdani is elected in November:”

Extinguishing MLK's Eternal Flame is both outrageous and a hell of a metaphor for right now www.wsbtv.com/news/local/a...

Eternal flame at Martin Luther King Jr.’s Atlanta burial site destroyed

Police say the man also urinated in the reflective pool.

A good chunk of the people that tell y’all not to vote on “identity politics” told y’all to withhold your vote for democrats…BECAUSE OF GAZA.

I’m gonna let y’all sit and marinate on that for a while 🤷🏾‍♀️

Don't know who else to share this with. Today I discovered "Mountain Dew Sweet Lighting". And...

Did anyone ask for Peach flavored Mountain Dew that's the color of a nuclear yellow-orange toxic spill?

THIS is election tampering. That it's not headline news is baffling.

Okay. Not baffling. Just further proof that the Fourth Estate has been bought by right-wing extremists, like 80% of our media.

Today's TV Show recommendation is the historical comedy "Our Flag Means Death".

Stede Bonnet, a pampered aristocrat, abandons his life of privilege to become a pirate in the early 18th century.

Streaming on Max, two amazing seasons. Historical Drama x RomCom x Farce. Original & wonderful.

Promotional poster for the TV Show "Our Flag Means Death" on HBO Max, showing much of the cast.

Be prepared to spend the big bucks. Our grocery store was selling bags of Halloween candy for $25-30 a bag. And not even the BIG bags.

Nah. I have no forgiveness for ANYONE that didn't explicitly show up and vote for Hillary in 2016, Biden in 2020, and Harris in 2024. Period. NO GRACE FOR THOSE WHO ENABLED ALL OF THIS.
