During tonight’s Trick-or-Treating, our 3-year-old got more and more excited.
“More houses! More candy!”
Until he suddenly looked to the sky and shouted (verbatim):
“Can I eat the moon!?”
Don’t let anyone tell you you can’t, little one. Be the cosmic horror you want to see in the world.

If you want or need SNAP benefits, literally the only barrier should be...signing up.

We should all be disgusted by the flood of anti-Muslim remarks spewed in the aftermath of Zohran Mamdani’s victory in the NYC mayoral primary — some blatant, others latent.
Shame on the members of Congress who have engaged in such bigotry and anyone who doesn’t challenge it.

You can’t. It’s over. They must be rooted out of power anywhere and everywhere and held responsible for the mass death they caused around the planet. Two months ago I said American politics of the past is over and I say it again—We must accept the end so we can begin again.
I genuinely do not see how it is possible to share a democracy with a party like this which is a coin toss away from power every election cycle.
House Speaker Mike Johnson calls for the Senate to "censure" Alex Padilla after he was restrained and handcuffed by FBI agents at Kristi Noem's presser, adding that it is "wildly inappropriate behavior."
So it looks like Republicans want to escalate this!

As usual with these dust-ups she is retreating to the ‘compromise’ position that sporting bodies should make standards about transition.
The problem is that THIS HAS ALREADY HAPPENED. Standards have been in place for years. Lia Thomas met them! The bigots don’t care.

Lol. She fucking apologized to Riley Gaines.
I knew staying out of praising her for the weakest of allyship while partially throwing trans people under the bus was the right choice.
