KAEPERNICK: The part that I hope people take away in this moment is what Robert Kraft and what they’re saying by denying Macklemore is they are openly colluding. They also want people to know that if you take an action that they don’t agree with, they will come for you.
Notice how those “apolitical” people ALWAYS end up siding with the oppressors
If you think you’ve got to lower your hiring standards regarding beastiality in order to get the employees you want, maybe you’re heading in the wrong direction.
The problem that Dems will have in 28 is that they must prosecute & reverse everything this administration did, but the GOP candidates will say “move on” and the complicit American media will also ask, “isn’t it time to move on?”. We have an obligation to make sure nothing like this happens again
They live in a false reality they have built around themselves…..
Don’t believe the lies. Trump is *not* selling $2.8 billion of bombs for Israel’s genocide. It’s worse. Trump is *giving away* $2.8 billion of bombs for Israel’s genocide. American taxpayers are paying for those bombs.
🚨IT BEGINS: Costco is now rationing Kirkland motor oil. A 10-quart pack that once cost as little as $30 is now nearly $58, and members are limited to two every seven days due to the impacts of the Iran War.
Tim Robbins stars as a mailroom clerk who finds himself thrust into the presidency of the giant Hudsucker Corporation. Paul Newman engineers Robbins’ ascendancy because he believes the kid is hopelessly incompetent, and will drive the stock price down, just what Newman desires.

Samuel Alito flew flags used by insurrectionists. Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election. Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the Jan 6 plot. Both ruled in favor of Trump's mail-in ballot sabotage. I don't think I'll ever get over this.
Ossoff: "We are witnessing people drunk with power who are utterly reckless, utterly corrupt, and obviously believe that they live with impunity. They believe they're untouchable. They believe they're invincible. Let's prove them wrong."
Who knew that defacing the building, tearing up its trees, removing its sculptures, replacing the Board with political cronies, giving the finger to every performer who isn’t a Trump voter, and talking down its facilities daily would cause a revenue drop?

Jared Kushner is not "on the other side of the aisle." He's not an elected official. He's not an administration official. He's the president's son-in-law and a private citizen. You do not, in fact, have to take meetings with relatives of the president. Some might even say you should *not* do that
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 4d agoJeffries defends his meeting with Kushner: "I'm of the view that if we're going to be committed to actually solving problems on behalf of the American people ... they're are gonna be times that you have to speak with people on the other side of the aisle. Even people you strongly disagree with."
Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.
