The nor’easter prompted NY and NJ to declare states of emergency. Streets are flooded and tens of thousands of homes remain without power. In flooded Surf City, NJ, a small shark was spotted swimming through the floodwaters on a residential street. www.timesnownews.com/world/us/us-...
You know, if you *really* cared about the wellbeing of women in college, instead of carping about the statistically insignificant number of trans athletes in sports minding their own business, you’d be railing against these Cornell fraternity cretins who drugged and gang-raped a passed-out women:
I hope so. This is the best chance we’ve ever had at flipping a seat in Texas. Not only do people seem to really like Talarico, Paxton is a generationally awful candidate. One thing to note: if they’re spending this much money in Texas, they’re fucking terrified.
For the Texans out there - vote Talarico if you want to change the 30 years of decline in your state
37 more wounded troops. Added quietly. No explanation. Here's the No B.S. truth: when anyone (a vendor, a CEO, a government) revises the numbers without telling you why, the silence IS the message. 861 wounded. Their families deserve the full story.
The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed... "How will you pay for it?" The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts... "How much do you need?" It doesn't have to be this way.
Talarico: "I am extending an open hand to all of our neighbors who supported the president in the last election and inviting them to join this movement we are building across the state"
Talarico: "Corrupt politicians are profiting off a corrupt war and Texans are literally paying the price ... this war in Iran is a disaster. It is killing Americans, driving up the price of gas and diesel, it is wrecking our moral standing around the world. And it must end."
The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020 — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.
For just a moment, the world saw their true nature. This is a real photo. F*cking chilling.
"We're here today to say... war criminals are not welcome in this city &.. this is bigger than just Netanyahu. This is about the fact that our govt has been funding and enabling genocide & apartheid & it has to stop" Beth Miller from Jewish Voice for Peace in New York yesterday.
Actress Susan Sarandon being arrested earlier today for protesting Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech at the United Nations. One is speaking out against genocide, one is committing it. One was arrested, one was not.
Talarico wants data centers to pay for their own grid upgrades, recycle their water, create real jobs, & get a community's consent before moving in. Paxton took nearly $500,000 from the industry. Texans want a senator who fights for them. That's why we will have a #BlueWaveIn40Days
NO FLUID was found in Nolan Wells' lungs or airways, per the autopsy report by the Mississippi State Medical Examiner. How do you die by "accidental drowning" if there is no water in your lungs?
The cervical punch biopsy and colposcopy was easily the worst pain I’ve felt in my entire life.

CNN pulled a clip of Michele Tafoya recently saying "I've never said I was embarrassed to be from Minnesota" and then displays an unearthed and deleted tweet of her saying "I am embarrassed to be from Minnesota" 🥴
This is an absolute disaster from a national security perspective. Obviously, a lot on F-35s is classified, but a weapons-bay door and a canopy with radar-absorbing material are some of the most sensitive. Hard to describe how bad this is.

MacFarlane: The president doesn't have surrogates in congress defending this media ban. If they are, they're awfully quiet about it. And that tells the tale…
