Robert Jones, Jr. (@robertjonesjr) An undeniable message from an enlightened young man. We must keep him safe and protected at all costs. https://www.tiktok.com/@allpower2allpeople/video/7610981875619794189

I’ve been feeling this without being able to articulate it for some time now.

This is brilliantly said.

This kind of bullshit propping up of the patriarchy is EXACTLY the problem. You go around telling people it can’t happen and they will begin to think that voting for a woman means throwing their vote away.

KNOCK IT OFF!

Nothing says β€œthank you, farmers” like spiking diesel prices the moment spring planting beginsβ€”right before they fill up every tractor and run them 24/7 for field prep and planting just to get the season started

Imagine telling the whole world that you’re liberating the women of Iran and the first thing you do is target and kill 100 schoolgirls

A reminder that white nationalism isn't just abhorrent, it's stupid.

My takeaway from the figure skating exhibition gala is that more sports need "ok now let's do a silly one"

I wanna see track runners three legged race
I wanna see shot put dunk tank
I wanna see shooting paintball

It's like last year when the F1 drivers raced real working lego cars.

I switched to using KnitCompanion on my tablet about 10 years ago and will NEVER go back. That yellow line (you can change the color) slides to highlight the row you’re on.

First time working a sewn bind off (here on the neckline of the Alchemist pullover) and I am IN LOVE!

It’s too time consuming to use everywhere, but for an elegant, smooth finish on a neck? *chef’s kiss

Someone brilliant recently said, "Companies are annoyed they have to go through you to get your money."

And I think Dems are the same way.
The DNC/Dem leadership is annoyed they have to appeal to voters to get our votes. They think they're entitled to our votes simply by being "not the GOP."

If this country was truly β€œpro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.

The right-wing agenda isn’t about β€œlife.”

It’s about control.

London may be a dreary, drizzly nightmare most winter days, but I do love a moody evening sky

This would be an even better idea if he offered alternatives to all the things he wants us to quit. Living in a cave doesn’t really sound like a viable option. And the β€œooh I’d quit Instagram too if I didn’t need it”? Hypocrisy.

I swear to god I am blocking every goddamn account that posts Norman Rockwell’s painting Freedom of Speech with inane text.

GAH!

Jeff Bezos’s wealth has increased an average of $70 million every day of 2026, meaning that he could have offset The Post’s losses with what he’s made since Monday.
