This is Nathan Cavanaugh, another DOGE staffer explaining how he flagged grants at NEH for "DEI" which would be reviewed for termination. 404 Media has reviewed hours of this footage and we'll have more soon.

Liberalism: A Future Worth Wanting At Liberalism.org, we're here to build. Here's why you should join us.

I know there are parts of Bluesky that hate the term, but I think liberalism is grand, and not just worth defending, but worth viewing at the best way to a better future for everyone. That’s why my team and I at @theihs.org have launched @liberalism.org. And here’s what I mean by β€œliberalism”:

The problem is compounded by people who caught a dose of Covid after their vaccinations and attribute injuries from the infection to the vaccination instead.

Murphy: β€œI think it’s likely the U.S. carried out this attack on this school β€” I think it's unforgivable under any circumstances, but the fact that this was one of our 1st targeting decisions, that this mistake was made on the 1st day of war β€” I think speaks to the incompetence of our leadership”

With a broken Blue Bomber heart, I am no longer the voice of Mega Man.

I was asked to return for Mega Man: Dual Override, but only on the condition I work without the protections of a union contract.

Do you guys remember when Michael Bloomberg wanted to reduce portion size in sodas and the right had to be physically removed from their fainting couches with construction cranes?

An edited version of the XKCD comic #2347 titled "Dependencies"

It shows a large stack of irregularly sized blocked stacked on one another. They are labelled "The Global Economy"

In the lower right there is a single small block that is clearly supporting the entire tower above it. It is labelled "A Very Narrow Strip Of Water Between Iran And Gulf States"

These comments are not only wrong, but they are dangerous and will feed more antisemitism in our country. 

Is it really worth throwing Jews under the bus to advance your political ambitions?

Worth thinking about in advance what it'll look like when certain Democrats defect in 2028 to the GOP over the most mild criticism of Israel from the presidential nominee (who will not be Newsom, but in all likelihood will be far more critical than him)

Mr Luxon is one of those very rare people whom its impossible to apply a theory of mind. Can you imagine his inner life in any form but its absence? The only books he reads are self-help. He cannot maintain an exchange of complex thoughts. Every interview descends into banalities within minutes

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for
