"this sub kills fascists" written on a subway sub.
One last time for my creation lol
Bucks County PA is famously 50/50. in 2024 Trump won it 49.39% to 49.32%.
Yesterday their ICE-loving sheriff was defeated by a No Kings protester. 55 to 44. The tide is turning.
And people loved it enough to give him four terms.
Negotiation, Republican style: if you want 16 million people to eat you have to let 30 million people lose their health care. This is what they’re demanding when they say “just vote for a clean bill”.
They could use the SNAP contingency fund as in past shutdowns but choose not to.
I've never seen a Pollock anything like this, but maybe you didn't stay til the end?
He realized there were hills. The gravy seals can't run uphill.
The law that "provides emergency medical care to illegal immigrants" is called EMTALA. It requires ERs to stabilize any patient before transferring or discharging them. If you have a heart attack or accident and don't have ID on you it will save your life too. Getting rid of it is stupid.
1. Posse Comitatus Act: illegal for federalized NG to be used for law enforcement against Americans.
2. UCMJ: soldiers have a sworn duty to disobey illegal orders.
3. Nuremberg precedent: following orders is no defense against prosecution for acts committed while in uniform.
@smithsonianmag.bsky.social Rest assured, this administration will not last forever. And the quislings who capitulate will not be treated kindly by history. A brief walk through your own museum will show you how dictators, and those who cooperate with and enable them, end up.

Not risking my couch anywhere near JD Vance, thanks anyway.

Just as with mass shootings, after a tragedy is "not the time" to "politicize" it by talking about preventing the next one. And I don't care.
TEXAS VOTERS: The MAGA party you put in power defunded weather forecasting to give billionaires a bigger tax break. Do better next time. Sorry for your loss.
Someone looked at all those colors and came up with "white-browed" as the descriptive name?
This would be awesome at Disneyland
Be aware that if you get nipped by any rabies vector species ( raccoon, bat, Fox and skunk are most common) its euthanasia and testing is required by law in most states. So handling them even if they seem habituated to humans isn’t worth the risk to them.
I really wish I could smack all those people talking over you! They have no idea what they are missing.
There is a more radical option.
Since felons can be elected , can we nominate Luigi Mangione?
It's here! The Downballot is so stoked to share our calculations of the results of the 2024 presidential election for all 435 congressional districts!

Identify these officers. They need to face consequences, legal or otherwise.
UnBrexit: coming to a polling place near you
Criminal "cop" in New Bedford MA. What's his name and address? Does he have a family? Why should terror only run one direction?
