The skyline never disappoints at toilet time. How many toilet posts could a toilet post?

Immediately disqualifying for the job for which he has been nominated. The 4th Amendment specifies it’s “the right of the people,” not of citizens.

We cannot allow someone who doesn’t understand the 4th Amendment to be the head of DHS.

Oh, and look, here's that class action suit! That anyone with half a brain would have seen coming! From, like, a million miles away!

Just because you work in tech doesn't mean you're smart.

I have never met anyone who is more adept at tracking every last cent they have than people who live or have lived in poverty

it is a skill developed out of necessity and it never leaves you

Scientists Discover Way To Reverse Chemical Process Linked With Alzheimer’s Disease By watching Alzheimer’s-related protein clumping unfold second by second, researchers have uncovered new clues about the role of metal ions.

This amazing scientific advance may one day lead to either more effective treatments or dare I say perhaps a cure.
This is why it is vitally important to fund basic scientific research.

I made this a year ago, so CBS should now be under state run news. but other than that I think it still holds.

It's so bad that we've reached a point where members of Congress casually discuss stripping citizenship from and deporting people because they don't like their views.

OPINION: I asked a former Trump official to justify this war

OPINION: I asked a former Trump official to justify this war

So the case for Congress is, once we have gone to war, if they don’t like it, they can remove the money?

Congress does not have a constitutional role in the declaration of war. Congress has a role in cutting off funds for wars, which it has threatened to do. And the president doesn’t have to get permission.

But yes, you can debate, you can decide. That’s his choice in how he wants to do it.

I mean, here I will quote the Constitution: “The Congress shall have power to declare war, grant letters of marque and reprisal, and make rules concerning captures on land and water.”

Like at this point it’s no secret to the people writing these headlines that this kind of thing has been roundly criticized for years and years. It’s an intentional, conscientious decision on their part. They know they’re propagandists (and, for better or worse, we all are!).

We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.

Cis people need to pay attention to the way they communicate this. They freely admit that after all of their research, they came up with zero evidence that HRT was harmful.

Then they banned it anyway, claiming their inability to find a reason is a reason in of itself.

I don’t think that’s true because our Secretary of Defense, excuse me, War literally said on live television how refreshing and cool it was to have an ally who didn’t abide by targeting restrictions.

‘Dark, like our future’: Iranians describe scenes of catastrophe after Tehran’s oil depots bombed Residents report terror of smoke-filled city, from potentially toxic rain, air and water to food scarcity and difficulty of escape

“Tehran is burning. And smoke has filled the streets. It’s impossible to drive out of the city right now and even with the windows closed, heavy smoke is making its way inside."
