Is there anything on this fucking planet that this orange clown cannot make worse?

The fact that the 2000 election was even close enough to require SCOTUS intervention proves the point.

The fact that any of those elections was even close still proves the point.

Nixon was elected twice. Reagan was elected twice. George W. Bush was elected twice. And you ask how Americans can be so stupid?

I see the war is in supremely competent hands so far.

These are the words and actions our next leader needs to live by. We can’t keep putting people in office who either don’t care or know how to lead. The entire government is lost.

Dear Women’s USA Olympic Hockey Team β€” First, congratulations! Second: I drove race cars for 19 yrs & the amount of misogynistic crap I put up with in the garage was insane. The U.S. Men’s Hockey Team has now shown you their true colors. Believe them. They’re not friends of your team or women in general. I’m so tired of this misogyny in sports & everywhere else in American life, to be honest. The patriarchy sucks. Grow the fuck up or hand the keys over to the ladies. Maybe it’s time we drive.

In 1954, Edward R. Murrow reminded us that disagreeing with those in power isn’t the same as being disloyal. He warned against letting fear take over & replacing evidence with accusations.

This is a call to courage. Freedom doesn’t protect itself.

Listen to this 13 year old who went to her city's council meeting.

She had some things she needed to get off her chest

Well, then, I guess there will have to be extralegal means applied to get justice, right?

Screenshot of a CNN segment shared by Acyn. A split-screen shows commentator Lydia Moynihan on the left and Kevin O’Leary on the right during a heated exchange. The chyron reads, β€œObama: Dems need to avoid scolding and β€˜virtue-signaling.’” The post quotes O’Leary referencing China and concentration camps, and McGowan responding about West Virginia.

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

I’m with you. No Amazon, no Netflix, no Spotify, but I do pay gladly for Criterion Channel streaming because it’s too expensive to receive physical media in France if it comes from the U.S. Criterion also has the best catalogue of films anywhere. On Netflix, it’s mostly shit; on Criterion all gold.

Black-and-white formal portrait of Juanita Moody, a pioneering American cryptographer and NSA executive, shown from the shoulders up. She has short, neatly styled dark hair with soft volume, and gazes to the right of the camera with a calm, confident expression. She wears a tailored dark jacket or coat with a high collar and visible buttons, set against a softly lit, gradient studio background that creates a dramatic, professional atmosphere.

Cryptographer Juanita Moody helped avert a nuclear war.

She played a pivotal role during the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962, where her leadership in signals intelligence (SIGINT) helped provide critical, real-time information to US decision-makers. Moody died #OTD in 2015. #WomenInSTEM
