gavin newsom is a very useful weathervane because he believes in nothing save the fact that he should be president

We didn't say body cams on ICE. Their murders are already on video. We said no more ICE.
Children need to be exposed to healthy, heteronormative role models like an adult man with a "cave" in the garage lined with pornography and his wife who collects hilarious text art about how she chugs wine because you were born.
"In St. Paul, at least one-fourth of students from Spanish-speaking homes have missed every day of school since Dec. 12."
Great read that made me nostalgic and grateful for the lost internet of my youth.
70% of all Harris voters in 2024 and 65% of all self identified Democrats believe Israel has committed genocide
60% of Democrats believe Israel kills children intentionally and whopping 77% overall have a negative view of Israel.
Mapped out, they just went down some of the busiest streets in Echo Park and Silver Lake, grabbing people as they went.
If you go through any of these neighborhoods, as a resident or commuter, you pass by these spots
A 35 year old letter to the editor, written by a very ballsy 15 year old, about the Rodney King verdict.
Remembering today that having your heart broken is a necessary step on the path to becoming fully human. Whichever heartbreak is your first, it’s probably critical that a state break your heart so that you can develop a political imagination. If this is your first, I’m sorry and also welcome.
"what are we going to do with 20,000 ICE agents if we abolish ice" well to start with I think we should all literally spit on them in public for the rest of their lives

Of course, this means high-density + high minority neighborhoods in the city are double taxed to pay for police that routinely violate their rights & freedom.
Obscene.
Predictable but still amazing to watch people who spent literally years accusing every librarian, teacher, and trans person they could find of sexually grooming children suddenly throw themselves in with "actually it's ephebophilia"
a donkey next to a smiling dog wearing a headscarf shaped like donkey ears
finally found the difference between truth and beauty

Please read this entire excellent piece by Caroline, which points out that a judge ordered the Feds (again) to stop doing **this exact kind of thing** and they are still continuing to do it all over Chicago
Like my mom did not start that rumor, but she very well could have, with full conviction.
Once heard a rumor that Ohtani was secretly Korean, the most Korean rumor I’ve ever heard.
“The question of who gets to live as long as they should isn’t moral but systemic.
We often say that death is the great unifier as it’s the one thing that we all have in common. But sometimes, I look around and wonder if even the after-life is segregated.”
Turns out your assumptions about what republican group chats are like is correct www.politico.com/news/2025/10...
Mood.
The last time I went to church was in 2008, when the pastor of the cool modern church I dropped into urged the congregation to vote Yes on Prop 8. But I’ve read the Bible, and Jesus said a lot more about loving your neighbor than same sex marriage and abortion and guns!
I doubt any of these people willingly open a Bible. Two brain cells and one parable would make them feel the heat of hell.
Bondi refuses to answer questions about allegations Trump's border czar Tom Homan took $50K in cash in exchange for his promise to funnel government contracts to "businessmen" who turned out to be FBI agents in 2024. After Bondi became AG, the investigation was terminated.
