This might be Graham's funeral, but it's Trump's show. There's one aspect of Teddy Roosevelt that Trump truly does embody. As Alice Longsworth Roosevelt famously said: "My father always wanted to be the corpse at every funeral, the bride at every wedding and the baby at every christening."

It is an assault, especially for those of us who've experienced religious abuse.

For those of us who have faced religious abuse from institutions and/or from shitty parents: I am a pacifist and have never hit a bitch. I would, without hesitation, hit this one.

This is exactly what Alex Jones is doing. It's part of why we're doing this. Corrupt people have found an end-around for paying out in the American court system by hiding assets in shell companies and just continuing onto the next scam.

Remember: Data show the US isn't actually more litigious than any other country. Instead, we're underregulated relative to other countries, because corporations keep telling lawmakers that courts and lawsuits will do the job that regulations are supposed to do.

that is in fact literally in the bible. it's Matthew 6:5.

Manosphere grifters have figured out that some men are easily manipulated by making them feel insecure about their masculinity. The GOP has turned this sales pitch into both an ideology and a campaign strategy. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Fantasizing about the sort of country we'd have if there was at least one political party that supported majority policies like this one

there remains no subject on which elite consensus is so incredibly behind the voters than views of Israel and Bibi this is I think actually worse in punditry than in Dem electeds, who are at least starting to get the message via primary signaling

would you still love me if I were a mulshi woodland floor?

Well here's a crisis we can almost all do something about, so that's a silver lining

imo the ideal Odysseus would've been Gene Wilder, but we would never have deserved that movie.

The slur "tonks" is used by Border Patrol to describe migrants. It's derived from the sound a baton or heavy duty flashlight makes when hitting a migrant over the head.

📌Six years ago tonight, while John Lewis became the first Black lawmaker to lie in state our Capitol Rotunda, Trump made a point of saying he would not attend. He did this because he’s a bigot, and his rancid base expects this kind of grotesque behavior. Six months later they attacked the Capitol.

While we are in this Greek Mythology moment, may I remind you that Emma Thompson is adapting Pat Barker’s take on The Iliad, and she’s struggled to get it made bc the focus on what acts of war against women and survival thereafter actually look like (the core of Barker’s narrative) is too intense.

John Gai carried his sick father to a nearby clinic in a wheelbarrow, but he died from cholera on the way. Gai then pushed the wheelbarrow for hours through the camp to take him to the cemetery: “Nobody should have to carry a dead body among the living.” (Published December 2025)

Every person this administration wrongly deported should be granted asylum and a path to citizenship. Won’t even begin to right wrongs like this. But it’s a place to start.

This is also why I’ll never get over a whole generation of politicians rushing to say how much they empathized with Kalief Browder only to turn around and reinforce the same systems that lead to his death.

We actually had the 16th highest mortality rate in the world and it largely resulted from the ignorant asshats who were *resisting* the common sense protection measures Fauci was promoting like masking and distancing. What a colossal asshole.

This president is allowed to savagely lie about transgender Americans, and Muslim-Americans, and Haitan or Somali immigrants and more because he's America's Special Little Boy. No consequences for him or for the entire party that has his back.
