2 drivers in Florida started firing their guns at each other in a fit of road rage for no reason. One man had a 5-year-old in his car and the other one had a 14-year-old. Both of the children got shot. Just like our forefathers intended when they wrote the Constitution.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders is describing America as a blood soaked, dystopian hellscape. When did Republicans become so pessimistic about America? I like President Biden’s can-do optimism better.

So, let me get this straight. You can’t hand out water and snacks to people waiting in line to vote, but you can station yourself armed, in full tactical gear, and intimidate people trying to drop off a ballot?

For every extra $1 you’re paying due to inflation, 54¢ is going right into the pockets of big corporations. Wall Street is price gouging families to earn sky-high profits, jeopardizing our entire economy in the process.

This is Jean Kuczka. It barely made headlines, but yesterday a gunman stormed into her classroom in St. Louis. Without hesitating, she stood between him and her students. She gave her own life — to save everyone else. Know her name.

Oil prices today: $85.90 a barrel Gas prices today: $3.85 a gallon Oil prices in April 2010: $85.66 a barrel Gas prices in April 2010: $2.85 a gallon Gas prices are $1 a gallon higher than they should be because of Big Oil's greed. We need a windfall profits tax.

this should be as big of news as the notre dame fire imo. polynesian history is incredibly rich and the people of rapa nui were the most skilled sailors/explorers ever (yes, ever!). this history is important and deserves all our preservation efforts. they’ve already lost so much.

Trump called Elaine Chao “Coco Chow.” Senator Tuberville said reparations are for “people who do crime.” Kanye West threatened Jews with “dead con 3.” Folks, this is NOT normal. We can’t become numb to this. We must call out all of their hateful, racist remarks.

James Madison raped his half-sister who was a slave, had a son with her, then sold his child into slavery when he was a teenager and y’all mad at Lizzo for playing his flute?

Holy. Shit. Republicans’ newly-introduced national abortion ban would put doctors in prison for up to 5 years, force women to undergo extremely invasive transvaginal ultrasounds, and keep in place statewide bans that force rape victims to give birth.

So League of Their Own and She Hulk got review bombed with angry 1* reviews and I wonder how terrified some dudes are of women having any stories that make them the hero rather than the victim/prize. Like, what happened to those guys? It's ok little man. Women can have stuff too.
