This time a year ago, I was staying my first night in the hospital, having just been admitted late that night. In the year since, my glucose went from 296 in the ER to 60’s-80’s now. My A1C went from 9 to 5. I haven’t weighed in since early March, but I’m down at least 115lbs.

Kyle Kulinski on Jake Tapper: “When’s your book coming out on Trump, Jake? You could speak out sooner, but you’re not doing it. Why? Because you’re trying to keep your fucking job and you know you gotta coddle Trump’s balls on New CNN to please Bari Weiss and Donald Trump. Jesus fucking Christ I hate this guy”

theyre terrified of workers winning back power

you’re a multimillionaire paid by multibillionaires to DEFEND a trillionaire.

Today, Elon Musk, a trillionaire, pays the same amount into Social Security as someone making $184,500. If we end that absurdity and lift the cap on taxable income, we can make Social Security solvent for 75 years and expand benefits by $2,400. My Social Security bill does that.

It’s China Big Guy…

Trillionaires shouldn't exist and neither should billioniares. Tax every penny in net worth over $999 million at 100%. We can have extreme wealth concentration or a democracy but we can't have both at the same time. Pick one.

To everyone so eager to cancel someone for a tattoo they got at age 22, a drunk text, a selfie they took in the middle of a mental health crisis: Show us your laptop. Show us your iCloud. Open your entire digital life to your worst enemy. No context. No filter. No explanation. You won’t. You won’t because you know what I know. Any one of us, frozen at our worst moment, photographed in our lowest hour, looks like a monster. Looks like a stranger. Looks like someone who deserves to be cast out. That is not who we are. My mom and baby sister were killed in a car accident when I was just a kid. Cancer took my brother Beau, my best friend and my rock. I battled alcoholism. I battled addiction. I chose the coward’s way out more times than I can count. For years I believed the defining chapters of my life were written by tragedy, loss, and shame. I no longer believe that. Pain can shape us. Loss can humble us. Failures can leave scars that never fully fade. But none of them have the authority to define us. And it sure as hell ain’t the critic that counts. That authority belongs to us alone-the person in the arena. Every setback presents a choice. Play the victim, or cut the bullshit and take ownership for who we become next. Life does not determine our character. It reveals it. Again and again we are asked the same question. When shit happens, what next? We are not defined by what happened to us. We are not defined by the worst photo, the worst text, the worst tattoo, the worst night. We are defined by the person we choose to become. And by the courage to choose that person, every single day. So before you reach for the gavel - show us your laptop. You won’t. The whole world saw mine. And I am still here. Still becoming. Still choosing. Still standing. That is the only definition that matters.

again? still not a drag queen

“It’s time to wake the fuck up” Neil deGrasse Tyson: “Half of my fellow graduate students when I was getting my PhD were foreign nationals. Do you realize one third of all the Nobel Prizes in sciences won by Americans were won by immigrants to America? If you’re gonna trail the world in practically everything, including your economy, it’s time to wake the fuck up”

Katie, we may have many political disagreements, but I can respect you standing up for your boyfriend here

Now the Trump administration is sending the FBI to people's homes, often without warrants, fishing for information about supposed voter fraud in Ohio

- 745k are homeless in the US - medical bills are the #1 cause of bankruptcy - over 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck - bottom 80% of Americans have just 7% of the wealth Yet this criminal is now a trillionaire. We’re a failed country.

Platner wrote a ton about his political beliefs on Reddit. He didn’t think it’d be read. He was a woke BLM guy who talked about the struggles of LGBT marines & got into arguments with Holocaust revisionists. There is no Nazi on earth who would talk like this. It’s dispositive.

There’s a drag performer named Beariana Grande lmao

Dirtiest player in the game.

3 Indian sailors are dead after a US strike disabled the tanker MT Settebello in the Gulf of Oman. CENTCOM says it was carrying Iranian crude and ignored orders. (21 crew were rescued). India has summoned the US chargé d'affaires. This incident will outlast the news cycle. It's the 2nd Indian-crewed, Palau-flagged tanker hit by US forces in a single week (MT Marivex was first; all crew survived). Blockade enforcement is no longer an abstraction between Washington and Tehran. It's now killing 3rd-country seafarers. The world's tanker fleet runs on flags of convenience and Indian, Filipino and Chinese crews. A blockade that treats every non-compliant hull as a target puts those crews at risk. For shipping, this adds a layer on top of Hormuz war-risk premia now extend into the Gulf of Oman and Arabian Sea, crews may refuse Gulf routings, and insurers reprice everything Iran-adjacent. The blockade's cost is no longer just barrels. It's manpower and coverage. video source: current report
