John Brown believed he was sent by god to end slavery in the United States and did so by murdering slavers and attempting to steal weapons from the state to incite a rebellion. absolute legend he is also the face of the annual Johnson County Democrats fundraising gala
Went today to try and get my son a passport at the library. They only have so many time slots. Huge line and the lady that came out to tell us that we would likely not get a time slot said that the lines have grown a lot since the new year. Lot of people of color trying to get passports for their kids.
A joke for the history buffs: Germany’s satirical newspaper @der-postillon.com titles: “Vienna Academy of the Arts offers Trump admission as a student — They don’t want to get blamed again“— Dr. Jens Foell (@jensfoell.de) 2026-01-18T13:55:56.233Z
This is terrible. US States is just redundant. SMDH, we cannot allow this to stand. What's next? Laws written about ATM Machines?
This, a huge percentage these anti-vaxxer fat fucks are using Ozempic and couldn't handle going back.
Somebody posted Thursday or Friday about US automotive was going to crater in Mexico. Now that I am experienced world traveler and Mexican expert I can confirm. Already nonexistent. Ride from airport to Cancun resort had 1 US dealership. A Lincoln one at that. Everything else was non US. BYD and no Tesla, suck a dick Elon. On the road I saw one Ford and one Chevy sedan. Oh saw a couple of surbans owned by 'taxi' services. I suppose it could be different close to the boarder.
Red states will vote without issues. Blue states and cities will get to vote too. Won't be easy tho. The counting of the blue votes is a horse of another color
My biggest nerd ass hang-up that proves I did, in fact, work in national electoral politics is that support is a mostly meaningless, irrelevant number you can chop up to say whatever you want while intention to vote is what wins elections and speaks to the actual, functional support for a party.— olive consumer (@machete.gay) 2026-01-18T18:07:19.932Z
So Russia wants us to invade Greenland which would cause the collapse of NATO which would result in Russia further advancing in Ukraine, no?
I have an unhealthy hatred for the people doing this. ICE kidnapped an elderly Hmong man in St. Paul, Minnesota. The temperature was sub-zero, and he was taken only wearing shorts and Crocs, and no shirt. (1/18/26)— Raider (@iwillnotbesilenced.bsky.social) 2026-01-18T20:32:06.839Z
biggest question mark in my mind with regard to Greenland, NATO, the Mad King, etc. is nowhere near Greenland. It's Turkey. Strategically located, huge army. If they leave with the US, that's the end for Ukraine and would be extremely bad for the survival of the European social democracies.
I'd love to start a campaign to make people on TikTok WAKE UP cuz the Obama administration programmed us to pasteurize our piss before we drink it to make us slaves to INFLAMMATION. The GOVT does NOT want you drinking raw, proteinaceous whole piss
This is the sixth death in ICE custody in 18 days. This isn’t enforcement, it’s a system that cages people, outsources care, and shrugs when they die. Abolish ICE.— Adam Parkhomenko (@adamparkhomenko.bsky.social) 2026-01-18T21:28:59.270Z
I'm just here to say fairlife whole milk is my favorite milk. However the super long expiration dates scare me because one time I had a big wad of mold hiding at the bottom even though dates were well within range, and without seeing it at first I drank it and turned into a Last of Us.
According to Brian Stelter, 60 Minutes is finally airing the "Inside CECOT" story that Bari Weiss shelved. She made Sharyn Alfonsi fly to DC to get an interview with Tom Homan and Kristi Noem for the segment, but both refused. So it'll run tonight -- with no promotion and against the NFL playoffs.— Justin Baragona (@justinbaragona.bsky.social) 2026-01-18T20:16:02.381Z
Trump-backing billionaire Miriam Adelson at the Israeli-American Council, asked how she exerts (buys) influence with American politicians: "Can you allow me not to answer? I want to be truthful, and there are so many things I don't want to talk about."— The Tennessee Holler (@thetnholler.bsky.social) 2026-01-18T21:40:49.817Z Giving out the ol' nancy reagens
expiration date goes out the window once its opened says right on the bottle to finish within two weeks of opening
pretty sure fairlife buys milk from someone else, they just have a patented filtration process that allows it to last longer
How do people keep falling for this? This article doesn’t even have perhaps the weirdest detail of the whole thing - Cullen is a self-proclaimed tech entrepreneur and also a…Catholic knight? nymag.com/intelligence...— Mrs. Detective Pikajew, Esq.
