The GOP, his not doing anything new.
In fact they are planning the same old shit.

The ABCs of Democracy via Rep. Hakeem Jeffries.
1. I don't know who created this graphic so I'm including a link to where I first saw it.
2. Representative Hakeem Jeffries' name did not appear on the original artwork so I added it on the bottom to give due credit to the quote.

@SandHillThicket - Sleep with one eye open, human.
@Jmwetherington - Can confirm with Prometheus rn. The time I spent wandering thru Noomi Rapace's IMDb pages would have been better spent paying attention.
@Jeber I can't believe that I used to walk 4mi a few times a week, and I had two onsite clients. Now it takes an act of Congress to check my PO box once a week.

CVS is being sued for asking customers to donate to the American Diabetes Association when they check out. Those donations are in fact *not* sent to the ADA, but instead reimburse the CVS for a legally binding obligation of $10M that CVS promised earlier

Seriously though, we do need to worry about groomers who dress up in weird outfits and tell ridiculous stories to children.
We do.
Keep your kids away from priests, that's what I'm saying.

All silliness aside, if you know anyone in Ukraine or know anyone who knows anyone, this may be useful. It's website of ads of people providing free temporary housing to displaced Ukrainians. Each ad is vetted manually. Please do pass this along if you think it would be helpful.

@CriticalCupcake - I ran an auto repair shop in the 00s. Someone called and said, "I have a Mazda Navaho," and I replied, "Oh, you're the one!"
Awkward silence.
(It turned out ok, just too soon)

Wanna learn more about the brutality of Russian rule? Ask Estonians about the Patarei prison. Ask Ukrainians about the Holodomor. Ask Azerbaijani about the Black January. Ask Kazakhstani about the Jeltoqsan massacre. Ask the denizens of states ruled by Moscow and the more you’ll know.
