Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis Continues to Love Up on Law-Breaking Whites, Plans to Pardon All Residents Who Violated COVID Health Mandates
So one day God was on a bender. He was going through a bad break up and was really tying one on. Well, because God is God, he got hungry and the only thing open was a place called Ted’s Chili Hole. He’d never eaten there but figured how bad could it be? After 17…

Pro-COVID Parents Are Fighting School Mask Mandates With White Tears
I don’t like wearing masks. The only reason I wear them is that I have this thing about killing other people. My lack of a degree in virology combined with my reticence about coughing to death as my chest fills with lung-snot has placed me squarely in the not-wanting-to-die-so-I-guess-I’ll-wear-this-piece-of-cloth-on-my-face camp. But there is a group…

Biden to Expand Free Lunch Program to Provide Meals for 34 Million Students Throughout the Summer
While expanded vaccine eligibility hopefully means that the worst of the pandemic will soon be behind us, we’re still firmly in a recovery phase, and we have a long way to go before getting to whatever the new normal will be.

In True 'Stop and Frisk' Fashion, New Jersey Police Admit to Targeting Minority Neighborhoods in What They Call 'Hunting at the Border'
In today’s “Water is Wet” news we find, once again, that when police are sent to target civilians at random, black and Latino people will overwhelmingly represent the victimized. The nation saw a prime example of this in the form of New York City’s stop-and-frisk policy, which was first overseen by then-mayor and now U.S.…

D.C. Police Institute New Policy to Stop Handcuffing Children Under 12. Because, Duh!
The D.C. Police Department is showing us a shred of decency and common sense often found lacking in law enforcement. They’re not doing anything extra praiseworthy like freeing and expunging nonviolent convicts or storming the White House lawn to arrest Trump because they don’t need no stinking charges or legal precedent. Nope, they’re doing a…

President Stephen Miller Gets His Wish: Trump Promises Mass Deportations of Undocumented Immigrants Next Week
Rumor has it that when President Stephen Miller was born, he reportedly coughed and then asked to see his doctor’s paperwork. The doctor was not only offended, but he was in awe that a baby, literally a newborn, already had a receding hairline and was wearing a suit. Miller’s official capacity in the White House…
