i think it’s people like this guy who clearly are clever AF who fall through a system/society that doesn’t find a place for his level of strategy. what do you think?
wow. is that for any crime or, ya know, *just rape* (excuse my ignorance of the french legal system)
They’re going to shutdown the government before they even have a chance to run it.

A sense of defenselessness, of being unheard and unhelped, has become the common American culture, the thing that unites people on left and right. And we need to understand that deeply if we’re going to stop political violence from spreading further.

ICYMI, I proposed a bipartisan Stand Up To Trump Freedom Fund for lawyers, personal security, etc. so people can fight back if they are investigated, sued or fired. Should be set up now so people voting next month on Trump nominations know it's there. www.thebulwark.com/p/funders-sh...

👋🏻 (i think that’s the wave. don’t have my imma ol’ lady now glasses on)
So a reminder:
It’s not ‘liberals’ saying Hegseth abuses women. It’s his mom.

you, too!
ditto.
