The main difference between my parenting style and my parentsโ€™ is that when I say I will love my kid unconditionally, I truly mean it. I can think of several situations in which my parents would cut me off. My child can be whatever they truly are, who am I to have conditions?

User 'Olga Lautman' says, "Just in case people don't fully grasp it. The pardoning of insurrectionists is Trump's way of building loyalty from militias and domestic terrorists to carry out unofficial acts for him."

We must understand the signals and the plans. History teaches us these.

But the government does get to decide what healthcare it covers, whose IDs are valid, which people itโ€™s legal to discriminate against.

This culture war idiocy is so powerful. This is going to be a long fight.

Weird that we have to say this, but the government doesnโ€™t get to decide what gender a person is.

Just FYI, administrative warrants (like the ones used by ICE) are not judicial warrants (used by cops, signed by a judge).

You do NOT legally have to open the door for an ICE officer with an administrative warrant *no matter what the ICE officer says.*

Apparently, AOC said in the hearing to ban TikTok, there was little to know evidence presented and all the legislators were confused why the app was uniquely being presented as a threat.

I had polio when i was 9. I was taken from my parents & placed in a Hospital for contageous diseases- the polio ward. I would see them once a week - thru the glass window at the end of my ward. I could not walk. It was terrifying. Kids died. Iron lungs were awful. Dont let RFK Jr ban the vaccine

a lot of antivaxxers are grandmas who got grifted into a cult for a thousand small and systemic reasons that could have been avoided if the people who run this country prioritized education and healthcare. โ€œtheyโ€™re dumb and deserve to dieโ€ misses the point and is also vaguely eugenicsy, so

Can confirm, my brother became a cop and suddenly the whole family went from science-minded to hate-filled. I hate it here. Iโ€™m disabled and have been on oxygen for months at times, half my family wouldnโ€™t vax. Makes me feel real nice

liberals still believe that:
1) there are Good People and Bad People
2) Good People deserve nice things and Bad People deserve bad things
3) they are Good People and therefore better, more deserving people

which is, ironically, not very Good People shit

I feel the same way about people making light of DV as a dig at conservative womenโ€ฆ the leopards will eat their face at some point, no need to put DV on blast. But, being disabled, posting is community to me but we should be mindful. Not every internal thought needs posted
