It’s taken me 50+ years, in addition to therapy, to embrace myself just as I am. You’ve done well by your daughters. They sound like phenomenal women!

it's so deranged how rich business owners have demanded for decades that they be called "job creators" despite the fact that every single person i know has experienced a rich guy buying out an existing business and firing everyone and usually completely bankrupting it before cashing out and leaving

YES!

Aug. 9, 2014 | White Police Officer Shoots and Kills Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri Learn more about our history of racial injustice.

On this day in 2014, Michael Brown, an unarmed Black teenager, was killed by a white police officer in Ferguson, Missouri. A grand jury refused to indict the officer, who was never held accountable.

reversing Roe v Wade was a test.
(and it had nothing to do with fetuses).

it was a test
to see what would happen
if certain rights were taken away from american citizens --
to see what would happen, if.

essentially, nothing did.

women and children
are always going to be the first victims

A video arguing that women shouldn’t be able to vote was just shared by Trump’s Secretary of Defense, the guy in charge of our whole military.

And Democratic Party leaders still can’t stand up to this administration?! Our rights are on the line and all our party leaders offer us is silence.

Oh! I love doggie love! 💕

the continued capitulation of every corporation to fascism in pursuit of the almighty shareholder value is as unsurprising as it is blood-boiling

"They don't burn crosses anymore, they burn the system from inside, and call it patriotism.

And we don't call them what they are.

We say 'partisan', or 'polarized', or 'controversial', but changing the uniform doesn't change the Klan. They walk through the front door now."

Trump actually is ‘canceling’ the 2026 midterms, starting in Texas | Will Bunch Trump's outrageous push to kill five Dem House seats in Texas triggers a nuclear war that will end representative democracy.

OK, Trump can't actually cancel the 2026 midterms, but Texas redistricting scheme (and plans to bring it to FL, IN, etc.) is essentially that, deciding the election by a computer instead of a campaign the GOP will lose

Measles was eradicated with the vaccine, which is 97% effective at preventing measles.

Antivaxxers are the ones keeping people sick for profit.

Perhaps the “male loneliness epidemic” has something to do with their behavior?

14 Washington rural hospitals face risk of closure under proposed federal cuts The report identified 14 at-risk hospitals in Washington state.

14 rural hospitals in Washington are at risk of closing due to over $1 trillion in proposed GOP cuts to Medicaid and the ACA. That means fewer ERs, no OB care, and massive job losses in underserved areas—all to fund billionaire tax breaks. www.kiro7.com/news/local/1...

Video shows Department of Justice official urging Jan. 6 rioters to 'kill' cops The Department of Justice hired a former Jan. 6 defendant who was caught on tape urging rioters to "kill" police. The department calls him a "valued member" of the administration.

So many institutions have failed for this guy to end up a high-ranking DOJ official. www.npr.org/2025/08/07/n...

No one should ever have the power to autonomously cancel hundreds of millions of dollars for scientific research based on some lies they saw on YouTube.

Table 1. Clinical trials of mRNA cancer therapeutics initiated in the years from 2019 to August 2024

Researchers have registered more than 120 clinical trials to date evaluating the potential of mRNA-based approaches for treating many types of cancer, including lung, breast, and prostate, pancreatic, and brain tumors.

Why you might not know that 2024 was America's safest year since the 1960s An overwhelming majority of Americans, 64 percent, believe that crime increased across the country in 2024, according to a Gallup survey conducted late last year.

Why isn’t this front and center? When Hurricane Helene hit in North Carolina I heard for weeks on end how FEMA wasn’t doing enough on the ground, even though a huge number of people were mobilized.

“Get up”

I don’t think that means what you think it means…says the shitzu

RFK Jr. pulls funding for vaccines being developed to fight respiratory viruses The projects — 22 of them — are being led by some of the nation’s leading pharmaceutical companies like Pfizer and Moderna to prevent flu, COVID-19 and H5N1 infections.

Vaccines are our greatest scientific achievement. This is criminal.

I was one of the columnists who left the Post after owner Jeff Bezos demanded the Opinion section largely focus on “personal liberties and free markets." Yes, they’re under pressure. But maybe these leaders kinda like what Trump’s doing.

We should have the House right now. Let me say it again: we should have the House.

This ain’t just a Texas problem, it’s a national problem. They’re stealing seats to keep power, and that’s how we ended up with Speaker Johnson instead of Speaker Jeffries.

They can’t win fair, so they cheat.

RFK Jr. cuts $500 million in mRNA vaccine contracts, dealing major blow to promising area of research The cuts add to mounting evidence that Kennedy is pursuing an aggressive anti-vaccine agenda.

We need a word for someone who is beyond perverse, sadistic, sociopathic. Blocking mRNA vaccine research means that you or someone you love will die of something you could have avoided or survived. He is intentionally killing people.
