A round up of trvmp's Ls this week......in 5 parts because there were a lot!🔥🔥🔥🔥

Video 1/5

Musk now has a well-established pattern of pursuing younger women and having children with them, only to humiliate them later and do whatever he wants with the kids, regardless of their wishes. Unfortunately, there will always be another woman who falls for it. The problem is him

Justifying victim blaming in cases where victims have been immoral, unethical, and harmful just creates the fallacy that abuse can be denied if you just dig up or make up bad things the victim has done. We see this play out every day

For the record this story was originally reported by @capitol.press, who is out with another profile of another Venezuelan refugee with no criminal record who has been sent to Guantanamo for having tattoos:

If you live in New York State and think Gov. Kathy Hochul should remove the corrupt mayor of NYC, give her a call or send her a letter.

I wouldn’t celebrate my new position by getting burgers with a thrice convicted pedophile, but I’m just different i guess.

CM Caban on most recent Adams corruption news:

Police ‘predators’ set to return after Met loses vetting case Met Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley said it is ‘possible’ sacked officers could return to the force

The Met Police Federation’s fight to reinstate officers with horrific pasts betrays victims, the public + colleagues. It silences whistleblowers, protects abusers, and unravels reform.

Sgt Lino Di Maria - accused of rape, sexual assault, and domestic abuse - won his case. The Home Office must act.

Got my first "Violating an Executive Order" and "I'll make sure you lose federal funding" parent threat today for teaching "DEI" books in our upcoming "Liberty and Justice" themed unit. Even in "Blue" Massachusetts we're dealing with this.

Anyway, don't obey in advance, and don't obey later.

BREAKING: NIH admits funding freeze is illegal, will resume issuing grants An internal memo issued February 12 was obtained by Popular Information.

BREAKING

On Monday, Popular Information broke the news that the NIH had frozen virtually all grant funding in violation of 2 federal court orders

On Wednesday, NIH leadership distributed a memo, acknowledging that its funding freeze was illegal and directing staff to resume issuing grants.

Freeland: Our retaliation is going to be a lot more surgical than that. We are going to go after American stakeholders who matter to The White House. I have proposed a 100% tariff on all Teslas. I am calling on all the countries that are affected by this tariff to join us

Tragic Kiena Dawes' abusive boyfriend vows to get custody of daughter, 3 THE family of tragic Kiena Dawes face a fresh fight after her abusive boyfriend vowed to get custody of their daughter. Ryan Wellings was jailed for six and a half years last week. He was convicted…

Kiena Dawes, who tragically took her own life in 2022 after enduring abuse from her ex, now faces another injustice as her abuser seeks custody of their 3-year-old daughter. Kiena’s mum, Angela, says, ‘She would be heartbroken to know he’s trying to take her child.’ The family vows to fight.

In the case of rape and sexual slavery the answer is fucking never.

When people say we need to examine the evidence in a sexual violence/abuse claim before believing it they should be reminded that the pro-victim side overwhelmingly does that and it's the anti-victim side that overwhelmingly distorts and falsifies evidence to try and undermine the victim

"No one for a moment believes that Eric Adams snuck off to Mar-a-Largo to advocate for the needs of any New Yorkers other than his own. The Mayor faces a federal trial on corruption charges in three short months and wants to appeal to the one person who can make it all go away. I fear he will sell out our city to achieve that outcome."

Mayoral candidate @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social in response to news that indicted Mayor Eric Adams met with Trump at Mar-A-Lago in an unannounced trip on Thursday:

“No one for a moment believes that Eric Adams snuck off to Mar-a-Largo to advocate for the needs of any New Yorkers other than his own.”

Among the key findings: Compared to their normal birth weight siblings, low birth-weight children are 30 percent less likely to be in excellent or very good health in childhood. They also score significantly lower on reading, passage comprehension, and math achievement tests. Low birth-weight children are roughly one-third more likely to drop out of high school relative to other children. Low birth weight has significant negative effects on adult health, equivalent to being 12 years older in one's 30s and 40s. Weighing less than 5.5 pounds at birth increases the probability of being in fair or poor health as an adult by over 70 percent. Not only does birth weight have large and lasting effects across the life span, the researchers note, but its effects become larger later in life. For example, low birth weight children are nearly twice as likely as their normal birth-weight siblings to be in problematic health by ages 37–52 (23 percent versus 12 percent). The earnings penalty for being born low weight also increases with age, from 10.2 percent at age 25 to 15.6 percent at age 35. Low birth weight is linked to a 10 percent reduction in hourly wages from ages 18–26, compared to the wages of normal birth-weight siblings, but a 22 percent reduction in wages from ages 37–52. Low birth-weight children, relative to their normal birth-weight siblings, work 7.4 percent fewer hours in adulthood. These effects of poor infant health persist, in sibling comparisons, after accounting for the independent effects of birth order, mother's age at birth, birth year cohort, race/ethnicity, family structure, parental income, and parental fertility timing.

Babies born healthier may be the most transformative of all Universal Basic Income effects. Epigenetics shows that healthier babies will be healthier adults, who will have healthier babies, and low birth weight is correlated to less healthy adults who earn less.

Every single anti-vaxxer I know (and it turns out I know an alarming amount) took the standard CDC schedule as a kid. Somehow they all miraculously dodged the bullets loaded into every vaccine, though! The absolute nonsense people buy into when they need to feel special, man...

I do feel like we forget that a mere 100 years ago 20% of children in America just fucking died.

It's striking to see the impressive speed and unity with which our government can ban an app where the poors are talking, considering how woefully ineffective they've been at stopping school shootings, slowing climate change, and listening to demands to stop funding a genocide.

A mother survivor of gender-based violence faces arrest for protecting her daughter  - Women's Link Worldwide Marisol* and her daughter Aurora* are both survivors of gender-based violence.

In January, a mother may be forced to return to Spain and face imprisonment after fleeing with her child. Police found her ex-husband posed a "high risk" of “very serious or even lethal violence” to them, but the court relied on Parental Alienation Syndrome.

Alabama has made $250M since 2000 from garnishing prisoner's wages.

Prisoners who the prison system claim are too dangerous for parole, but are fine to be unsupervised providing cheap labor for corporations. The for profit prison system is unethical & abusive.

What the most famous book about trauma gets wrong People kept telling me to read "The Body Keeps the Score." I was shocked at what it actually says.

Am I the only one who cannot hear about this book without immediately chanting LET THE BODIES KEEP THE SCORE, LET THE BODIES KEEP THE SCORE in my head

....and another thing.

Only ELEVEN Democrats voted against this bill which strips trans kids of their healthcare. Eleven. As the party lurches forward with a collaboration-with-Trump plan, we have officially been abandoned.

The Luigi-Scolds Don't Care About Changing Your Mind Online Scolds Know Their Tactic Doesn't Persuade People. That's Not Why They Do It.

“The goal of the scolds has never been to change hearts or minds. It was never about deep concern for a culture that was resorting to violence as a last resort. America has always been a deeply violent place, and these same people never really gave shit about any of that”

Very cool the term "femcel" is being legitimized & incels are being diluted to a "both sides" with no power dynamics or history of violence. And that apparently feminism can mean right-wing trad.

Elizabeth Nakagawa, a coast guard service member,nearly died after being denied a D&C because tricare denied coverage.

Elizabeth's d&c was canceled, resulting in her being rushed to the ER while hemorrhaging, only to have to wait 4 more hours to get authorization for treatment.
