Is a very community oriented platform that functions like Bluesky. It’s also black owned and there is zero tolerance for abusive behavior.

I'm not sure why former Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak isn't as much a part of the Epstein conversation as Prince Andrew. Virginia Giuffre wrote in her memoir that his rape of her was so violent he left her bleeding from her rectum, vagina and mouth.

And they never talk about trans men in women's bathrooms which they sure as heck wouldn't want either. It's their Christian pastors, not trans people, they have to watch out for.

For a Mennonite pastor selected by lot, members of their congregation when would help them plow their fields and get in the harvest.

From an Eli Mystal newsletter I subscribe to: "But, whatever, it’s Texas. If Jesus were a Democrat, he could literally lose by six points to a penis brought to life and given a cowboy hat. How else can you explain the continued political existence of Ted Cruz?"

At Largest ICE Detention Camp, Staff Bet on Detainee Suicides, AP Reports Camp East Montana has received several 911 calls in the span of five months about immigrants trying to harm themselves.

If they build, they will fill and if they fill, they will kill.

According to a federal court, Trump's IRS illegally shared confidential taxpayer information with ICE 42,695 times.

Depends on the atheist. I'd rather have a religious justice who opposes racism and misogyny than atheists like Sam Harris, Richard Dawkins or Bill Maher who promote them (and most of my atheist friends, incl. my husband, would too.)

I think you’ll find that the 20th and 21st century were just as barbaric as the middle ages.

You need to stop being brainwashed by Republicans about immigrants and trans people and be more worried about straight white men….

We don’t talk enough about how morally depraved the tech industry turned out to be. Every single ounce of their self-regarding statements of values was an outright lie.

You were correct in your original post. Also, Hillary Clinton helped overthrow the democratically elected president of Honduras and turned Libya into a failed state run by militias, and she was a good friend of Henry Kissinger.
But I digress.

Screenshot of email from U.S. President Donald Trump, with his black and white photo at the top bearing the text, "Stand With Trump!"
Text of email as follows:

MAGA!>
For many years, Iran wanted to bring DEATH to AMERICA.

That’s why I had no other choice.

In a strong and necessary move to protect our country, I launched Operation Epic Fury, a powerful military strike to stop Iran’s nuclear threat before they could put America and our allies in danger.

This operation has been greatly successful. We even took out the corrupt Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

That’s what peace through strength looks like.

Will you stand STRONG with me as I protect our country?
STAND WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP
Right now, I’m asking everyone who approves of Operation Epic Fury to rally behind me with incredible messages of support. Your words mean the world to me.

Of course you still have to pay to show your support for the war. No way to register your answer without a credit card.

Jesse Jackson sexually harassed my friend, who passed a few years ago. That’s not only who he was. I voted for him and think he really understood the systemic change needed in this country. But my friend kept saying β€œno,” and he refused to respect her integrity.

I think there’s something in our culture. It’s not a long way from the concept of rugged individualism to entitlement. Societies with a more community based culture don’t tend to do these things.
