Not surprised. Men have most likely been trying to control women since the dawn of humankind. Religion, education, voting, marriage, weight…

NOEM: Our federal detention centers are held to the highest standards in comparison to other detaining facilities

McBATH: Did you just hear me? He has to crawl through mold and feces and bodily fluids just to take a shower. This is absolute lunacy and you know it.

NEW: Russia is luring African men with false promises of good jobs, only to be forced into military service in Ukraine.

Numerous recruits report being unpaid, stripped of passports, and abused while trapped on the front lines.

Sure, as long as when he doesn’t inevitably turn into a Fetterman (who is a disaster, but still better than Dr. Oz would have been) you are humbled enough to realize that you don’t know everything or are able to predict the future and maybe are part of why Dems have trouble getting people elected.

We have added 4.2 million new humans since 01.01.2026 πŸŽ‰

A single human needs between 1,000-4,000m2 for #food depending on diet (vegan to Standard American Diet).

4.2 million X 2,000m2 = 8,330 km2 or 833,000 ha in 19 days.

Where does this "new" food land come from? What will happen next? #Water?

What happened 60 million years ago was a combination of an asteroid & volcanos. Today, we lose biomass 100 times faster than 60 million years ago and species go extinct 10 times faster. Since we have multi-celled life (600M years) there has never been anything like humans. Peak pain & destruction.

If Trump’s war in Iran drags on due to poor planning, the biggest winner won't be in the Middle East.

It will be the Kremlin.

High oil prices from a messy conflict directly pad Putin's war chest and fund the invasion of Ukraine

Minnesota is mourning the loss of Sergeant First Class Nicole M. Amor of White Bear Lake who was killed in Kuwait on Sunday.

She answered the call to serve and gave her life in service to our state and nation. Minnesotans are wrapping our arms around her loved ones.

I’ve watched people over many years rip apart their own candidates and lose elections. Social media has made that so much worse, it influences people who are voting. He’s kind of a perfect hybrid for getting elected in Texas really, I think he’s a good guy, if that makes any difference to you. Lol

I saw a post on Instagram about how successful men have been over many decades at convincing women that looking weak and frail is attractive because women with weight and muscle are too intimidating, and they’ve done such a good job that women have internalized it and even shame each other about it.

I disagree and I think all the guessing what he might be or do is something we Dems do all the time with candidates and why we aren’t as successful as Reps at winning. We need him to win.

Stop with the bullshit about Talarico’s β€œvibes” and I hope he doesn’t do this/that. I preferred Crockett but James is a good guy w/ liberal views. He has spoken repeatedly about separating church and state.

The hand-wringing I’m reading below is how we didn’t get Kamala elected. Stop it. #voteblue
