Where is the gofundme page for these two? 🤣

My heart breaks every day.
I don't know how so many people think this is okay

Hegseth reposts video on social media featuring pastors saying women shouldn't be allowed to vote The man who oversees the nation’s military has reposted a video on X, formerly Twitter, about a Christian nationalist church that included various pastors saying women should no longer be allowed to vote and should “submit” to their husbands.

“All of Christ for All of Life,” Hegseth wrote in his post that accompanied the video.

This isn't at all disturbing or against our constitution...

Mr.E on Substack Biggest truth today

Absolutely startling how quickly we've changed our behavior, in just the last 25 years.

For decades, I have wished for so-called "pay day loans" to be illegal. I thought usury was illegal

Please - if you can - support the media you value. They have to pay their bills, and we need their knowledge and voice.

I thought I had crafted a great bingo card. Who knew I'd need 100 cards to cover all this?

I hope Netanyahu and his Ministers burn in Hell. And right now, I wished I believed in one.

She's from Florida, sigh. So is Rubio, sigh.
I'm really, really sorry

Scary shit. Happening among all the other scary, horrible shit. Times like this, I wish I wasn't so well-informed :/

The Biggest Lie Awards go to the propagandists that convinced people that billionaires are our benevolent benefactors & have our best interests at heart, while also convincing white Christians that they are the ones that are being discriminated against, simply because others seek equality.

There is no putting this genie in the bottle.

Elez was granted access to the source codes of ASAP/ /SPS/PAM & also read-only access to the production database for the SPS & PAM. People with knowledge of Treasury systems tell WIRED that it would be uncommon, if not “unheard of,” for anyone to have access to all these systems simultaneously."

Racist bonus, Elez was the was the dude that wrote all types of racists posts, including this gem: "Just for the record, I was racist before it was cool." He wrote this less than a year ago.
This person is allegiant to Musk, not the United States of America.

Inside DOGE’s Plan to Invade the Treasury—and Throttle USAID Court filings show that from the earliest days of the second Trump administration, Elon Musk’s DOGE had a plan to infiltrate US Treasury payment systems—and turn them against USAID.

Let this sink in: One person....ONE, unvetted person, chosen by another unvetted and unelected billionaire (Musk), with zero security clearance, was given access to the entire US payment system. Not only that, but given the permission and access to WRITE code on this system!

Did you spend the time to delete who you followed, and your posts? You seem to be more up-to-date with the right moves to take.

That was both funny, and scary as hell. These f'in incompetents at the helm of very important departments...China, NK, and the Soviets must be crying with joy.

They all look delicious. The nutella bread is especially beautiful. I've never tried to make palmiers....do you make your own pastry dough for those?

She is not wrong. I can't think of a better image.

As I wrote last week: "As other information sources fall, Wikipedia’s stubborn independence becomes more vital than ever. The attacks from [the right] aren't just about an online encyclopedia — they're part of a broader assault on any information source that refuses to be controlled."

I keep saying that. To the people that complain about the prices...that the president has power over those commodities. "Ummmm, that's called socialism, and you don't seem to like that"

He just loves to chum those waters for his cult.

"There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life".

After several months with no rain, my birds are all atwitter with this nice shower we've been getting for a couple of hours. They are singing their songs and delightful to hear.

They certainly look delicious! I'm sure they brought happiness in more than one way :)

Beautiful. Doesn't look like beginner level. It's obvs your superior teaching skills that made this work 💘

I'm obvs missing out on an opportunity to express my artistic side. I mean, you're putting a whole new spin on the term 'artisan bread'

I've been making my own sauces and breads lately. Fulfilling, and full feeling 🤣

I need some new ones. I'll have to come back to this post. Probably after the holidays 😅🎄❄️🎁
