NPR: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth reposts video of pastors saying women shouldn't vote

You know how people called women hysterical for predicting the right wing would take down Roe v. Wade (which they've done) and then attack access to birth control (which they're doing)?

Hear me when I say that women's very right to vote is next.

CORRUPTION UPDATE: Donald Trump accepted a β€œfree” luxury jet from Qatar.

A new report says taxpayers will be on the hook for up to $1 billion for renovations.

All for a jet that's going to his future Presidential Library.

Trans Pride NI 2025 Help us make a bigger & better Trans Pride Northern Ireland 2025 a reality!

OK folks, really need your help. Trans Pride NI is getting zero funding, nothing from the council or Belfast Pride and if they don't hit Β£5k, it won't happen. They're over Β£2k now.

Can we get this to target?

Please share.

Democratic Sen. Alex Padilla forcibly removed after trying to question DHS Secretary Noem Democratic Sen. Alex Padilla tried to as Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem a question. He was instead forcibly removed from her press conference.

Forcibly removing someone for asking questions at a press conference and then telling bystanders they can't record cops putting them in handcuffs is authoritarian and contrary to everything the First Amendment stands for.

Padilla: If this is how DHS responds to a senator with a question you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California.

β€œHis Army.” Fuck all the way off with that shit. The Army is not and never will be his. The Army swore an oath to the Constitution and they are paid for by us. That’s our Army. You served. You know that. You just like how the boot and the power tastes. You’re a disgrace to the uniform you wore.

Watch the slow motion: it appears to me that the officers discuss the photographer and reporter before the one on the end fires on them (it looks to me like he's aiming at the camera, not the reporter, but you decide)
